Kiosk Accounts
Workstation and network logins and logouts are often times several minutes in
duration. In a multi-user environment, this delay can be frustrating. Ensure
Technologies has developed a secure multi-user shared account feature that provides
both security and fast multi-user access. In many settings, you may want to set up a
single system account (Microsoft or Novell) for an entire class of users (for example,
a “Nurses” account in a hospital or a “Sixth Grade Math” account in a school). You
may easily set up such a “kiosk” account by adding multiple keys to the same
account. In this Kiosk account, all users share the same XyLoc preferences except for
Range and XyLoc Password.
This enables the shared use of a single account, while still tracking individual users’
access of the account in the XyLoc activity logs. Switching among users is fast and
convenient.
NOTE: Support for Kiosk accounts in the XyLoc Solo package is limited to 5
users. The XSS-MD package is required for further support of Kiosk accounts.
Please review the XSS User Guide for more detail on creating Kiosk accounts in
that package.
A kiosk account called “IT Staff” with three keys assigned to it.
