HOW TO SET UP MULTIPLE USERS ON A MAC

Hello , youtube , welcome to the Pinnacle .

And in today's video , I'll show you how to set up multiple users on your Mac .

Uh OK .

So in order to do that , we have to get to system preferences .

And if you look at , look at your dock right over here , you have system preferences .

So you can click , click either here or on the upper left hand corner right there , system preferences .

OK ?

So click and it will show up and on the lower left right there , uh users and groups , single click and here you go , users and groups .

So as you can see , there's me here , Zach .

Uh I am the admin because I set it up when I got the Mac .

Remember uh when you set up uh the , the user , the first time you got the Mac , it will be set up as an admin .

OK ?

So there you go , an admin and the other user is the guest user .

You cannot delete them .

I'll show that to you .

But uh here we got the primary two and uh now I'm gonna create another one .

So let's click here and my Mac is password protected .

So I have to uh punch in the password in order to uh make any changes .

There you go .

It's open .

So here I have Zach , the admin and guest user , which is off .

If you wanna allow guest uh users to log into this computer , then just click this .

Well , I mean uh check this over here and it will be a guest can log in , but once they log out all their files are deleted and everything it's just mentioned right here .

So I don't wanna do that .

I want to create a new user .

So here you are underneath log login options here .

Add a user account , click and you have a standard .

OK .

So new account .

What kind of account you want ?

You want a standard that mean managed with parental controls , sharing only group .

So today we're just gonna talk about a administrator and uh standard .

OK .

So an um an administrator is a , is an account that can add and manage other users uh and install , install apps , change settings .

Uh and things like that .

Uh One Mac can have multiple administrator .

I'll show that to you but a standard user is just uh a user that can uh that's set up by the administrator but can uh but it also can install apps and change settings for his or her own uh use .

But uh but uh standard user cannot add other users or change it other user settings .

OK ?

So let's uh create a standard uh , user here , full name .

I'm just gonna use , uh , what am I gonna use ?

Uh , this a or something account name is password .

I just punch it in password and , uh , if you wanted to use it otherwise .

No , so just enter , create user and just wait a bit .

I go to here , uh , and you wanna change the picture and stuff , uh , the , and change it to a zebra .

Maybe there you go , reset password .

You can reset your password by entering uh uh Well , I mean , it's really , you don't even need to do anything .

Just new password , verify .

That's it .

So if you wanna upgrade this user to an administrator , just uh check this over here .

Allow user to administrate .

This computer is now admit .

So there's Coy and there's Zach .

So there's a two administrator for , for this Mac and even if you want to enable parental controls just uh check this and uh you can enable it or you can cancel it .

So I'll just cancel it .

So let's talk about deleting this , this account .

Ok .

I don't want it anymore .

Uh Right here underneath login options , delete this uh select the user account , just click and there you have some options here .

So save the home folder in a disco image .

Don't change the home folder .

And the other one is delete the home folder .

So I'm just going to uh delete the home folder .

Ok ?

And erase the folder securely .

So and then uh I check out delete user here and it's gone and uh go back to the single thing here , Zach and the guest user .

And that's basically it .
