What are the users in mac HD "system" "wheel" and "everybody" and what does their privileges entail?
Hi,
I was looking at the Info on my Mac HD hard drive (OS X Yosemite Ver. 10.10.3), and I see that there are three users listed here; system, wheel, and everyone. I only have one user on my machine so I disabled everyone so that it had no access but just before I exited I saw a message that said "You have no access" directly below the Sharing & Permissions title, so I emediatly changed it back to read only.
So my questions are: what are the three users, why do I need them, what do they do for me, and what permissions should they have to keep my machine the most secure?
Thanks in advance
