When administering local area networks, a special class of tasks is distinguished, where the administered local network has the so-called "public access" workstations (PAWS). The purpose of the article is to analyze and solve practical issues of organizing user processes for public access workstations, the work of which allows to increase the efficiency of information systems in general. The work of such stations is analyzed from the point of view of practical organization of user processes. Scientific novelty. Approaches to the organization of PAWS are analyzed and three main ones are formed. The first (autonomous type) is extremely rarely designed from scratch. Here, usually, the design at the implementation stage is reduced to the choice of a typical hardware and software solution (hardware configuration, type of operating system), which serves as a platform for the operator's workstation software. The second approach is when operators are encouraged to bring their own workstations with them, subject to restrictions that regulate what the user can bring. The third is a "hybrid" approach that combines the first and second approaches. The problems of autonomous type PAWSare analyzed. Different approaches to solving the problems of autonomous type PAWS are presented. The custom approach generates much more problems than it solves. Flash drives very quickly turn into carriers and distributors of malicious software. From the point of view of a system administrator, there are several ways to solve the problem of PAWS: using an LDAP system, installing additional software that performs the functions of both ensuring security and denying access to the settings and resources of the operating system, replacing the operating system. Practical recommendations are given for the transfer of flash drives to the platform with open software. As a conclusion, the article emphasizes the necessity of transferring the PCSD to the platform with open software, given the serious problems with confidentiality, the problem of "broken windows".
