4. Locate your account name in the list. The account name is usually displayed with a small user icon next to it.
5. If the word “Admin” is immediately below your account name, then you are an administrator on this machine.
Having administrator privileges on your MacBook Pro allows you to make changes to system settings, install and uninstall software, manage other user accounts, and perform other administrative tasks. It is important to note that being an administrator comes with certain responsibilities and should be used with caution to avoid making unintended changes or causing system issues.
In my personal experience, having administrator access on my MacBook Pro has been useful in situations where I needed to customize system settings, install software that required administrative privileges, or troubleshoot issues that required making changes to system files. However, it is important to exercise caution and double-check any changes or installations before proceeding, as certain actions can have unintended consequences or compromise the security and stability of the system.
