Actually, I think the dialog I just got said something about
"Developer Tools Group."
My day-to-day account is non-admin (for a little more security), but
I'd like to give it Developer privileges. Is there a way to do this?
Mac OS X used to have that arcane NeXT tool that let you set groups
and all with a GUI, but it's long gone (such that I can't even
remember its name).
I _think_ you can do this from the command line along the lines of:
dseditgroup -o edit -u <adminusername> -t user -a <developerusername>
_developer
The traditional Unix way of editing some file in /etc may well work too.
Instead of all that, I downloaded the Server Admin Tools - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL914
- and used Workgroup Manager (connect to localhost with an admin
user name and password). The View->Show System Records command makes
all users and groups visible. After that, find Developer Tools in the
Groups pane (GID 204 on my system) and add the members you want.
There really doesn’t seem to be a simpler way.
