Yesterday I got a new iMac, and then used Migration Assistant to move every thing over to the new iMac. This created a second admin. The one from my old iMac and the one made for the new iMac. So now one account can do some stuff, while the other account can do other stuff.
For example, the admin from my old iMac has all my browser and email settings/bookmarks, and iTunes songs, but oh, wait...it can't edit and save the text files!!!!!!!!!! This is the admin I would like to have. Only the new admin can save the text files by default. The old one has custom access and has to edit the Sharing and Permission, to Read and Write before the file can be saved.
Is there any way to give one admin access to everything and delete the other one?
Edit: Duh...clicking the lock to make changes would help!! Then de-admining yourself, loging out and back in, then loging in as the other admin, and deleting the new admin does the job!! er, guess you can still be a total n00bie after using Macintosh for 25 years! 😀
