Allow non-Admin users to modify system preferences
Authored by: dcoyle on Aug 01, '03 09:39:11PM

This doesn't address the title problem of allowing non-Admin users to modify system settings, but it does address the specific problem of users travelling to different time zones.

I may have this wrong and hopefully someone will correct me, but I believe the system time should be the same for a Mac anywhere you are in the world. The representation of the system time will vary, however, based on your timezone setting. I would strongly recommend changing the timezone rather than the time.

In any event, you can leave the date/time preference pane unlocked in the user's account. Unless he inadvertantly clicks on the padlock icon and locks the preference, he can change the date, time, or timezone at will.
