Idea #16122: Configure what applications uses Guest user

Written by diegoj the 2 Dec 08 at 01:29. Category: Security. Related project: Nothing/Others. Status: New
Rationale
In many situations, guest user should not have permissions of use of many applications.

For example, while using the PC as public terminal and we only want people use some application like Firefox. Also, we want people visit only some web-pages.

Guest user has not got to use any non-public software in the system, its permissions have to be configurated by local user.
