User Accounts - Huawei MATE 9 Use Manual

User accounts

About user accounts
Create multiple user accounts to prevent others from viewing your confidential information, or to
keep your work and personal life separate.
There are three different user types:
Owner: Only the owner can log in to this account. As the owner, you can control all user
l
permissions. For example, you can add or delete users and guests, or authorize other users to
use calling and messaging services.
Sub-user: Suitable for close family and friends. Sub-users can use most features, apart from
l
those that may affect the owner, such as restoring factory settings and enabling do not disturb
mode.
Guest: Guests only have limited access to your phone's features. For example, guests cannot
l
use messaging services or install applications from unknown sources.
