Lesson 9. Configuring and Managing User ... > Applying Parental Controls to User A...

Applying Parental Controls to User Accounts

Parental Controls enable you to limit the access a user has to various areas of Mac OS X Lion and to certain functionality. Although the name of the feature implies it is useful for parents, you can use it for anyone who might benefit from having a simpler user interface and who would benefit from having fewer options. To apply Parental Controls to a user account, use one of the following options:

  • When you create a new user account, select Managed with Parental Controls on the New Account pop-up menu.

  • Select a user, check the Enable parental controls check box, and click Open Parental Controls.

  • Open the Parental Controls pane of the System Preferences application and select the user for whom you want to limit access. (Only Standard or Managed with Parental Controls users appear on this pane.)
