Re: KDE - How to disable the Switch User and Lock in Leave Menu ?
Hi, I have got it to work with the help from KDE enterprise developer! First, the relevant file should be whatever kdeglobals file the command "kde4-config --path config" lists. Second, need to set the config to: switch_user=false *as well as* action/switch_user=false It is a bug in the underlying code, one of the many things that got fixed properly when they redid everything in Plasma5. It's much improved in this area. In my case, what I did was: 1. "*kde4-config --path config*" returns: ~/home/zaiwen/.kde/share/config/:/etc/kde/:/usr/share/kde-settings/kde-profile/default/share/config/:/usr/share/config/ 2. Go through all the folders and find two kdeglobals files: ~/home/zaiwen/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals /usr/share/kde-settings/kde-profile/default/share/config/kdeglobals 3. Update *~/home/zaiwen/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals* with: [KDE Action Restrictions] *action/switch_user=false** **switch_user=false* action/start_new_session=false start_new_session=false action/lock_screen=false lock_screen=false 4. Update */usr/share/kde-settings/kde-profile/default/share/config/kdeglobals*. In this file, it contains one line which doesn't allow users to change KDE Action. Remove this line: *[KDE Action Restrictions][$i]* Now when I login, "Switch User" and "Lock" are removed from the Leave menu! Thanks a lot!

Re: KDE - How to disable the Switch User and Lock in Leave Menu ?
Hi Kevin, Thank you very much for the reply. I tried several files (kdeglobals, ksmserverrc, plasma-desktoprc, plasma-desktop-appletsrc) with two formats, but none is working. [KDE Action Restrictions][$i] action/switch_user=false action/start_new_session=false [KDE Action Restrictions] lock_session=false switch_user=false I will ask at the KDE Enterprise mailing list. || Thanks, Zaiwen On 03/12/18 05:05, Kevin Krammer wrote: Hi, On Freitag, 9.

KDE - How to disable the Switch User and Lock in Leave Menu ?
Hi, I am using KDE 4.10. I would like to find out how to disable the Switch User and Lock in Leave Menu. I don't want to disable Switch User and Lock button in the Leave Menu at system level. Instead, I would like to do it at user level. That is, I would like to configure a special user's .kde/share/config file and when this special user logins, he will not see the Switch User and Lock button in the Leave Menu. I tried to put below contents in .kde/share/config/kdeglobals of intended user. [KDE Action Restrictions] lock_session=false switch_user=false Then I restart the session and check again, but it doesn't work. Please advise how to do this in KDE? Thanks, Zaiwen
