Abstract

There is provided a method for using a multi-user operating system. A user attempts to access the multi-user operating system. The user is prompted to enter a shared credential associated with the multi-user operating system and an individual credential of the user. The entered shared credential and the entered individual credential are verified. Access is granted to the user if both the entered shared credential and the entered individual credential are verified. Commands entered by the user granted the access are tracked via the entered shared credential while the user is using the multi-user operating system. The tracked commands indicate the entered individual credential.
