Return User To Admin Users and Undo Parental Controls
-

Question
For a while, I had only one user, say, User1
, on my Mac's High Sierra. Then there arose a need to have some parental controls. To do that I created a new user, say, User2
and made it an admin while User1
was the controlled one.
At present, the need to control is no longer there and all of the information that I need to use is still under User1
. My questions are the following.
How can I add
User1
to sudo'ers?Is there a way to get rid of
User2
account and restoreUser1
to its original sole ownership?How can I make sure all of the deleted user's info and storage is scrapped and freed?
Any help or advice is appreciated.
La solution
As User 2
- Open Users & Groups
- Unlock it with Password
- Disable (uncheck) parental controls for user 1
- Enable User 1 as Admin
Log out from User 2, log in as User 1
- Open Users & Groups
- Delete user 2 (you will be offered to save or not the user data)
