Abstract

The present invention provides a method and apparatus for distributed administration of thin client architecture. In one embodiment of the present invention, administrative tasks are accomplished by multiple administrators. In one embodiment, the number of administrative tasks assigned to an administrator is approximately uniform throughout the computer system. In this embodiment, creation of multiple user accounts is accomplished by assigning each administrator a roughly equal number of user accounts to create. Workgroup administration is accomplished similarly. In one embodiment, students are users and teachers are administrators.
