Hi everyone, I work as a technician in a UK school and we have run into an issue with disabling applications such as System Preferences and Terminal on a standard local account.
Basically we do not want students to have access to these types of programs and I would like to know if it's possible to disable them completely, without the use of parental controls (as we have encountered problems when running certain applications if this is enabled.)
I have found that changing the permissions of these applications will disable the user from clicking on that specific icon, but I've found that it is still possible to run the program if the same icon from another machine copied over (eg. via USB).
If anyone could help (even if it's just to stop terminal and system preferences) I would be very grateful.
thanks
