You can choose which system preferences users see when they open System Preferences.

Managing Access to System Preferences

When you show an item in System Preferences, a user can open the preference, but may or
may not be able to change its settings. For example, if you set preference management for
the Dock to Always and you make Dock preferences available in System Preferences, a user
can view the settings but cannot make any changes.

Some System Preferences may not be available on your administrator computer. You should
either install the missing preferences on the administrator computer you are using, or you
should use Workgroup Manager on an administrator computer that has those preferences
installed.

To manage access to System Preferences:

1

Open Workgroup Manager.

2

Use the At pop-up menu to find the directory domain that contains the account you want,
then click Preferences.

3

Click the lock and enter your user name and password.

Select a user, group, or computer account in the account list, then click the Applications
preference icon.

Click System Preferences.
