Next you will have to choose the account type. If you want the user to have all permission then you need to choose the Computer Administrator option. If you want the user to have limited permissions you should choose the limited option. I recommend using the limited option; however, most people will use the administrator option. When you are finished click the Create Account button.

You are finished. If you would like to add a password or change any settings for the user simply click on the icon. To test the account you can either log off your current account, or if you have fast users switching enables, you can switch to the new account. From now on you will get to choose which users to log into when you restart the computer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
