You can add more than one user and create groups – click Add Group and indicate who to include. Groups can be given the same access privileges.
Your Mac is a desirable piece of kit, so it’s inevitable someone else will want to use it from time to time – be that a family member, friend or guest. Trouble is, handing over your Mac when it’s logged into your account is a path to potential danger. Another user could access your files, make changes to your settings, download apps and much more.
