I am trying to set up a Mac for a children's home and I need an account that they can use the internet on without giving the admin password, is this possible?

Any standard account. Just do not make admin when creating the account.

If you turn it on, it ought to stay on for the other users? If it's a children's home (multiple users) why not just use Guest? Nothing would be saved on logout but with multiple users they may not need that anyway?
Macjack thanks for your help so far, this is the situation
I have an Admin account that onlt 2 people know the password to, if others get the password they alter things without checking first, We have another account that the young people use for internet, and there is a third account that is just ised for listening to music we have downloaded on itunes so not online. The internet account is the problem because if I am not here they cannot go online as they don't know the admin password. If they are logged on and I leave then the internet cannot be turned off and young people can access anything. Although staff should be supervising the young people tend to know mre than the staff. So what I would like is a seperate log in for the wifi on the internet account so they cannot access the admin but can still go online when I am not here. hope this makes sense
Thanks. That is what I have done but when I try to turn the wifi on or off it asks for the Admin password, I need to be able to turn it on without admin password
Any admin password can change it & other settings, you don't need to give them the PW. :)
