Open-source multi-user to include parental control features

Hello everyone,

as already mentioned in this thread:

it might be possible to implement or individually configure the following features for different users via multi-user mode:

  • Allow/prevent installation of apps (native and Android) in the store
  • Time-limited access to some apps (native and Android) each day
  • Blocking of some apps (like the store)
  • Limiting data on Wi-Fi each day
  • Limiting data each day
  • Permanent access to e.g. telephony, contacts

Maybe I have forgotten a few things, so please feel free to add them here.

I also suggested the idea, and you really bring it to the point. But somebody brought forward an inconvenient, which is that with the MDM-feature you don’t have AAS. Maybe then it should be applied on another level, such that it would still be able to use AAS. Or maybe then we need 2 diiferent funtions a SFOS parent control and an Android one. Really looking forward for the OS to mature. My Smartwatch is also waiting to connect to my Xperia 10 II :slight_smile:

I don’t quite get what exactly is your Feature Request?

There this feature Shared mobile devices | Jolla Blog where you can create various user under:

  • Settings
  • SystemUsers

And what I understood is that he would like to see an Add a child user with various parameters.

Sorry yes, i used the wrong term. I mean multi user and as @pherjung said with a user for kids :slight_smile:

And i meant this restriction:
"Additional users do not currently have rights to open Android Apps, install new ones, or remove old ones.“
