How do i change a managed user to an administrator on mavericks?

I thought that I had two users that were both administrators on a MBP.
But one of them is a "Managed" user and if I'm signed is as the administrator, I'm not able to change the "Managed" user to an "Administrator"
I don't see "Managed" as a type of user when creating users.
I'm obviously, confused.
Help appreciated....

I looked into this a little more carefully.  It's not the Guest account.  It clearly indicates "Managed".
Searching for more information, this is something related to Parental Control, but I can't seem to get this account to take on the characteristics of either an administrator or user role.

  • How do I change a managed user account to a non-managed account?

    I had a Time Machine back up of a user account that was managed by an IT group at the last company I worked for. I am no longer employed by that company and I used Migration Assistant to import my Time Machine backed up user account to a new Mac. Now I have all sorts of issues with permissions (I can't open VLC because I can't run it as root, I can't run Steam, I can't open iTunes). I've already repaired permissions using Disk Utility and I restarted in Recovery mode and did the "resetpassword" command in Terminal and reset Home folder permissions. No luck. Any ideas?

  • How do I change the itunes user name on my iphone?

    How do I change the itunes user name on my iphone? When I attempt to purchase an app or update the existing ones, the previous owner of this iphone has their information displayed and asks for the password as their user name is automatically prompted?

    The apps are tied to the account from which they were purchased.  If the apps were purchased from the previous owners account, then they would have to be updated from that account.  you should not have these apps anyway.  You need to buy your own.
    Read the manual.  it will tell you how to sign into your account to buy apps.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Yes you can use one iCloud account between multiple devices.

  • How i can change to standard user, an admin user

    Hi,
    How I can change to standard user an admin user, if the check box can not be unchecked.
    I have opened the lock to allow for future changes.
    I have more than one admin user.
    As root user, I can't do it.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    I have, but looks the same, unable to change.
    I finally decided to create a new standard user and delete this.
    Thanks for the support.

  • Change a managed user to a local user

    10.4.11 on client and server.
    What is the least hassle, almost painless way to change a managed user into a local, unmanaged user?
    Thanks,
    b.

    Yes. Go to System Preferences->Users & Groups->select his account, make it an admin one, log into it, and then repeat, deleting your account. Do note that to do this correctly, you should go through the steps outlined in What to do before selling or giving away your Mac - Apple Support. Also, it's illegal to pass on any OS X upgrade you installed via the App Store. Since it's tied to your AppleID, your grandson won't be able to do any updates, unless you foolishly give him your AppleID credentials—never recommended.

  • How do I convert a standard user to an administrator if i have no other admins on the computer, re-bootimg NOT an option,  please help!!!!!!

    how do I convert a standard user to an administrator if i have no other admins on the computer, re-bootimg NOT an option,  please help!!!!!! 

    Please take these steps to restore administrator privileges to your account. This somewhat tedious procedure is only necessary if you've confirmed that no adminstrator 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 a possibility.
    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.

  • How can I change my login user name to my current new email

    I need to change mu iCloud user name from my old email to me new one but it won't let me because it is the same as my rescue email address. How do I get around this if it is the only email address I have?

    Create another non-Apple email address to use and either use it as your new primary email address, or change the rescue address to the new address and then use the current rescue address as your new primary address.

  • Change Request Management users and their profiles

    Hello!
    I would like know which users are useful for the usage of change request management functionality within SAP Solution Manager and which profiles should they have?
    Users: Requester, Service Desk Empl., Change manager, Change advisory board(?), Developer, Tester, IT Operator, Administrator(?)
    Profiles: SAP_SOCM_REQUESTER, SAP_CM_DEVELOPER_COMP, SAP_CM_CHANGE_MANAGER_COMP, SAP_CM_TESTER_COMP, SAP_CM_PRODUCTIONMANAGER_COMP, SAP_CM_ADMINISTRATOR_COMP,
    SAP_CM_OPERATOR_COMP

    <b>- you are not authorized to perform the activity selected last
    - No maintenance cycle is open for the current system</b>

  • How do I change concurrently connected users?

    One of the first questions dbassist asks for a custom, hybrid database (others too?) is the number of concurrently connected users.
    Question: How is that number used?
    Question: How do I change that number?
    Thanks,
    Jerry

    I don't think that the information is used directly. I suspect it's used to calculate a reasonable size for the SGA, etc.
    This means that you can't directly change it, but by tweaking the settings in init.ora you can get the same effect.

  • Cant restore after installing updates how do I change the home user/account

    I installed 3 updates, opps, this morning, and when I restarted the computer it had reverted back to old setting from 2004. I purchased the computer from a friend, and had worked hard to remove his stuff, now my settings mail etc are gone and the old stuff is back. How do I restore the computer to what it was before the updates took it all off? also how do I change the home from his back to ours? sorry, I am new at this and very very frustrated with the mac so far.

    Changing the home folder name caused the problems, not the updates. The problems won't show up until you restart, which, in your case, was just
    after the updates. See:
    <http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107854>
    <http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106824>
    When you get a used computer, it is safest to erase the disk (with zeroing option), then reinstall OSX, update it, and get the latest versions of all the software you need. You should also run Extended Tests from the Apple Hardware Test disc to be sure there are no hardware problems.
