Thank you for your reply. 1. Is there a relatively simple way to prohibit 'visitor' from removing files/folders from their home directory? Such as .mozilla? etc. Which of course could end up ruining their account. [could a solution be removing 'visitors' write permissions? Hopefully 'visitor' would still be able to write a file to the Shared folder then correct? 2. A while back I read a page on the 'ask ubuntu' website concerning 'prohibiting guest from emptying trash folder and deleting files' There were about 4 steps that semi worked as I recall. 'visitor' was unable to empty trash at the end. Though 'visitor' was still able to enter the file manager and delete files that way. I ended up reverting everything within 'visitors' account back to standard settings. So if I remove the 'write permissions' from 'visitor' leave group alone so 'visitors' permissions would look like this: dr-xrwx--- 29 visitor visitor 4.0K Apr 18 19:22 visitor Any ideas on this matter? Attached to this email is a screenshot of the systems installed users permissions/groups on the computer as of now shown in the bash-terminal.
