Individuals can have their own accounts on a Mac. These can be set up in the Accounts section of System Preferences. The account can be classed as Standard or Administrator. Administrator accounts allow access to parts of the system denied to standard account - such as the ability to install software. The settings for the Administrator account will have a name and a password that the user can set to anything they wish.
