Customizing your level of restrictions by setting user names and groups

To do this, click on Settings then click on Users and Groups.
To facilitate the administration, Chronager allows you to unite users into groups and customize settings for a whole group. There is no need to customize every user's settings.

The Chronager program identifies a user by the same login name the user enters when he/she logs in to Windows (windows login name or logon). If you do not add a new login to the user list of Chronager, the program will add it automatically to the 'Guests' group.

Chronager software contains the following built-in users groups:

Administrators: Built-in account for administering the Chronager.
Guests: Built-in account for guest access to the Internet. Please note that all unregistered users will be added to this group automatically.
Users: Built-in account for restricted users.

You should click on New Group to create a new users' group. After that you should add users to the selected users' group. You are able to customize Chronager settings for a whole group. If you need to set up different levels of restrictions for some users, you should create another group for these users.
