Admin. vs. standards acccounts

Hi all, i am new to OS X and I have a few questions: I created one admin. account, for security. I do not use this account:
I have a standard account from which I do wireless internet connection, word processing, etc etc.....well: I understand new apps can only be installed with admin. privileges or entering admin info:
BUT: microsoft office test drive: how come it will only open when I am under my admin acount? I cannot try the test drive with my standard account.: when I want to open a powerpoint or excel document, I have to put it in the users shared folder, and re-login as the admin:
Is this is the only program that does this? If I install other application will this be an issue? Right now the standard account is not blocked by admin (like parental controls).....
Anything else I should know about admin accounts and be careful of?
Thanks in advance

Sometimes applications get installed with the wrong privileges. From your administrator account, select the application and do Get-Info (Cmd-I). Look at the details of ownership and privileges at the bottom of the information window. You may have to click the little triangles to see the details. Normally it should be owned by system or your administrator account, but "Others" should have Read-only access so they can run it, but not modify it. Some poorly designed applications require everybody have read-write access to use them. Some really bad application will only work from an administrator account, or from the account where they are installed.

  • Accounts somehow switched from 'Admin' to 'Standard'

    Hello !

    I have run into this terminology before. I believe that the net info database is a hierarchical database similar to what you would find in a file system. As such the command is referring to the hierarchical database not the file system.
    Here is where you find the net info database:
    root # pwd
    /var/db/netinfo
    root # ls
    local.nidb/ local.nidb.backupjust_incase/
    root #
    You may have a corrupted net info database. You can recreated but it is difficult.
    Rebuild NetInfo database
    I read that you can delete your netinfo database in Mac OS 10.4. The next time that you use your Mac, the database will be recreated. You will have to re-enter all of your users. You may want to pick new userids that do not interfere with your old userids. would back up what you have before trying anything.

  • ARD Admin with Standard Account

    I log in with a Standard Account on my MacBook Pro under Mac OS X 10.6.8, open Apple Remote Desktop Administrator. I have access to most of the commands in the menu bar except those under Reports (All) and Manage (Copy Items, Install Packages, Send UNIX Command, Empty Trash, Set Startup Disk, Rename Computers, Upgrade Client Software, Change Client Settings).
    Is there a way to allow the Standard Account to access all the features of ARD Admin?
    I ask because we have a policy in place where everyone must be using a Standard Account and only the Admin account to authenticate installations, etc. I provide support and use ARD to connect with remote computers.
    Thanks!

    I seem to remember there being a setting in ARD to allow what non administer accounts can do with ARD. But to access these settings you need to first login as an administrator, and set those settings in ARD Prefereces.

  • Admins became Standard Users with Leopard... also Safari doesn't work

    I loaded Leopard on my wife´s iMac 1.83 and it says Safari does not work with that version. When I went to reinstall the OS as recommended in another post, it requires an Administrator to proceed. But my wife and are now both listed as Standard users instead of Admins like we were before in Tiger. Needless to say I am very concerned we are locked out and will lose everything which will be a complete disaster.
    Help please.

    As far as the admin>standard user problem goes, this article should help.

  • Migrating files from Admin to Standard user?

    Hello, I am currently using my macbook with my account as Admin. I read in a magazine that its probably best to run in on a daily basis as a Standard user. So I created a new standard user. So far so good. The problem is that all my files are obviously missing from this new account. How do I transfer my files which currently reside in my admin account to my standard user? Ideally, I'd like to move them, as I presume there is no need to have them twice.
    Also, will this migration affect my programs and if so how do I deal with this ? Are programs always available to all users?
    Last but not least, when using my admin account everytime I have to install a program, it asks me for my password. I cannot remember if this was an option I chose or if this is happens by default (even when logged in as admin). If this is an option, where do I go to change this as I would like to be able to instal progs without being prompted for my password when logged in as admin.
    Thxs,

    In this situation, rather than transferring all of the files, it is usually easiest to create a new "admin" account, then continue to use your existing account after "demoting" it to "standard" by unchecking the "Allow user to administer this computer" checkbox in the "Accounts" pref pane.
    ..."will this migration affect my programs and if so how do I deal with this ? Are programs always available to all users?"...
    All default applications should be accessible to all users. Any installed by you may or may not be accessible to other users depending on how and where they were installed, and continuing to use your existing account largely avoids that sort of problem.
    ..."I would like to be able to instal progs without being prompted for my password when logged in as admin."...
    In principle, the password requirement should be considered a security feature to prevent unauthorized modification of the system. Consider what would happen if everyone started overriding this feature -- it likely wouldn't take long for Macs to become a significant contributor to the phishing e-mail and spam issue that Windows computers are largely responsible for today, that are a nuisance to everyone on the web.
    On the other hand, most user applications should not require modification of system files to install, i.e. they can be installed (via "drag and drop" or otherwise) to a places that the user has "write" privileges to, and should not require authentication. If any unneccessarily request a passord, that is an issue that should be taken up with the developer (which may include Apple, on some occasions).

  • Always launching admin and standard user

    I just installed iTunes 8.1.1.10 in a brand nex Vista Home Premium box. I have one admin user and 5 standard users.
    Every time I launch iTunes from a standard user's account, I get the "you cannot oppen the application iTunes because another user has it open" error in the admin account.
    It appears that iTunes is trying to launch in both places.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    More information would help. Are they not displayed on the login screen or you can't see them in System Preferences?

  • AV not working after changing account from admin to standard

    So I have a user account that was set as administrator. I removed admin privileges from that account and made it into a standard account. A few days later I noticed that I could no longer video chat with anyone (though I could chat via typing). I rebooted my router and computer a million times thinking it must be something else. But then I remembered changing the user account, and as soon as I reset the account as admin video chat immediately started working again.
    This doesn't make any sense to me. I don't see why changing my admin account into a standard one should keep me from video chatting. But if there is a workaround, I would really like to know.

    Hi,
    Have you done anything with Parental Controls with this account ?
    In/as Standard Account in the Mac Firewall is UDP Traffic Blocked ? (System Preferences > Sharing > Firewall tab).
    Parental Controls is the most likely.
    Otherwise I would be stuck as to a suggestion.

  • Wie kann ich fotos in admin zu standard   account übertragen?

    Hallo,
    ich weiss es nicht wie kann ich meine iphotos in anderen account übertragen?

    Marc,
    In Ihrem Administrator-Konto in Ihrem Bilder-Ordner finden Sie eine Datei namens iPhoto Library. Wählen Sie diese Datei und legen Sie sie in Ihrem freigegebenen Ordner. Dann melden Sie sich bei Ihrem Administrator-Konto und in Ihrem Standard-Konto. Kopieren Sie die iPhoto-Bibliothek aus dem freigegebenen Ordner auf Ihrem Standard-Kontos Ordner Bilder.
    Nein, wenn Sie iPhoto starten, halten Sie die Wahltaste gedrückt: Sie werden aufgefordert, ein iPhoto-Library-Datei zu öffnen. Wählen Sie die Datei in Ihrem Standard-Konto, und Sie sollten alle Ihre Fotos erhalten haben.
    Sorry, dass ich mich mit zu benutzen Google dafür Übersetzen - Deutsch ist nicht meine Muttersprache!

  • Why Do I get different result when Run as Admin to Standard?

    Why when Running this script to copy from the "config64" folder (if files exist)(if not copy from "config32")  if works correctly when running  Batch file normally (copies the config64), but using the exact same line when running
    the Batch file as "Run as Administrator" it doesn't work correctly (copies the config32, even though Files do exist config64 folder as they did when I ran it normally and it worked)
    >nul 2>nul dir /a-d "Folder\config64\*" /s && (XCOPY "%~dp0Folder\config64\File64.ini" "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\CompanyFolder\ProductFolder\" /y /d) || (XCOPY "%~dp0Folder\config32\File32.ini" "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\CompanyFolder\ProductFolder\" /y /d)
    UAC is turned off and I'm the administrator (only user on a standalone PC) running windows 8.1.
    Is there a reason or it is a strange bug with Windows 8.1?

    A LOT  more intellectual than
    Frederik Long Who just had no clue himself to not offer an answer. As I've only been looking at this for 2 weeks I think I've come far and you help is much appreciated. Thank you JRV!
    You seem to miss the point. Assuming that your problem is caused by a bug can prevent you from finding the real cause. If you had dismissed the bug theory then you might have done some real debugging, e.g. by breaking up your single-line script (which is
    hard to comprehend) into easily digestible pieces and adding some debugging code like so:
    @echo off
    set Target="%ProgramFiles(x86)%\ComapanyFolder\ProductFolder\"
    dir /a-d "Folder\config64\*" /s 1>c:\Test.log 2>&1
    if %ErrorLevel% EQU 0 (
    XCOPY "%~dp0Folder\config64\File64.ini" %Target% /y /d /s 1>>c:\Test.log 2>>&1
    ) else (
    XCOPY "%~dp0Folder\config32\File32.ini" %Target% /y /d /s 1>>c:\Test.log 2>>&1
    The log file would have told you quickly what is going on. Furthermore - why should I offer my own solution to your problem when JRV gave you a perfect answer straight away?

  • Standard to Admin

    I just got OS X Yosemite, and somehow changed myself from the Admin to Standard when I attempted to set up another Admin account for another user. I cannot Unlock administration it does not accept either user name or passwords...Would it better to reset it to its original factory settings?

    Please take these steps to restore administrator privileges to your account. This somewhat tedious procedure is only necessary if you've confirmed that no administrator account exists on the system.
    If you don't already have a current backup of all your data, you must back up before taking any of the steps below. Ask if you need guidance. You won't need the backup unless something goes wrong—which is always possible.
    Step 1
    Start up in Recovery mode. The OS X Utilities screen will appear.
    Step 2
    Take this step only if you use FileVault 2. Launch Disk Utility, then select the icon of the FileVault startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the  Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main screen.
    Step 3
    Select
              Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. In the window that opens, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window opens. Select your startup volume if not already selected. Pull down the menu labeled
              Select the user account
    and select
              System Administrator (root)
    Follow the prompts to set a password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9. I suggest you write down the password. If you don't write it down and forget it, you'll have to start over from Step 1.
    Select
               ▹ Restart...
    from the menu bar.
    Step 4
    This step, like Step 2, applies only if you use FileVault. Log in as usual, then select
               ▹ Log Out...
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-Q. Don't restart. You'll be returned to the login screen.
    Step 5
    At the login screen, click Other... Enter "root" (without the quotes) in the Name field, and enter the password you set in Step 3 in the Password field. You should now be logged in as root. This is a potentially dangerous condition. Do nothing while logged in as root except as indicated below. You'll be fine as long as you don't deviate from the plan.
    Open the Users & Groups preference pane. Select your usual administrator account in the list of users and check the box marked
              Allow user to administer this computer
    You'll be prompted to restart. Do that and log in as yourself—not as root. Your administrator status should now be restored.
    Step 6 (optional, but recommended)
    Follow the instructions in this support article under the heading "Disable the root user." You must authenticate in Directory Utility as "root" with the password you set in Step 3. Authenticating as another administrator won't work.

  • Logged in as admin, but don't have priviledges..?

    I am trying to register some newly purchased software, but even though I am logged in with an account with admin priviledges, I get the msg that I am not.
    I have 2 accounts on this computer: my regular one and an additional blank one - both with admin rights. With my regular account this new software crashes while trying to open it, and while trying to fix this, I tried it in the blank account. I can open the program, but not register. Then I tried opening up two new accounts to see if I could reproduce the problem in these new (one admin, one standard) accounts, but I can't get the program to open in any of these.
    Tech support of the software says it's not a problem with their software, but a mac admin issue. I've tried changing the admin rights, but that doesn't help either.
    I've tried trashing the preferences, rebooting, and repairing disk permissions.
    Otherwise the computer runs smoothly.

    Hi Sonia,
    On one of the accounts that can't open it, do a Get Info on that installer & report the 3 Privilileges.
    Sounds like you have deeper problems, but might help to mention the software & version.

  • Admin login not accepted when shutting down multiple users

    Hi all
    This one is curious. I have a client with a MacBook Pro, 10.5.7, on which she has an admin account and a standard account for guests. I also have created an admin account so I can run updates without needing her password. Both admin accounts work just fine and authorize correctly for logging in, making system updates and unlocking system preferences.
    However, when she's been using Fast User Switching to go between the admin and standard accounts, and the standard account is still logged in, trying to shut down from the admin account gives the dialog "There are currently logged in users who may lose unsaved changes...". This dialog presents a blank user and password (ie, the admin name is not auto-filled), and the trouble is, entering ANY of the admin names and passwords (which, remember, work fine in other contexts) results in an "Invalid user name or password" window.
    None of the names have non-ASCII characters, and I've tried both short and long versions of the names. I even created a new admin user, and tried that, and it also failed. I have repaired permissions.
    Anyone know what might be going on?
    EDIT: I should have checked the KB first - apparently it's a known issue. I'll try this and report back.

    I have found that sometimes the full administrator name is required, not the short name.
    I don't know why - I thought my short name used to work.

  • Creation of a standard account

    Hi everybody,
    It's my 1st post here. I have a Mac mini Server with Mac OS X Server 10.6.3. created an Administrator account during the set up process and everything run smooth.
    Now I would like to create a plain standard account in order to use the Mac mini Server as a normal machine (I have this particular need). I went in System Preferences > Accounts and just created it without assigning Admin privileges (standard account).
    It happens that when I log in as this standard account I am not able to see the HD thus I see the desktop; all the folders in the Dock show a question mark.
    It seems that this account hasn't the privileges to see its own folder in Users folder.
    Logging in as Administrator account I saw that the account's Users folder has been created properly and, furthermore, that this account has the right privileges.
    Any help or advice about this strange behavior? It is a bug? Did I something wrong?
    Thanks a lot in advance!
    Max

    next thing to check is in the serverAdmin tool what the access settings are for your normal user.
    To begin with, you may allow all access for that user, see if that gives you back the icons and then restrict what you want via the admin user again.
    Note that a normal user on OSXserver would normally have no access to ServerAdmin tool, workgroup manager etc. They should not appear in the dock, or may be when they do, it would show a question mark.

  • Standard or Advanced?

    I currently have 1 G5 running server 10.3.9 doing Web,Mail,AFP,DNS and a Xserv Quad running FMPSA 8.5. I just purchased another Xserv and would like to replace the G5 for everything except Web which I will leave running on the G5 and put it in the DMZ, and add ICal and IChat services for our office of 25.
    My question is should I go with the Standard, Workgroup, or Advanced. I am going to do a clean install since I have read so much negative about upgrading.
    Thanks for your input
    Dan

    Do your self a favor, and start with standard.
    Don't expect the change over to be flawless
    Don't expect all services to work out of the gate, but do work on one at a time.
    You can always use Server Admin with standard to tweak settings that otherwise can't be tweaked with Server Prefs.
    AND, if you start with standard, you can always switch it to Advanced later... (although, I'm not at all sure if that creates or solves more problems).
    While I appreciate Apple's attempt at "Server Lite", I don't understand why the lite version can't just be an easy front end for the more advanced functions..
    Anyway.. just my 2¢'s worth.

  • Standard user cannot install apps

    I have setup a Mac Mini in my office for several people to use, with me as Admin and others as Standard account.  The problem is, when someone wants to install an app, they always get a prompt to input the Admin's username and password.   From my research, I was under the impression that Standard users could install apps, but only for their own account, which is what we want.  But for some reason, it's not working that way.  I did a Google search and following one recommendation, used Disk Utiltiy to repair permissions on the hard drive of both the Admin and Standard User account in question, but with no positive result.  I'm a bit reluctant to just give Admin privileges to one person; then others will may ask for the same privileges.  What should I do?
    Thanks,
    HL

    It sounds like they are trying to install an application in a location that they do not have permissions for (the main /Applications folder, for example).  They will need to use a location inside their own account that they have access to - usually this would be in a different Applications folder that has been created in their own account.  There are a few badly written applications that expect to be installed and run from an administrative account, but fortunately there aren't too many of those.
