Hi David,
You asked: How do one change the user privilegues for an user on a
mac?
I'd change my user from an admin to standard user. How do I do this?
TK: This is done in the Accounts system Preference. You cannot
change a user from an Administrator to a Standard user unless you
first create another Admin user. There must always be one Admin user
on the computer. Once you have the two users, do the following:
• Interact with the Accounts, Groups and Login Options table.
• Interact with the Other Users table.
• Navigate to the user you wish to modify.
• Bring the mouse to the VO focused item with VO-cmd-f5. (Add the FN
key on a laptop)
• Click on this user by pressing VO-shift-space.
• Stop Interacting with the Other Accounts table.
• Stop Interacting with the Accounts, Groups, and Login Options table.
• Now navigate until you find the item that reads something like
"Allow User to Administer the Computer".
• Uncheck this box.
that should do it.
Later...
