For example, if a particular Mac OS X installation had the users "switchtoamac" and "getamac", the following Users directories would be created: Mac OS X separates each user and provides each user with their own "Home" folder under the OS X "Users" directory. Note however, that in addition to accessing its own Home directory, an OS X Administrator can access the Home directory of each individual user on the system, but the Administrator will have to pass through a security validation procedure (password based) to access another user's Home folder. If the users "switchtoamac" and "getamac" exist on a particular OS X system, the files created and stored by "switchtoamac" will be inaccessible by "getamac" and vice-versa (if neither were administrators for the system)Ī user's Home directory is only accessible by the user that is currently logged into OS X. Each user in Mac OS X has their own account and is isolated from other users (in most cases). The Home folder is identified by an icon that looks like a house.
