Standard Accounts
Standard accounts are unable to make any system-wide changes and cannot administer other
accounts; however, they still retain control of their own account and can install software for their
use only. These accounts can be limited even further with the use of Parental Controls, as discussed
in detail in the section ???Parental Controls Need-to-Knows??? later in this chapter. Standard accounts
are great for children, for anyone completely new to computers, or for an office environment in
which the IT administrator wants to maintain control of the computers and their content. If you
aren??™t quite confident enough in your mastery of the Mac, you might want to create a standard
account for yourself and use it to do your daily work, and log into your admin account only when
necessary to install an application for use by all accounts or to change a system-wide setting.
Managed with Parental Controls Accounts
You have the power, through Parental Controls, to control the content that your children can
access on the Internet and the applications they can use on your Mac.
