Multiple User Accounts - Sony Xperia Tablet Z SGP321 User Manual

®
Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync
Synchronise your device with your corporate Microsoft
account. This way, you keep your work email, contacts and calendar events with you
at all times.

Multiple user accounts

Your device supports multiple user accounts so that different users can log in
separately to the device and use it. For example, different users can have different
home screen setups, wallpaper and general settings, as well as separate memory
storage. So they can install their own applications and store files such as music and
photos that only they can access. Multiple user accounts work well in situations
where different family or group members share the same device.
The user who sets up the device for the first time becomes the owner of the device.
The owner is the administrator or primary user. Once you are logged in as the owner,
you can add, change and delete other users via the Settings menu. You can add a
maximum of seven new users. As the owner, your account cannot be deleted.
Some features are only available to the owner. For example, only the owner can access the
external SD card.
Using multiple user accounts
To add a new user
1
Make sure you are logged in as the owner, that is, the user who set up the
device for the first time.
2 Drag the status bar downwards, then tap
3 Find and tap Users > Add user.
4 Tap OK > Set up now. An icon representing the newly added user appears on
the lock screen.
5 Tap the icon representing the newly added user, then unlock the screen.
6
Follow the setup guide instructions to complete the process.
To switch users
1 From the lock screen, tap the icon representing the user that wants to use the
device.
2 If you have set a password for the new account, enter the password to log in. If
you have not set a password, just unlock the screen.
To delete a user from your device
1 Make sure you are logged in as the owner.
2 Drag the status bar downwards, then tap
3 Find and tap Users.
4 Tap beside the name of the user that you want to delete, then tap Delete.
Each secondary user can also delete himself/herself by selecting Users > > Remove user >
Delete under Settings.
The owner account can not be deleted.
Different behaviours for settings
Settings can behave in three different ways when a device has multiple users:
• Some settings can be changed by any user and affect all users, including the owner,
for example, language, WLAN, Airplane mode, NFC and Bluetooth®.
• Some settings affect only the individual user's space, for example, automatic data
syncing, screen lock, various accounts added, and wallpaper.
•
Some settings are visible only to the owner and affect all users, for example, VPN
settings.
