Cybera Workstation can be configured to automatically start when the current windows user logs in.

It is also possible to configure Cybera Workstation to activate directly when the program is started, blocking the computer screen and forbiding any un authorized usage of the workstation.

These are both recomended options for the default windows user of your cyber café workstations.

User rights policy

Cybera Workstation Configuration Wizard - User rights policy

This option allows or forbids Cybera Server to attempt to lock down the user rights of the currently connected windows user when the workstation connects to it. It is STRONGLY recomended to check this option in a production environment unless you are going to control user rights on the workstations by other means (Microsoft Active Directory for example).

User rights lockdown can only work if you have folowed the guidelines for setting up your computers.
