Shell subsystems that have limited access to system information and can only access hardware through other OS services are operating in user mode. In user mode, the operating system restricts access to system resources, such as memory and hardware, to prevent applications from affecting the stability and security of the system. User mode processes must request access to system resources through system calls to the kernel mode, which has elevated privileges.
