# Introduction

The ThinLinc Desktop Customizer (TLDC) is a combination of a web-based configuration tool, and an activation command to be run during session startup. This enables the administrator to configure which menu entries should be made available for specific users, and which icons should be placed on the desktop. Each user’s desktop configuration is determined based on parameters such as Linux group membership, username, and ThinLinc profile. Arbitrary shell commands can also be used to determine which configuration to apply.
