PC Chaperone enforces policy restrictions for individual users by adding user accounts to a policy's
user list
|
|
|
|
|
|
A policy can have an unlimited number of users, but a user account can only be added to one policy
|
|
|
|
|
|
The information required to add a user depends on the User Account Type setting:
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the User Account Type is set to mirror the Windows user accounts then
the only required information is the user name (Fig 1). This user name must match a Windows user name
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the User Account Type is set unique PC Chaperone users a user name and
password must be provided (Fig 2)
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Advanced button is used to change the User Account Type

User Accounts entered improperly when the User Account Type
is set to mirror the Windows user accounts
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the user account is entered into PC Chaperone incorrectly there are two ways PC Chaperone
can react depending on the
Default Policy
setting
If the
Default Policy
has been set PC Chaperone will enforce the restrictions in this policy. This can make it appear
as if the users restrictions are not working properly since the restrictions being enforced will
not be the expected policy that the user account is thought to be associated with
If the
Default Policy
has not been set the user will be informed that the current Windows account has not been
added to PC Chaperone. In order to continue using the computer the Administrator's Password
will have to be provided
|
|
|
|
|
|
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 shows the wrong user or policy
|
|
|

|
|
A policy can have many users, but a user can only be added to one policy
|
|
|
2.
|
|
If the
User Account Type
is set to Unique PC Chaperone users the accounts must have passwords assigned to them
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1.
|
|
Adding users that require the same access restrictions to the same security policy
simplifies the initial setup and future changes
|
|
|
2.
|
|
Guest Account
|
|
|
If the
User Account Type
is set to "Unique PC Chaperone users" a guest account that doesn't require a password can
be created by adding a user with the name "Guest". The Guest Account can be added to
any policy
