Section 3- Managing Users
A feature of the Macintosh OS X is the ability to set up different users with unique settings and accessibility for each user. This is done in the Accounts section of System Preferences. If you have administrator status you are able to edit, add and remove users.
From the Apple menu choose System Preferences. In the System Preferences dialog box click on Accounts. The Accounts dialog box will appear. Select user names on the left side and change their settings as desired. To delete an account, select it and click the minus button (-) in the bottom left.
To add an account, click the plus (+) button and the new account window will appear:
Account Types:
Administrator- Able to do everything.
Standard- Not able to install software or change some system preferences.
Managed with Parental Controls- Has several options for limiting what the user can do on the computer.
Sharing- Used for those who need to log into the computer over a network.
