Abstract: A login shell and file/directory access checking supporting multiple user credentials are provided. The login shell receives user input from a particular user including login information for a plurality of user accounts for that particular user. The login shell authenticates the plurality of user accounts using the login information and retrieves a plurality of user credentials corresponding to the plurality of user accounts. This plurality of user credentials forms a multi-user credential. In response to a request for access to a file, the access rights to the file for the user are verified by verifying the access rights of the multi-user credential.

Abstract: A computer system operates in normal mode where all applications and files are accessible to an authorized user, where an authorized user enters a required log in to access all applications. When a trigger to change the control access from normal mode to selective lock mode is detected, access to the applications and files is blocked and the content within the user interface is cleared to initiate the selective lock mode. Next, content is added to the user interface including a folder with only a selection of the applications each accessible through a separate selectable link, where the selectable links are designated in the particular folder by an authorized user during normal mode. During selective lock mode, any user may only select to open one of the selection of applications by selecting a displayed selectable link for the application.
