hi! hoping someone can help me. i just got a new MacBook and the parental control icon in system preferences is not there. is this a feature that just isn't part of the latest versions? this has Monterey version 12.1. i was using it to allow my kids to have separate accounts on the computer and control what they have access to and when. any suggestions? is there a way to get it back on?
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.1
thank you. i know how to use screen time to control other devices. how can i use screen time to control other accounts on the same computer?
I was wondering the same thing, We want to restrict access to an account as well. Doesn't seem to be any way of doing it.
This is not really the answer we are looking for.
Need to restrict a childs account from using the internet unless we give him permission.
When you make your kids user accounts, ensure you set them to Standard instead of admin accounts, otherwise if they know an admin password they can start potentially making things go awry if they try to download things like frEe robUx 2022 and other potential malware + they won’t be able to change a lot of settings in System Preferences, or install software from the web.
Me too, I'm trying to limit content on my children's account on my iMac, and my teenagers can just change the settings when they want on a standard account without my (admin) password. I can't see any way to control that. What am I missing? Surely there must be a way to manage access beyond just "screen time"
I don't have an answer, I have the same/similar issue. I'm trying to set up a guest user that has limited access to apps, programs and files. In the past MACs, it was in the System Preferences, Users & Groups. There was a parental Control that once could select apps and programs that the guest user could only have access to. Just can't work it out with the new MacBook with OS12.2.1.
Anyone?
Parental controls is now "Screen Time" in Mac System Preferences.
