<desc>Prevent the user from logging out and from switching a user.</desc>
</info>
<title>Disable user logout and user switching</title>
<p>Preventing the user from logging out is useful for special kind of GNOME
deployments (unmanned kiosks, public internet access terminals, and so on).</p>
<note style="important">
<p>Users can evade the logout lockdown by switching to a different user. That
is the reason why it is recommended to also disable <em>user switching</em>
when configuring the system.</p>
</note>
