User account question.

[gaelan]

I am set up as the admin on my new iMac. I want to give my wife access to everything except making system changes and installing apps/programs for now.

I transferred all my photos from the pc under my account. I can't find the setting to allow my wife to access those photos while logged in under her account. She can see the albums but not the photos. Any suggestions?

Did you turn on Personal File Sharing in the Sharing Pane of System Preferences?

Or you could get application called iPhoto buddy that will let you connect to a iPhoto library in a non standard location or switch between two libraries.

yes, but i still can't view files created in the other account. i tried putting the file in the "public" folder as well.

What is the best user account setup?

Right now I have:
My account as admin
Wife account
Kids account

Should I add a fourth as my account and just use the admin as needed? I still can't figure out how to share docs and photos across the user accounts.
