In an example implementation according to aspects of the present disclosure, a method may include receiving, at a computing device, an attempt to authenticate a user via an authentication event and, upon validating the authentication event used, determining which authentication profile to initiate for the user to use the computing device. As an example, the computing device then initiates the determined authentication profile to launch a customized set of programs on the computing device for the user.

Authentication profiles for users

Example implementations relate to operating system events of a kiosk device. For example, a computing device may include a processor. The processor monitors an operating system of the computing device, where the computing device is to operate as a kiosk device to execute a specific application while restricting access to other applications. The processor identifies an operating system event generated by the operating system and determines, based on a notification restriction list, whether the operating system event is to be restricted. A notification associated with the operating system event is restricted when the operating system even is determined to be restricted and is displayed on a graphical user interface when the operating system event is determined to be unrestricted.
