Windows

You can use the System Security Manager to edit the local Windows user named SiteKiosk which is created by SiteKiosk during installation. The System Security Wizard is a separate application that is available in the Start menu after the client is installed.

Note:

The password assigned to the SiteKiosk Windows user is Provisio1996. If you wish to change this password, do not do so using the user administration of Windows, but open the custom settings of the System Security Manager.

By default, the SiteKiosk user is a member of the local Windows user group named user. This group is already equipped with fewer rights than the administrator group. The System Security Manager lets you limit these rights further still to make using SiteKiosk even more secure.

During installation, SiteKiosk will configure the settings of the default SiteKiosk user for safe operation. In most cases, these settings should suffice and not require any additional changes.  If you do need to make changes later on, however, the SiteKiosk System Security Manager will welcome with the following options whose changes will be adopted upon pressing the OK button.

1. Protected

This is the recommended option which will be applied during the installation process if you perform a standard installation. The settings that will be loaded and set for the SiteKiosk user account are the default settings defined by the System Security Manager. For an overview of the settings, select the custom settings.

2. Unprotected

This option loads the standard Windows rights applying to the SiteKiosk user. The SiteKiosk user will then have the same rights as a user belonging to the Windows user group named user. 

This option may be a good choice if you want to log on with your SiteKiosk user without launching SiteKiosk under Windows or if you want to apply user-defined settings in other applications. We recommend that you switch the setting for the SiteKiosk user back to safe.

3. Customize

Lets you specify access rights in detail and change the password for the SiteKiosk user account.

Android

On Android devices, SiteKiosk Online for Android sets itself up as a so-called home screen, which blocks access to the Android system after the client is started.

On Samsung devices, SiteKiosk Online also uses the Knox interface provided by Samsung to further increase security.

Using Knox requires accepting the Samsung Knox privacy policy when SiteKiosk is launched for the first time, an Internet connection is required for this process.
