  • Patent number: 11328052
    Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for automatically controlling access and limiting functionality of a computer workstation based on which user is currently logged in. In some implementations, an overwatch application is installed on the workstations to be controlled and monitored. If an authorized, but limited, user logs in, the overwatch application can initiate a lockdown process on the workstation. In some instances, the lockdown process is managed by a dedicated lockdown application, which is initiated or notified from the overwatch application, and which can initiate a lockdown of particular applications, functionality, and allowed interactions on the workstation until the limited user has completed their task and a new user logs in.
