Access Boss

The first thing you need to know about the FSPro Labs-developed application Access Boss is what it is and what it can do for you, to be more precise, what sort of functionality it has to offer. I will try to provide you with a brief and to the point explanation.
Here goes: Access Boss is an access management and time control tool for Windows that lets you specify when a specified group of users is allowed to log on and use a local or network computer.

The functionality Access Boss has to offer can prove to be useful to:

Parents – it allows parents to control and limit access to computer for their children. The parents can set it up so their children can use the computer only during certain times of the day, like between 6 and 8PM. Or they can set it up so their children can only use the computer for a limited amount of time.
Business owners – the application allows business owners to limit user logon time to the work hours only. This way the business owner can ensure an employee will not logon and use the computer at inappropriate hours.

To better put things in perspective, here are Access Boss’ main features:
- Manage when the user can or cannot logon and use the computer.
- Manage for how long the user can use the computer. When the time is up, Access Boss can automatically end the user’s session. The user will get a notification when the time he is allowed to use the computer is almost up.
- Access Boss User Notifier displays how much time the user has left. The Access Boss User Notifier module sits in the system tray.
- Set security restrictions for each user.
- Records user statistics.
- Password protected program access to ensure time restrictions can not be overridden or bypassed.
- Remote workstation administering.
