If at home, you only have one Mac that the whole family goes through, it is most likely that each of the users has a user account with different privileges. The most normal thing is that there is a single administrator who can manage all accounts and that the rest are users without any type of privilege, this will prevent our precious Mac from starting to fill up with junk applications, which the resolution changes itself without touching anything, what they have erased themselves the photos of the last trip ... All this with the user accounts does not happen.
The macOS Sierra user account system also allows you to control the information that the smallest of the house can access so that in this way we can quietly leave our Mac knowing that YouTube will surely or will come out. But as we are creating user accounts, the screen and home are filled with circles with the names of the people who have created their user account.
Default, Apple adds a default image from the image group you have for users. The logical step is to change that image for the image of the person in question since an image is worth a thousand words. Changing a user's image may seem like an impossible task if we start to browse the options offered by macOS Sierra. But as in most occasions, the most obvious thing is what we never tried.
Quickly change user image in macOS Sierra
- If we want to change the image of a specific user, we must go to System Preferences> Users and Groups.
- Next we must select the user for whom we want to change the image that represents him and enable the modifications by unlocking the padlock located in the lower left corner of the window where we are.
- Now we just have to drag the image that we want to use as far as the image of the user in question is.
