Hi Guys,

Im using

Mac Book Pro (13 Inch, M1, 2020)

macOS Monterey (Version 12.3)

Recently I have created one standard user account Without admin privilege. However when I login into the standard user account :-

1.) I tried to delete the application from the Finder ----> application folder -----> right click "move to bin" IT WILL REQUEST FOR ADMIN CREDENTIAL ( WHICH IS CORRECT AND WHAT I WANT)

2.) I tried to open the LaunchPad -----> Drag an app to Bin ----> it will ask if im confirm want to delete or cancel -----> when I click Delete ----> app got deleted.

However when I return back to application folder in finder and found the app is missing and deleted.

( Which I feel like the front door have huge lock as the back door without a door)

To confirm on this behaviour - I switch user to admin account and checked ---> Yes the app got deleted.

Contacted apple support ---> request me to perform macOS repair installation ---> I did follow the instruction. After the OS repair installation I tested it still the same behaviour.

Can someone help me on this and share if you guys also face the same issues.

regards

Seenu

It is a shared Applications folder—

Typically a standard user does not have the admin psswd.

What is this a hypothetical scenario...you have created for yourself?

Why a standard account to begin with?

You can restrict privileges...from >System Preferences>General>Advanced

Set up content and privacy restrictions in Screen Time on Mac - Apple Support

For your app is question if highlighted> Command i opens the info pane— you can try Locking it (?)

or change permissions(?)
