By default, when a user installs and registers the laptop package on a laptop client, the user is automatically added as a client owner for the laptop client and has complete access to their data on the laptop.
To prevent access to the laptop data, you can exclude the user (such as an administrator), or a service account as a client owner before installing the laptop package.
You can also use qscripts to exclude users as client owners. For more information, see Qscript: BlacklistUserGroup.

For new installations of the laptop package, the laptop administrator is not assigned as a client owner.
