How to switch account type and take Family Rules into use on macOS - F-Secure Community
<main> <article class="userContent"> <p> </p>How to switch account type and take Family Rules into use on macOS <p>This article applies to SAFE for macOS from the 17.5 release. </p> <p>To set up and use the full set of Family Rules settings (devise use limits, bedtime, and content filtering), a child profile cannot have administrative rights. Content filtering works with an administrative account, but for the other settings, the account permissions need to be changed. </p> <p>If your child has an account that has administrative rights or has access to such an account, when you go to set up Family Rules in the product, a notification appears informing you to change the account type in the <strong>User & Groups</strong> settings and that <em>you are almost protected</em>. </p> <p>To continue with setting up the Family Rules settings, change the account type by following these steps: </p> <p><strong>Note:</strong> To change account type, you need another account with administrative rights. </p> <ol><li> Log out of the account you want to set up Family Rules for. </li> <li> Log in to another account with administrative rights. </li> <li> Open <strong>System Preferences </strong> > <strong> User & Groups</strong>, and select the name of the account that you want to make changes for. </li> <li> Uncheck the <em>Allow user to administer this computer</em>. </li> <li> Restart the computer when prompted and click <strong>OK</strong>. </li> <li> Log back in to the original administrative account (now with the changed status) that you wanted to set up Family Rules for. </li> <li> Open up SAFE for Mac, and select the Family Rules tab to see the Family Rules settings applied. </li> </ol> </article> </main>
