Dell Hybrid Client version 2403 Administrator's Guide

Configure multiple local user accounts

Dell Hybrid Client supports up to eight local user accounts on a single device. Each local user home directory is protected with ZFS. One local user cannot view the data of another local user. The data of each local user is preserved across logins.

1. Log in to Wyse Management Suite.
2. Go to the Groups & Configs page, and select your preferred device policy group.
3. Click Edit Policies > Dell Hybrid Client 2.x.
   The Configuration Control | Dell Hybrid Client 2.x page is displayed.
4. Click the Advanced tab.
5. Expand Privacy & Security, and click Local User Account Properties.
6. Click the Local user account toggle key to enable or disable the local user account. By default, the local user account is disabled.
7. In the Local User section, click Add Row, and configure the following options:
   1. In the Set username for Local user field, enter the username for the local user account.
   2. In the Set password for Local user field, enter the password for the local user account.
      The minimum password length is nine characters and the maximum password length is 127 characters. The password must contain at least one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter, one numeric digit, and one special character. You must avoid the $% combination. Do not use your username as your password.
   3. Click the Auto SignOn toggle key to ON state to enable the local user to automatically log in to Dell Hybrid Client.
   4. Click the Admin Rights toggle key to grant administrative rights to the local user. If enabled, the local user can run the root commands using sudo.
   5. Click the Remove Device Lock and Password prompt on wakeup toggle key to ON state to enable the option. After the device or display resumes from sleep mode, the lock screen is no longer displayed and the device does not prompt for a password.
8. To add multiple local users, repeat step 7.
9. Click Save and Publish.
   A restart notification is displayed on the device if you modify the auto signon, admin rights, and remove lock settings.
   NOTE:When multiple local user accounts are added and the auto sign-on feature is enabled for multiple users, only the first user is selected for auto sign-on.

   NOTE:When the device fails to create a user, you can view the Events tab in Wyse Management Suite to analyze the failure.
