Restricting a child user from running already-installed applications.

# Restricting Access to Installed Applications

You can prevent a user from running specific applications which are already installed on the computer. This could be useful if other users need those applications but they are not appropriate for a child.

When installing additional software, you should consider whether that needs to be restricted for some users — newly installed software is usable by all users by default.

To restrict a user’s access to a specific application:

Open the Parental Controls application.

Select the user in the tabs at the top.

Press the Restrict Applications button.

Enable the switch in the row for each application you would like to restrict the user from accessing.

Close the Restrict Applications window.
