What is Multi-user Access Control?
Multi-user Access Control means that an administrator can create accounts for different users on a single Palm device. The administrator can decide which applications each user has access to. When the user logs in they are only able to run the applications that the administrator has granted them access to. In addition, the administrator can decide which users can see data records marked as private.

This is the Enforcer Log-in screen. It appears when the device is switched on. Users identify themselves with their name and password.	This is the Enforcer Launcher for an example user. The administrator selects which applications the user can run. Only those that can be run are shown in the user's launcher.

Why do I need it?
There are many situations where you might benefit from using Enforcer. Here are some examples:

Your company has developed a custom solution and you're giving Palm devices to all your employees. You might want your staff to only be able to use the applications that you have selected - perhaps to reduce training or support costs. You might also be keen to prevent your employees using software from the Internet on your Palm devices. Enforcer lets you choose the applications that users can see and use, so you don't have to worry.

You let your child play games on your Palm organizer. And why not? There are lots of great games. But how do you stop your child accidentally deleting all your contacts or important memos? Easy - use Enforcer to restrict what your game-playing child can access!

You like to show off your Palm-based organizer or software product, but don't want other people to see your private data, or add new files. With Enforcer you can create a guest account, limiting what people can do. Or, if you're at a tradeshow set up an Enforcer account that can only access the software that you are trying to sell.

What else can Enforcer do?
Enforcer's strength lies in its apparent simplicity. But don't be fooled - Enforcer can do all this:

• Create and manage accounts for multiple users
• Create and manage multiple administrator accounts
• Password protect each user's account
• Grant application access on a per-user basis
• Create a default set of applications
• Grant access to private data on a per-user basis
• Force users to log-in each time, or only after a log out
• Show each user the applications they can run
