Client Management: Mac OS X 283

Designating Administrators

For Mac OS X clients, the server administrator has the greatest amount of control over other

users and their privileges. The server administrator can create users, groups, and computer

accounts and assign settings, privileges, and managed preferences for them. He or she can

also create other server administrator accounts, or give some users (for example, teachers or

technical staff ) administrative privileges within certain directory domains. These “directory

domain administrators” can manage users, groups, and computer accounts within the limits

assigned to them by the server administrator.

For more information about assigning administrative privileges to users with network

accounts, see Chapter 3, “Users and Groups.”

Setting Up User Accounts

If you use Workgroup Manager to manage your OS X clients, you can set some privileges

when you set up accounts. You can use “presets” like templates and apply various settings

automatically when you create an account. See Chapter 3, “Users and Groups,” for more

information about how to set up user accounts.

Depending on your needs, you may want to set up local user accounts on your client

computers in addition to network user accounts. A network user has a user account

associated with Mac OS X Server, and you can allow that user to log in from various

computers on your network. A local user has an account associated with a speciﬁc client

computer, and his or her local account is independent from any network user account and

other local accounts on other computers. An individual user may have both a network

account that provides access to network services and a separate local account on a speciﬁc

computer. You can set up managed preferences for any user with a network account, but the

most convenient way to manage network users is by managing preferences for groups to

which they belong. This makes it easier to manage users regardless of which computer

they use.

If users have local accounts on speciﬁc computers, you can still manage their user

preferences on the client computer without using Workgroup Manager. However, it may be

more useful to manage local users indirectly by using Workgroup Manager to manage

preferences for the client computer and group that can access that computer. These group

and computer preferences are cached for ofﬂine use, making this preference conﬁguration

especially useful for mobile computers. If a user on a mobile computer disconnects from the

network, he or she is still managed.

You can set up managed preferences for users after you create the user accounts. For more

information about managed preferences and how to use them, see “Managing Preferences”

on page 295.
