Hi everyone,
On our mac, we have two admin accounts. Yes --- I know in certain ways that defies the whole point of an admin account and is not generally suggested, but that's the way things are gonna be so deal with it
I know in Ubuntu one can create groups, and thus declare a sort of "super admin" group: i.e., one that controls the users in the admin group and can't be controlled by them. I'd like to accomplish the same thing in Mac OS 10.5.8.
If it helps, the primary thing I want to control is to prevent the normal admin from disabling the super admin's admin status. As it stands now, any admin can disable any other admin's admin privileges simply by unchecking the box "Allow user to administer this computer" in System Preferences -> Accounts. This makes me gravely unhappy.
Lastly, I should point out that I've done some stuff in Workgroup Manager, so is there a way to edit groups using that?
Any help is appreciated! Thanks in advance!
