Parental controls it is a perfect tool if the Mac use it children, or to be used in the educational world. Will allow us configure our software so that users can access only the services that we want them to use, preventing their access to pages or programs that they should not see. In other previous headlines we saw how this tool is configured and even some tricks.
The negative part of all the options that an operating system carries today is the configuration, sometimes a bit expensive. It is true that today this configuration is greatly simplified, (I still remember in amazement the day I restored my Mac with a Time Machine backup) still, adding a new option usually takes a while. Therefore, we will see below how copy these profiles from one user account to another:
First of all, we access System preferences (the clock wheel icon) and click Parental Controls.
- It will ask us to enter the Administrator password.
- Click on the User account what we want copy the settings.
- At the bottom, next to the + and - symbol, is the gear wheel, press it.
- Select option Copy settings.
- Mark the User Account where you want to Paste the settings.
- Again, press the gear wheel, but this time select the option Paste Settings.
You already have the settings copied to a new user account, saving a lot of time.
As we recently saw in an interview with Tim Cook and other Apple officials, that lthe company is focused on providing customer service wherever you areEither at work, in the car or at home. Therefore, a service such as Parental Control is necessary to adapt the software to the characteristics of each user who uses our Mac, regardless of being the father-mother / son, or the Teacher / student.
