Hello all,
I am installing a POS (point of sale) application for a client who owns a clothing boutique.
He bought a new iMac and I set it up with the admin account.
Our plan is to set up an account named "Employees" which will only allow the POS app, Safari (to one website only), mail (from one account)...you get the idea. He had some problems before with employees surfing the web, myspace, etc.
I originally set up a managed account with parental controls that locked everything down tight.
Well, I installed the POS software and even though I "allow" it through the parental controls it still wont work.
I believe that it has to do with the other fles contained within the admin account.
I did some research via google and tried sharing the folder, moving it to the "shared" folder, pretty much everything.
My questions are; if I install the program onto a standard account will I be able to run it as an administrator. If so, is there a way for me to lock down the standard account so that the email, web, and pretty much all of the applications are rendered useless only to the employee account and not the admin?
Thanks in advance...
Chuck
btw I did search this forum as well as google before I posted but cant seem to find anything about locking down a "standard" account.
