<title>Introduction to Parental Controls</title>
|
||
|
||
<p>Parental controls are a way to restrict what non-administrator accounts can
|
||
do on the computer, with the aim of allowing parents to restrict what their
|
||
children can do when using the computer unsupervised or under limited
|
||
supervision.</p>
|
||
<p>This functionality can be used in other situations – such as other
|
||
carer/caree relationships – but is labelled as ‘parental controls’ so that
|
||
it’s easy to find.</p>
|
||
<p>The parental controls for any user can be queried and set using the
|
||
<app>Parental Controls</app> application. This lists the non-administrator
|
||
accounts in tabs along its top bar, and shows their current parental
|
||
controls settings below. Changes to the parental controls apply immediately.</p>
|
||
<p>Restrictions on using the computer can only be applied to non-administrator
|
||
accounts. The parental controls settings for a user can only be changed by
|
||
an administrator, although the administrator can do so from the user’s
|
||
account by entering their password when prompted by the <app>Parental
|
||
Controls</app> application.</p>
