Hello,
Alright now that the hardware config seems to be good I'm mucking with
the software config. Namely user accounts/groups and access rights.
It's an elementary school, k-7, with around 20-25 students per class.
How do others set things up? I would think the best thing to do would be
to create a separate account for each student, and then slot the
students into groups by grade. That way each student has their own
desktop, and I can control program access and such across an entire
grade easily, right? Or more easily dump a set of files onto each
student in <x> grade's desktop for a lesson?
So how would I do this? Doing it manually via the user manager seems
like a nightmare... Is there another way?
Also... How do I manage the menus? To change what each grade sees in
their menu. And how do I restrict access to certain programs? For
example, no student should be able to use irc. Or maybe only grades 5-7
(and teachers) are allowed to use office programs (just an example).
Am I asking for too much? There are bits about user accounts in the
documentation but I'm still unclear about the above.
Thanks,
Matt
