Enforcer
provides Multi-user Access Control to devices running the Palm operating
system - including organizers from Palm Computing, Handspring, IBM, TRG
and Symbol.
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
