Restricting Access to the HP Classroom Manager Tutor Application

HP Classroom Manager is a powerful classroom management tool designed specially with the teacher in mind. To avoid misuse, it is
recommended that use of the HP Classroom Manager Tutor console is restricted to designated users. HP recommends using HP MultiSeat
Server’s built in security feature AppLocker to deny access to a selected group of users.
