While working on a project for a medium organization that wants osx macs deployed with non-admin rights and limited access to applications I needed to authorize 3 applescript droplet, but Parental Control let me add just one.

The problem is that all applescript apps have the same creator type and "only" this specific information is used for listing authorized apps. Of course any application has, in general, a unique creator type, but the same limitation applies to copies or different versions of the same application.

This is in my opinion a serious limitation in usage of Parental Control in business environment.

There is any alternative to change the creator type of each droplet to solve the problem?


No. But what you might be able to to is use AppleScript Studio to create a real application that handles 'on open


Or save them as bundles and change the CFBundleIdentifiers (or add it if needed).
