<title>Restricting Access to Installed Applications</title>
|

|
|
|

|
|
<p>You can prevent a user from running specific applications which are already
|
|||
|
|
installed on the computer. This could be useful if other users need those
|
|||
|
|
applications but they are not appropriate for a child.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>When installing additional software, you should consider whether that needs
|
|||
|
|
to be restricted for some users — newly installed software is usable by all
|
|||
|
|
users by default.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>To restrict a user’s access to a specific application:</p>
|
|||
|
|
<steps>
|
|||
|
|
<item><p>Open the <app>Parental Controls</app> application.</p></item>
|
|||
|
|
<item><p>Select the user in the tabs at the top.</p></item>
|
|||
|
|
<item><p>Press the <gui style="button">Restrict Applications</gui> button.</p></item>
|
|||
|
|
<item><p>Enable the switch in the row for each application you would like to restrict the user from accessing.</p></item>
|
|||
|
|
<item><p>Close the <gui>Restrict Applications</gui> window.</p></item>
|
|||
|
|
</steps>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>Restricting access to specific applications is often used in conjunction
|
|||
|
|
with <link xref="software-installation"/> to prevent a user from installing
|
|||
|
|
additional software which has not been vetted.</p>
