The user can add their online accounts, such as Google, Facebook, Flickr, ownCloud, and others using the Online Accounts application.

As a system administrator, you can:

disable all online accounts.Disable Command-Line AccessTo disable command-line access for your desktop user, you need to make configuration changes in a number of different contexts. Bear in mind that the following steps do not remove the desktop user's permissions to access a command line, but rather remove the ways that the desktop user could access the command line.
Set the org.gnome.desktop.lockdown.disable-command-line GSettings key, which prevents the user from accessing the terminal or specifying a command line to be executed (the Alt+F2 command prompt).
Prevent users from accessing the Alt+F2 command prompt.
Disable switching to virtual terminals (VTs) with the Ctrl+Alt+function key shortcuts by modifying the X server configuration.
Remove Terminal and all other terminal applications from the Activities overview in GNOME Shell. You will also need to prevent the user from installing a new terminal application.Disable File SavingYou can disable the Save and Save As dialogs. This can be useful if you are giving temporary access to a user or you do not want the user to save files to the computer.
WARNING: This feature will only work in applications which support it! Not all GNOME and third party applications have this feature enabled. These changes will have no effect on applications which do not support this feature.Disable PrintingYou can disable the print dialog from being shown to users. This can be useful if you are giving temporary access to a user or you do not want the user to print to network printers.

For udisks2, the utility for disk management services, the configuration is located at /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.udisks2.policy. This file contains a set of actions and default values, which can be overridden by system administrator.
TIP: The polkit configuration in /etc overrides that shipped by packages in /usr/share.Disable User LogoutPreventing the user from logging out is useful for special kind of GNOME deployments (unmanned kiosks, public internet access terminals, and so on).
IMPORTANT: Users can evade the logout lockdown by switching to a different user. That is the reason why it is recommended to also disable user switching when configuring the system.Disable User SwitchingPreventing the user from logging out is useful for special kind of GNOME deployments (unmanned kiosks, public internet access terminals, and so on).

That is the reason why it is recommended to also disable user switching when configuring the system.Disallow Login Using a FingerprintUsers with a fingerprint scanner can use their fingerprints instead of a password to log in. Fingerprint login needs to be set up by the user before it can be used.
Fingerprint readers are not always reliable, so you may wish to disable login using the reader for security reasons.
Lock Down Enabled ExtensionsIn GNOME Shell, you can prevent the user from enabling or disabling extensions by locking down the org.gnome.shell.enabled-extensions and org.gnome.shell.development-tools keys. This allows you to provide a set of extensions that the user has to use.
Locking down the org.gnome.shell.development-tools key ensures that the user cannot use GNOME Shell’s integrated debugger and inspector tool (Looking Glass) to disable any mandatory extensions.Lock Down Specific SettingsBy using the lockdown mode in dconf, you can prevent users from changing specific settings. Without locking down the system settings, user settings take precedence over the system settings.
To lock down a dconf key or subpath, you will need to create a locks subdirectory in the keyfile directory. The files inside this directory contain a list of keys or subpaths to lock. Just as with the keyfiles, you may add any number of files to this directory.User SettingsDim Screen when User is IdleYou can make the computer screen dim after the computer has been idle (not used) for some period of time.Compose KeyEnabled ExtensionsThe enabled-extensions key specifies the enabled extensions using the extensions’ uuid.SettingsIdle DelayIdle BrightnessRight AltRight AltLeft Win3rd level of Left WinRight Win3rd level of Right WinMenu3rd level of MenuLeft Ctrl3rd level of Left CtrlRight Ctrl3rd level of Right CtrlCaps Lock3rd level of Caps LockThe "< >" key3rd level of the "< >" keyPausePrtScScroll LockEnabled Extensions
