Hi LPS LPS

It’s possible to let your kids (or students) log in to any computer with their own user ID, but only as guest-level users. The way this usually works in a Windows environment is through Active Directory or Azure AD. With those, you can create accounts for each child, and when they sign in on any machine that’s joined to the domain, their profile follows them. That way, they don’t need a local account on every single computer.

About restricting them to guest access: you’ll want to set up Group Policies that limit what those accounts can do.

So short answer: yes, it’s possible, but the “how” depends on whether you’re using a domain setup (recommended for multiple computers) or just standalone PCs. If you go the domain route, you’ll get the roaming login experience you’re asking for, plus centralized control for the admin.

Adding student IDs depends on whether you’re running a domain setup (like Active Directory or Azure AD) or just standalone PCs

If you’re using Active Directory (on-premises):

1. Open Active Directory Users and Computers on your server.
2. Right-click your organizational unit (OU) where you want the accounts stored.
3. Select New - User.
4. Fill in the student’s details (username, password, etc.).
5. Make sure they’re added to the Domain Users group, and not to Administrators.
6. Optionally, put them in a custom “Students” group so you can apply Group Policies to restrict access.

If you’re using Azure AD (cloud-based):

1. Go to the Azure portal.
2. Navigate to Azure Active Directory - Users - New User.
3. Enter the student’s info and assign them a license if needed.
4. Again, keep them in a restricted group so they only get guest-level permissions.

If you’re on standalone PCs (no domain):

1. On each computer, go to Settings - Accounts - Other users.
2. Click Add someone else to this PC.
3. Create a local account for the student.
4. Assign them to the Guests group (Control Panel - Administrative Tools - Computer Management - Local Users and Groups).

On Windows devices, this can be done by giving each child their own standard user account on each PC, and keeping the administrator account separate.

Key points:

1. Create separate user accounts for each child on each computer
   • On each Windows device, open Settings > Accounts.
   • Go to Other users (or Family & other users, depending on version).
   • Add a new user account for each child.
   • Make sure these accounts are standard users, not administrators.
2. Keep administrator access separate
   • Have a dedicated administrator account that only adults use.
   • To change an account type, go to Settings > Accounts > Other users.
   • Select the child’s account, choose Change account type, and set it to Standard user, not Administrator.
   • This ensures children cannot install software or change system-wide settings.
3. Using accounts across multiple PCs
   • To let children sign in with the same identity on multiple Windows 10/11 devices, configure each device with the same type of account (for example, the same work/school account in an organization, or the same Microsoft account in a home setting) and add that account as a user on each device.
   • Each device still needs to have that account added once; after that, the child can sign in on that device with their credentials.
4. Guest-like behavior
   • Instead of the old “Guest” account, use standard user accounts for children. Standard accounts:
     • Have limited permissions.
     • Cannot change system settings for all users.
     • Cannot access other users’ private files.

This setup gives each child their own login on any managed computer while keeping them at a restricted (guest-like) permission level and reserving full control for the administrator account.
