Re: Give user installation privileges?

I've been testing settings in WGM to give a user with a managed account and a networked home area, permission to install applications on his desktop. If I add the account to be able to administer the directory domain it appears he can sudo to root privileges on any machine in the domain. Even if I use the settings in Privileges to limit access to his computer.

What I want is to allow him to be able to install new software on his desktop, but still have a network home area and managed account.

I'm running 10.3.9 server with 10.4.6 clients.

Take a look at /etc/authorization. <http://www.afp548.com/article.php? story=20041027093216241>


Apple has it hardcoded in Tiger to not let any user open the Software Update utility by default. You can change that, but the file escapes me at this moment.

P.S. Probably a better question for the client management list.
