If you are installing this unit into a rental property and want to prevent any modifications or have children and want to restrict what games they can play, you may want to change the UI mode of the system. 

Kiosk and Kids mode are restricted modes that will prevent users from accessing the settings menu, or making any other modifications on the system: editing/removing collections and games, changing UI parameters, etc.

Kiosk is a restricted mode that still lets users access all the games, while Kids will only allow users access to games that have been pre-selected as safe for kids.
