About Workgroup Administrators
Workgroup administrators can add or modify user accounts and workgroups according to
privileges assigned to them. Regardless of privileges, they cannot change a user’s type or
change access settings, and they cannot create Finder workgroups.
Workgroup administrators also have access to shared folders, such as hand-in folders, which
can be used to collect documents from users. In a school environment, for example, teachers
who are workgroup administrators can distribute and collect assignments over the network.
A teacher can also make available various network resources, applications, and CDs that
promote teaching objectives for the class.
