Creating User Accounts
1. To create and edit user accounts, first go to the System Preferences from the Dock or from the Apple Menu.
2. Next click the Accounts icon underneath the System heading.
3. This will bring you to the Accounts screen below. Clicking on the plus sign at the bottom will add an account and allow you to set it up.
4. Once you've filled in the name and password and the optional hint you can go to the security screen. This screen allows you to set up the preferences for this account. If you would like to make this account an administrator account or if you would like to have the files for this user encrypted this is the screen you would add those options.
5. Next step is if you want to put limitations on that account. This screen lets you set the account to have no limits, some specific limits, or reduce their options when using Finder.
