Any unintended consequences to separate admin & user accounts?
Hi all,
I work on a single-user system, but I have wondered if there were any security advantages to having a separate admin and user accounts. I found an unrelated advantage - Parental Controls. Lacking self-discipline, I find myself working too late at night. Setting up Parental Controls might help me get more sleep, but this requires a separate admin account. I would need to create a separate account with admin privileges, then remove those privileges from my existing user account. Are there any unintended consequences to having one's user account not have administrator's capabilities? I do software development, but so far that is all in the user space, ie. application vs. drivers. Any unintended consequences to setting up Parental Controls on my user account?
Thanks,
Scott
You need at least one Admin account on the machine.
There is a security advantage running most tasks as "general user" on another account as the Applications and other folders/system can't be modified unless the Admin password is used. (in General user)
I run as General all the time, there is a slight hassle with installing programs into the Applications folder or moving things around in there, but it's worth it for the extra security and I don't do it too often.
Also Software Update won't run automatically neither. But it's best to wait for the others to go first sometimes and then proceed carefully.
However I don't know the effects with software development, your might be doing it in Admin space now and have no issue, but once you got to General you'll have to enter your password more often.
Try it and see how it goes, you can always go back to Admin.
Create another Admin account, log into it, change your Admin Account to General User and log out and into it.

Is there any way to prevent non-admin user accounts to receive software update prompts?
I am the admin account user on our MacBook Pro, and there is one standard user account on it as well. Generally we are both logged on so we can quickly switch between user accounts and 'spin the desktop'.
For some reason, all the software update notifications seem to be received when the standard user account is the active one.
I know that the standard user cannot actually update without my account password and my Apple ID, but a) The notifications confuse the non-admin user, and she gets flustered, and b) Even if she manages to cancel them from the notification area, she then has to remember to tell me verbally that she had had one.
Is there any way to stop her receiving the update notifications altogether?
Running OS X 10.8.2 on MacBook Pro.
Thanks in advance.You should be able to do this by unchecking the software update service in the system preferences to prevent the system from running the check as the "_softwareupate" user and passing it to the notification service that broadcasts to all user accounts. Then you can check for the software update in an admin account using the following Terminal line:
/System/Library/CoreServices/Software Update.app/Contents/Resources/SoftwareUpdateCheck -Check YES
This line can be scripted via Terminal services to run on a schedule (ie, every few hours), and if there are found updates it will launch the App Store for that account and present them. Granted this approach circumvents the notification service, but should work. To try this, open TextEdit on your computer and in a new document choose "Make Plain Text" from the Format menu.
Then copy and paste the following text into the new document:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Label</key>
<string>local.softwareupdatecheck</string>
<key>ProgramArguments</key>
<array>
<string>/System/Library/CoreServices/Software Update.app/Contents/Resources/SoftwareUpdateCheck</string>
<string>-Check</string>
<string>YES</string>
</array>
<key>StartInterval</key>
<integer>21600</integer>
</dict>
</plist>
When done, save the document to your desktop as "softwareupdatecheck.plist" or anything as long as it ends with ".plist." Then get information on the file in the Finder to ensure its name ends with plist and not anything else like "plist.txt" (rename it accordingly in the Info window's "Name & Extension" section.
With the file name appropriate, hold the Option key and choose the "Library" option in the Finder's "Go" menu. Then locate the folder called "Launch Agents" in the library and drag the text file to this folder. Then log out and log back into your account.
This text file is a launch agent script that instructs the system to run the program arguments every 21600 seconds (6 hours) whenever the user is logged in. The program arguments here are simply those to check for software updates for the system. You can change this time interval to be any number of seconds you would like, but there are other options to use besides the "StartInterval" key for scheduling the task. This approach simply has it repeat every number of seconds, but you can use other options to have it only run on specific hours or days, or only have it run once when you log in, etc.
If this works for you, then if you'd like to explore these other options write back here and we can go over them for you. -
Safari problem & how do I do admin user account fix
Using Safari 1.3.2, QT 6.5.2, OSX.3.9 on Mac G4. I have not chosen to upgrade to QT 7 or Tiger because of other apps on this machine.
Safari crashes when I try to empty cache. Problem started after upgrade to above and installing flip4mac. - not sure which caused the problem.
I've already thrown out the suggested things from Safari prefs, plist, cache files from prefs, etc. I also trashed all of the fllip4mac pieces. Didn't fix the problem.
The only solution has been to log in as a different user. So, I guess I have to fix or delete and re-do the problem user account, which is my main admin. user account. I see that the dialogue box says I can save the user folder items into a "deleted user" folder.
Before taking this step, I want to know what happens then? Do I just drag the items back into the new admin. account? I would like some info before I take this step - don't want any regrets. If I can and do drag stuff back, any chance it would bring the problem with it? Will I get all my setting back? How about a step x step on setting up as new admin.?

I can't help with a step by step - but did you simply trash the f4m files or run the uninstaller.pkg ??
Below is the list of commands that the uninstaller uses to remove/reset everything that was changed when f4m was installed. Possibly you didn't locate all these files?.

How do I maintain a single iTunes library for two separate iMac user accounts?
How do I maintain a single iTunes library for two separate iMac user accounts?...without having to manually do something every download?
Pardon me, I am brand new at using an iMac. I understand the concept but I don't know exactly how to "move" the library. I found a shared folder under users on the hard drive. If I move it, won't I have to redirect each iTunes user to the new shared location?
If I point iTunes to anything other than the music folder under that user name, it shows as a "shared library". Preferences still shows it as that users library, regardless of where the advanced gear button says it is pointing to.
Am I asking for too much to have each user control the exact same music files, apps and playlists? I just want the two different itunes sessions to mirror each other without any frequent updating or copying.
We use the same id for itunes music and apps so we could just sync all devices under one iMac user id and not use it under hers. -

So... I have amassed loads of documents, videos, music, photos, etc. onto my MacBook Pro all under the admin user account I set up for myself. I am the only one who uses the MacBook. I now work virtually and am online at different free wifi spots, and I want to access all of my stuff under a non-admin user account for security reasons.
I attempted to uncheck the "allow this user to administer this computer" box under my admin user account, but it is greyed out and I cannot.
Is there an easier way to fix this than backing up all of my stuff and then moving it to a non-admin account?There is only one solution: create a new Standard user account and set it as your auto login account, if you use that feature.
Using what you describe is mostly a false sense of security. Were someone to hack into the computer they could hack into the standard account, so you would not wish to keep any sensitive data in that account. Other things to consider:
Turn on your Firewall in Security & Privacy preference panel.
Use software to mask your online presence such as ProxyCap 2.03, MacProxy, Proxifier, or Hotspot Shield. -
How to replace corrupt Admin user account (OS 10.2.8)?
My OS 10.2.8 Admin user account has somehow become corrupted, and is causing problems opening my Photoshop CS2 properly.
I have set a new user account and the problems with Photoshop CS2 are gone.
So therefore, I would like to set up a new user "Admin" acccount WITHOUT LOSING any of my functioning software attached to the current account (as Photoshop CS2 is all that seems to be wrong with
the current user account).
I'm pretty sure that I would just go into System Preferences and set up a new account user (me), and then delete the old Admin account.
Would this affect any of my existing installed software, as I really don't want to have to go installing about 20 GB of software again!
Any suggestions would be welcome ...... Thanks.
-DavidOpen the Accounts pane of System Preferences and create a new administrator account; from here, log in with that account. If all your software works properly in this account, it is safe to delete the original one. If you are asked which account you want to reassign items to, pick your current account.

Safari 5 seems to have slowed the OS for my Admin user account
After installing Safari 5 (now 5.0.2), and after a few Safari hangs and force quits, my OS for my Admin user account has become slow. Opening folders and seeing the contents is slow; moving small documents from folder to folder is very slow; cutting and pasting text in a MS Word document sometimes takes two or three tries, as the text highlighting cursor function has slowed. (Interestingly, Safari's basic click and pageload functions seem to work fairly normally, but with the same highlighting and copy/paste slowness that affects all other programs. Also, my mouse pointer moves quickly as per normal.)
However, I created a new user account as a test comparison and found that the new user account is NOT slow. It works perfectly fine.
Any thoughts on what I should do? Is my original Admin account corrupted? Is it possible to simply move my personal files (Word docs, iTunes songs, bookmarks) to the new user account and then delete my original Administrator account?
What should I do? Thanks everyone.Well, it was worth a shot.
How full is your hard drive? Always a good starting point for diagnosing slowdowns.
Sometimes running periodic maintenance scripts helps, because it cleans some caches that a Safari reset won't. The scripts are supposed to run automatically in the wee hours of the morning when most people are computing, but the problem is that they only run if the computer is on and not sleeping. Not too realistic.
This article in an excellent series of "keep the Apple sweet" articles talks about the scripts and how to run them manually:
http://thexlab.com/faqs/maintscripts.html
They are less important in later incarnations of Mac OSX as some o the tasks they do were shifted to start-up, but doing them is worth trying.
Also use Activity Monitor to check for a runaway background process. It's possible that this could affect only one user account. If you've not used Activity Monitor before, make sure you change its "Show" option from the default of "My Processes" to "All Processes" or you might miss some nasty troublemakers. Also click in the "%CPU" column header to sort by processor usage. With no user apps running, (basically an idling computer) no single process should demand more than ~5 percent of the processor. Let AM display for a few minutes while you watch it, as some processes toggle back and forth as they activate.
Running any anti-virus software? Most does more Mac-harm than Mac-good.
Keep us posted!

Admin User Account is Corrupted
Is there a way to fix a corrupted admin user in FCSvr? I know this is a vague question but I have no way of finding out what caused the corruption.
My main admin user account no longer sees all of the assets within FCSvr when I search in the asset browser. I could just create a new user but if there is a way to correct this is would be helpful as I have many users on my system and fixing and existing users would be better than creating new ones.After a little further investigation this is what I've found:
When searching for assets within FCSvr there are 2 users (of 10 or so) seem to get different when using the same search words. I've made sure the "sort by" category is set to "none" when searching so in theory everyone should get the same search results. Two don't.
I checked the StoreD Logs per dredcomm's suggestion and this is what I've found:
KrTrace log pmtranscoder27012.log for pid=27012 started at EST 2011/02/11 11:04:20.610526

Does anyone know how to interpret these logs?

Admin User account deleted by MCXCDeleteAccount at shutdown

This is a real puzzle - there have been a number of related reports recently:

Your log includes:
1/24/11 6:04:14 PM ManagedClient818 -xaDiskDisappeared: removing
external account "alan" with home "/Users/alan" from DSLocal because disk
disappeared.
Is "alan" your regular user account? If so, is it supposed to be local to your HD? (the log report calls it "external account 'alan'")
There have been suggestions in the other threads that the trigger for the inappropriate account destruction by the system might involve the unexpected disconnection of an external USB drive. The situation isn't at all clear, though. -
This issue is difficult to explain, but here it goes...
I have 2 users (desktops) setup on Lion. My primarydesktop is the Admin account and my wife has her own (for her iTunes,mail, etc.). Until just recently, I could switch between users easilyand stuff worked properly. However, lately I switch to my wife's useraccount and everything is jacked up. The icons and dock are both big& blocky and whenever I click on an icon it disfigures thewallpaper. Also, the wallpaper image is also messed up.
Itjust started doing this so not sure what happened or what I can do tofix it. Is it possible to nuke her desktop/user acct and start freshwithout messing up mine? Or do I have to do the entire machine andrestore from Time Machine?
Totally perplexed by this one.
Thanks!
BryanThere is only one solution: create a new Standard user account and set it as your auto login account, if you use that feature.
Using what you describe is mostly a false sense of security. Were someone to hack into the computer they could hack into the standard account, so you would not wish to keep any sensitive data in that account. Other things to consider:
Turn on your Firewall in Security & Privacy preference panel.
Use software to mask your online presence such as ProxyCap 2.03, MacProxy, Proxifier, or Hotspot Shield. -
How can I auto load Safari thru a non-Admin user account
Okay, maybe I don't want to do this - - but can I?
I have my old iMac setup to turn on at 8am. I would like to access it remotely through LogMeIn.com. But I need Safari running for remote access.
I'd prefer to have Safari running in a 'Guest' User Account with no Admin rights (then from LogMeIn.com, switch to my user account and I can enter my password manually).
I know how to auto login to a Guest account, but how do I have that account auto start Safari? Only Administrators can have programs start automatically, right?
I don't want to auto-login (with password if that's even possible) to my main Administrator account.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advanceI use iKey to remap the keys. It has a little more function then youpi key. For many years, I used youpi key before switching to iKey.
In addition, ikey will allow you to run ikey applications when ikey starts.

You might like iKey/youpi key. I have my frequently used applications set to f keys. The same f key starts an application and switches to the application.
Youpi key is free. It works fairly well for me in MAC OS 10.4 although not officially supported. There is a commercial version you can buy, called iKey.

I have the common programs that I use assigned to function keys. I have F4 assigned to Firefox. When I want to start FireFox, I press F4. When I want to switch to firefox, I press F4! Starting & switching to an application in Mac OS are the same thing in Mac OS.
Here is an example of to assign volumn control to a function key.

Here is a solution with XTool. XTool Uses exact screen addresses. So a movement of an icon will cause you trouble.
do shell script "/usr/sbin/system_profiler SPDisplaysDataType | grep 'Resolution'" -- get info
tell the result to set {DisplayWidth, DisplayHeight} to {word 2, word 4} -- get resolution
--move mouse {DisplayWidth div 2, DisplayHeight div 2} -- center mouse
move mouse {670, 13} --sound
click mouse
move mouse {673, 96} --sound level
click mouse
move mouse {555, 282} -- center mouse
click mouse
First, there is the XTools scripting addition, which will give AppleScript the ability to move the mouse.
http://www.lestang.org/osax/XTool/
XTool-2.0-src.dmg.tgz
Installation :
Drag
.osax from insite the image to one of the following locations (create the directory if it does not exist) :
a : ~/Library/ScriptingAdditions/
b : /Library/ScriptingAdditions/
c : /System/Library/ScriptingAdditions/
I have it in directory /System/Library/ScriptingAdditions/
My other two directories do not exit: ~/Library/ScriptingAdditions/ &
/Library/ScriptingAdditions/
. Next, you will need to place a script application into your login items (System Preferences > Accounts > Login Items) that will move the mouse when you log in: -
Can't connect to VPN in Admin User account
I have two users in my MacBook Pro (Late 2011) with 10.8.2.
I can only connect to my VPN only in the second user account instead of the Admin account.
When I try to connect to my VPN in the admin user, it doesn't seem to have any connection between my computer and the VPN.
The Message I got is "The PPTP-VPN" server did not respond. Try reconnecting. If the problem continues, verify your settings and contact your Administrator."Any suggestions ?

27" 2010 iMac randomly crashing on admin user account
This one is a bit of a doozy...
We've had this iMac for a little over a year now and it has been working fine until very recently. After installing the newest version of iMovie on it through the App Store, a very strange thing has been happening. While an application is open (it started with just iMovie but it's constant now with any application) the computer will sort of crash to an extent. The computer still runs and if something is say downloading, it will continue downloading, but I lose control of pretty much everything. The bar at the top of the screen stays on the application no matter where I click (i.e. if it crashes while I'm in iMovie and I click on a finder window, the control panel at the top still reads iMovie). After that I can't switch applications, the window of the one I'm in becomes unusable, and I have to force a restart.
I took this to Apple and they had me reinstall iMovie, and I just reinstalled all of Snow Leopard. Both were unsuccessful. Then I decided to create a second User Account, as a non-admin. It works completely fine, not a glitch in the system. Then I go back to the original/admin and the problem returns immediately.
Can I get some help?Not sure but it may possibly be a problem with Disk Permissions that sometimes go awry. You can View Disk Permissions using Disk Utility. I think to Repair Disk Permissions you need to boot from the Install DVD (boot while holding down the ‘C’ key immediately). Don’t reinstall the operating system but just get to the Install panel that shows you all the menus at the top and select Disk Utility from the Tools menu. Click on First Aid and then View Disk Permissions. You may need to run Repair Disk Permissions two or three times and there will still be messages that look like errors but those can likely be ignored; you’ll see what it repaired.
Hope that helps.
