Password for specific functions
Hi
I have a somewhat odd problem I hope you may assist me with. I work at a high school as music teachers and we have a small studio setup with a Mac Pro and a semi-pro ProTools setup as well as other music software. We use it for our classes but also lend to a few other users. Now, the thing is... it is a pretty expensive setup and we don't people messing with it but we also need for it to be easily accessible for the guests who come by. At the moment, we only have one account with everything installed onto it and if someone wants to use Logic, Ableton or another of the programs, they have to login to that account. This means that we can't have a password protected login but is there a way to make the system require the password for specific functions? For example, software installation as the main issue but smaller things such as the mouse scrolling directions or changing the screen background?
We may go with a multiple user setup at some point but the last time I tried this, every program not installed with OS X needed a new license, which we don't have and can't afford.
Hope, you can help me out 🙂
Mac Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9)
