Feature changed by: jpxviii jpxviii (jpxviii) Feature #306282, revision 16 Title: Restricted Guest Account Hackweek V: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important openSUSE-11.2: Rejected by Stephan Kulow (coolo) reject date: 2009-08-12 11:18:00 reject reason: no volunteer and only 5 votes. Priority Requester: Desirable Projectmanager: Neutral openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority - Requester: Important + Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Stephan Binner (beineri) Description: openSUSE should support a "Guest" account with a temporary home directory and restricted permissions (via AppArmor, like not being able to start application with console privileges, looking into home directories as "other" user etc.). An authenticated user has to enable/start this user account. This could be either implemented with a by default existing but inactivated user account (like Windows) or temporary created user account via login manager/session switch applet (like Ubuntu, https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/gdm-guest-login). Use Case: Allow to lend your laptop to someone else for quick email check, surfing or playing music at a party. Discussion: #1: Michael Löffler (michl19) (2009-03-25 17:20:47) This sounds to me more like a corner case. And I always like fate request where even the requester doesn't stand really behind the request (desirable) #2: T. J. Brumfield (enderandrew) (2009-06-13 21:58:26) I think this has some possibilities for "kiosk" use as well, though I think a specialized live-CD is still the best way to go for a kiosk. #3: Stephan Kulow (coolo) (2009-06-24 12:34:31) sounds like a neat community project. #4: John Shand (jshand2008) (2009-07-11 07:35:58) This sounds like a great idea to implement. Would prevent quite a few issues of security blunders. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306282
