The user who sets up the device for the first time becomes the owner of the device. Only
the owner can manage the accounts of other users. Apart from the owner account, there
are two different types of accounts:
•
Regular User: This account type is suitable for someone who regularly uses your device.
•
Guest User: Enable the guest account option for someone who just wants to use your
device temporarily.
Some features are only available to the owner. For example, only the owner can allow
downloads from sources other than Google Play™.
