This is just a concept. I want to recommend using BOINC on company phones (I don't know if it will work). The company obviously has an IT department (where I work), but many people often have only “basic” knowledge of computers or smartphones.

I thought it would be easier for people to create an “administrator” account that would set up all the data in BOINC, and users would have one account that would join all projects automatically.

In theory, this is how it works (on Science United), but here there is no separation of accounts of this type. So if I gave someone an account, they could log in and, for example, change the BOINC configuration.

I wonder if anyone knows how to solve this problem. I even thought about a Proxy project, where people would authorize themselves without an account to my server, and it would forward them “as me.” But I don't know if I would be able to write it :)

PS. Why are there so few projects on Android?!
