Local account on a phone with 2 user profiles

Beitrag von Xabel »

Hola,

I need to set up a phone with one main user, with an administrator profile, and another user2 with a normal, non-guest profile.
I want to manage both profiles with MPE from a PC. The steps I have taken are:

1 -Initially the main profile works perfectly with its MPE client and its LocalAccount.apk installed and created in this profile.

2 -I create and configure profile2, install the LocalAccount.apk (from GPlay) and create its local account, local2.
I repeat with the MPE client, give it "Grant Appear on top" permission and configure it.

3 -I connect to the PC via USB (USB debugging enabled, of course). Here the problems appear, I am not able to manage from the MPE host the two profiles (alternatively, one and the other), if I can manage one, then I can't manage the other, and vice versa.

Am I doing something wrong, is it a limitation of Android 13, of MPE?
I would appreciate an answer so that I can choose whether to continue with this approach or look for an alternative.

Saludos

It is correct that our program cannot connect to 2 different MPE clients on the cell phone at the same time.
I don't know how that would work?!

Thank you Icke,
a clarification, it is not a simultaneous connection, it is one or the other alternatively.
Regards :)

In my opinion, MPE treats the second user on a cell phone like a second device.
I.e. You have also created 2 users in MPE?
Have you tried manually starting the second client on your phone?

Indeed, I have 2 profiles on the cell phone and 2 Users in MPE host.
It is in this situation that I am not able to control the two profiles on the phone, when I manage one of them and finish, I log out.
If I then open the other user corresponding to the other profile, then MPE does not connect, does not read the local account, does not go well.
I hope I have explained myself better.

In this case, stopping the 1st user on the cell phone is not enough. You will have to manually start the MPE client of the 2nd user on the cell phone!

Thank you Icke, I will leave it at that as I have another alternative to solve my need.
