3 finger swipe gesture while on guest user account
-

Question
Firstly, I have the latest OS X installed (10.11.2) and when I log in to the Mac with my administration account everything regarding the trackpad gestures works smoothly.
What impresses me is that when I create a guest user account, then I cannot resize any window with the 3 finger swipe gesture (yes, I have checked the settings). However, if I press hard the trackpad and swipe, then it works.
Does anyone have a similar problem?
- I have already tried SMC/PRAM reset and deleting/disabling the account but the problem persists.
UPDATE: This problem occurs no matter the type of account I create (i.e. even if I create an extra administration account).
Solution
Thank you @thanasissdr for answering your own question:
- To enable 3-finger swipe on any account, go to System Preferences > Accessibility.
- On the right, choose Mouse & Trackpad.
- Click "Trackpad Options..."
- Check "Enable dragging" and select "three finger drag" from the drop-down list.
