The Users feature allows you to save collections of settings for specific users. When multiple users use the same device, you can sign out one user and select another user. For example, an evaluator may create a user for an adult with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) or a child using eye tracking. The Sign in page allows you to create users, switch between users, delete users, and exit the application.
