Hello,
I have created an additional standard user. Why do the messages about the installation of a system update appear for this user, although as far as I know a standard user is not allowed to make such an installation?
Wouldn't it be better if only the admin user saw these messages?
Thank you

As long as the Administrator Account is Logged into - notifications of an update may appear even in s Standard Account user.
Only the Administrator Account can be used to Install the update.
Be aware, the download of the update will require the Admin of the computer to manually Input the Admin Account Password Before the update will be permitted to even download.
Again, the Admin Password will be required to Allow the Update to even commence the Installation Process
If you use an iPhone or iPad - the above two passwords requirements for any update falls in line with the iOS procedures to perform the same update process.

Had the Admin Account user Logged Out of their account when the Standard User received notifications of System Updates ?
Hello,
no the admin user was logged in but locked, during my wife worked as standard user. Because I'm a not so experienced Mac user I just wondered why she got's this message, and I didn't know if the update will be installed when she confirms the update.
Possibilty 1 she will get a message that it isn't allowed and nothing happens
Possibilty 2 she will install the update by confirming, but that will not make me really happy :-)
