Is it possible to limit a Phindows session only be able to monitor? I do
not want the Phindows user to be able to interact with the Photon session
at all, merely observe. Thanks.

Disable PDM, hide PWM’s task bar, disable Menu (Alt-Enter) etc. and allow
user to run only your specified applications.

But the Phindows user would still be able to control the “specified”
application correct ? (I suppose you could create an application that
doesn’t process any input, and tie it to a user account used only by the
Phindows session, but I don’t think that’s what Ross was asking -
although perhaps this is what he needs).
I haven’t used Phindows much, but I think it should have a switch that
disables Phindows from sending events (I don’t know if it does or not).
Somebody who has Phindows should be able to check the docs (of course as
far as security is concerned there is nothing to stop the Phindows user
from turning a switch back on - in which case the account method is
superior).

As far as i understand it’s not possible, at least i couldn’t fine any
switches not for phindows not for phrelay.

IMHO better way is just write a little photon application which creates new
region between input and applications and catches all keyboard and mouse
events 
Sure it should be started with target application for example from
from /etc/config/phrelay.
