How To Use Terminal On Mac - Beginner's Guide to Manage Users.
I use these commands to create an admin user on the Mac devices. As an MSP administrator, I prefer to create a second admin account for engineers using Mac so they can install apps they need for work.
Make sure you watch the whole video as I share some useful tips on the way.
If you guys have any more questions ask in the comments, I'll try to answer all of them.
Check the user with attributes
dscacheutil -q user | grep -A 3 -B 2 -e uid:\ 5'[0-9][0-9]'
Check the Admin accounts
dscacheutil -q group -a name admin
Create a new user and add it to the Admin group if you remove -admin at the end you will create a standard user
sudo sysadminctl -addUser primc -password mN8YXr34st6K -fullName "primc" -home /Users/primc -admin
Change the password
sudo passwd primc
Remove user from admin group
sudo dseditgroup -o edit -t user -d primc admin
Delete usersudo sysadminctl -adminUser primc -adminPassword -deleteUser primc# Another command to list the users on Mac
dscl . -list /Users | grep -v '^_' | grep -v '^root' | grep -v '^daemon'
