System Preferences on a Managed Account

Question

I created a log in account for the kids to use.  I turned the parental controls on and made minor restrictions to keep the user from being able to destroy the computer.  However, on that account, I'd like to be able to modify the mouse settings.  But system preferences is not an option under the apple.  How do I, as the administrator, "personalize" the kids' managed account?

Answer 1

Did you set up the account with Simple Finder?
You may not need to restrict things as highly as you did.  A standard non-admin user cannot do anything to wreck global settings, modify other users' stuff, or delete or change anything outside his own files inside his own user account. As long as the kids don't know the password of any admin account there's little to no risk of them breaking anything for anyone else.
