I was installing Saft on an iMac meant for presentation purposes. I then noticed that Saft doesn't provide the possibility to install for only one User; instead it gets installed into /Library. I run Saft in Kiosk mode, because the user at the museum where I work must not be allowed to access the system. Unfortunately, every other User now gets the kiosk mode when starting Safari.
The solution was quite easy: either in Terminal, or logged in as root, I moved the files Saft installed from the general /Library to the User-specific Library (after having Installed Saft). Here's the Terminal solution:
Kiosk mode (if enabled) is only active in the specific account then, but not in the other accounts (which, in my case, is a protected admin account). Please make sure to give a password to the einstein account, since in Saft, you can access the preferences menu without a password (by typing Cmd-,) otherwise.

$ sudo mv /Library/InputManagers/SIMBL \
/Users/einstein/Library/InputManagers/SIMBL
$ sudo mv /Library/InputManagers/Saft \
/Users/einstein/Library/InputManagers/Saft
$ sudo mv /Library/Application\ Support/SIMBL \
/Users/einstein/Library/Application\ Support/SIMBL
where einstein is the User directory of the account you want to have Saft installed. Note that there are three commands above, shown on multiple lines for a narrower display.
