I need help on an issue that should be relatively simple to solve. I purchased my Mac Mini (running OS X 10.5.5) and set up two accounts, as follows: One for myself, to which I gave administrative rights (ie, I checked the box that says 'Allow User to Administer this Computer.' The other account was for my wife, which I made a standard user. Everything was fine until I tried copying files to a folder in my wife's profile while logged on under my account, which I thought had administrative rights. Mac OS X would not allow me to access her folder structure.
I went into system preferences and checked under accounts. My account is listed as an Admin account and hers is listed as a standard account. However, the option with the checkbox that says 'Allow User to Administer this Computer' is dimmed on my account. The box is checked, but the phrase itself is dimmed.
I can't do anything with it. I already tried a fix where you boot with the install DVD and reset the System Administrator password. That didn't work. Also, if I login in as the true administrator and check my account under System Preferences the 'Allow User to Administer this Computer' option is dimmed there as well. I would appreciate any help on this issue. Only a 'root' user has free rein over the system.
The admin account user does not have 'root' access. There is a way to do that, but the real question is whether your wife would consent to giving you such access. There are alternatives to transferring files if that's all you wish to do. The easiest way is to use a USB flash drive on which permissions have been disabled. You can transfer files to it and she can copy them. The same could be done on an external drive.
If you are trying to share an iTunes or iPhoto library that can be done within the sharing preferences for each application. If you just need to work together on a few files then the best way is to use the Shared folder. If you could give me some idea of what the goal is then perhaps I can come up with some more pointers.
