Configure Fast User Switching on ThinOS
Fast User Switching (FUS) is a feature of the Imprivata ProveID Embedded (PIE) agent that enables multiple users to securely
access the shared environment. You can deploy a virtual desktop with FUS to eliminate the need for generic user log-ins.
Prerequisites

● Ensure that you have configured the policies on the OneSign server.
● Ensure that you have enabled the PIE mode and configured the OneSign server on Admin Policy Tool or Wyse Management
Suite. For more information, see Enable PIE mode on ThinOS.
For more information about how to configure the virtual desktop and OneSign server policies, see the documentation at
www.imprivata.com.
