PC Chaperone provides two user account type options:
|
|
|
Unique PC Chaperone Users
|
|
With this user type a separate PC Chaperone login is required when the computer is started,
in addition to any required Windows logon
This user type is ideal if several user logon to Windows under the same account
|
|
|
Mirror Windows Accounts
|
|
With this user type PC Chaperone will detect the current Windows user account name and apply
the associated security policy. Users will not have to log into PC Chaperone separately from
their normal Windows login
These accounts are the actual Windows User accounts created using the Windows tools
This user type is ideal if all users have their own Windows account

Most problems occur when the user type is set to mirror the Windows user accounts and
the users are not entered into PC Chaperone properly
|
|
|
|
|
|
The symptom of this error is a user whose access restrictions are not being enforced
|
|
|
|
|
|
PC Chaperone provides three tools to help with this problem:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1.
|
When a user account is added to a policy the current Windows user account name
will be displayed, as PC Chaperone sees it. This helps ensure the user names are being
formatted properly
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2.
|
If the current Windows user cannot be found when the user logs in a message will be
displayed indicating the error and giving the current Windows user name, as PC Chaperone sees it
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3.
|
Confirmation of the current PC Chaperone user and policy in effect can be seen by selecting the
User Info option from the PC Chaperone's
System Tray Icon.
This will also display the current Windows account name, which can be used as a reference
if the user information is incorrect
|
|

The user account type can be changed at any time

|
Action taken when the current Windows user account cannot be found in PC Chaperone when the
user type is set to mirror Windows account names
|
|
|
|
|
|
PC Chaperone has two options that determine the action taken if the current Windows user
has not been added to PC Chaperone depending on the
Default Policy
setting
|
|
|
|
|
|
If a
Default Policy
has not been set the user will be unable to continue using the computer, unless they are able to provide
the Administrators Password
|
|
|
|
|
|
If a
Default Policy
has been set the user will be able to continue using the computer in accordance with the restrictions
that have been set in the
Default Policy
