Guest LogIn

Hey, I was wondering if it was possible(and if it is, if anyone could kindly make it/show me code) to make a guestlogin on a login system?

This guest would log in with username and password as Guest and have restrictions to what programs they could use, so like they could use a program that says random sentences, but couldn't use the program to dispense food.

This should do, just edit startup and type it in. Comments can be removed if you wish.

-- Code is by ImNutzForCoal for UrASmurf
local gpw = "yourPasswordHere"
local admin = "administratorPasswordHere"
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,1)
print("iNFC | guestLogonOS"
term.setCursorPos(2,1)
print("Welcome Guest!")
term.setCursorPos(2,1)
print("Please enter the password:")
pw = read("*")
if pw == gpw then
print("Welcome")
print("yourMessageHere")
--Add more code.
elseif pw == admin then
print("Administrator Password accepted.")
print("administratorOptions")
end

ofcourse, edit yourPasswordHere to the password you want the guests to use
and administratorPasswordHere to the admin override password.

EDIT: re-read your post, it might not be what you are looking for, I will see if I can make it so that Guest gets access to limited programs, and whatnot.

Well, the key issue here is that to restrict the available programs, you'll either have to dump them somewhere else (eg a hidden computer behind the first one) or essentially write your own OperatingSystem/OSEmulator.
It can be done though, depends how much you are up to coding.
Personally I'd dump all the data onto a hidden computer.

In fact, you could make it so that when an admin logs in, an external computer downloads all the restricted programs to the PC and when a guest logs in, the program deletes all the restricted programs.

Is that enough for you to get started or would you like some sample code?

Er. I really have no idea how I would do any of that.

Noob coder here. Only know how to use like print " and redstone.setOuput. D:

Ok, there are several ways to go about it, some are more complicated than others but the more complicated ones tend to be more accurate/better.
Also it depends on how serious/secure the program needs to be (eg are you using it on a public server or a private server)

The best way I can think of doing it that you'll understand is the turtle method.

You'll have to give me a day or two to get the code done (as well as juggling all the other stuff I have to do) and you will have your program, hopefully with comments.
