Status Draft

Multiple user accounts

Your device supports multiple user accounts so that different users can log in

separately to the device and use it. Multiple user accounts work well in situations

where you share the same device with other people or lend your device to someone

to use for a while. The user who sets up the device for the ﬁrst time becomes the

owner of the device. Only the owner can manage the accounts of other users. Apart

from the owner account, there are two different types of accounts:

•

Regular User: This account type is suitable for someone who regularly uses your

device.

•

Guest User: Enable the guest account option for someone who just wants to use your

device temporarily.

Some features are only available to the owner. For example, only the owner can allow

downloads from sources other than Google Play™.
