Multiple User Accounts - Sony Tablet Z Xperia SGP321 User Manual

Google™ account
Having a Google™ account is key to using a range of applications and services with
your Android™ device. You need a Google™ account, for example, to use the
Gmail™ application in your device, to chat with friends using Hangouts™, and to
synchronise the calendar application on your device with your Google Calendar™.
You also need a Google™ account to download applications and games, music,
movies and books from Google Play™.
®
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.
Facebook™ account
Facebook™ is a social networking service that connects you with friends, family and
colleagues around the world. Set up Facebook to work on your device so that you
can stay in touch from anywhere.

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.

To switch users
