+<para>&kiosktool; is a &kde; administration tool that offers system administrators an easy way to
+predefine desktop configurations for groups of users, lock down settings or otherwise
+restrict features of the &kde; desktop environment.</para>
+
+<para>&kiosktool; takes advantage of KDE's KIOSK restrictions framework. It is centered around
+<link linkend="profiles">profiles</link>. A profile is a collection of default settings and
+restrictions that can be applied to either individual users or groups of users.</para>
+
+<para>Typical usage of &kiosktool; is to
+<link linkend="profile-create">create a new profile</link>,
+then to <link linkend="profile-setup">set up the profile</link> with the desired
+default settings and restrictions, and finally to activate the profile by
+<link linkend="profile-assign">assigning the profile</link> to one or more users.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+When using &kiosktool; in combination with older versions of &kde; (KDE 3.2 or older)
+some <link linkend="extra-steps">additional steps</link> need to be taken in order
+to properly activate the profiles.
