This is an excellent trick when kid-proofing a Mac, or for any other situation where app usage should be limited for certain users. Upon the next login for the that user, the apps that were not selected will not be accessible. When finished, close out of Parental Controls, though you may want to check the box for “Use Simple Finder” as well to even further limit options available to the designated user account. Under the “Apps” tab, check the box for “Limit Applications”, then go through the list of apps and check only the apps you want that user to be able to open and use.Choose the username from the left side to restrict app access to, then click “Enable Parental Controls”.Click the unlock icon in the corner to unlock access to Parental Controls.Launch System Preferences from the Apple menu and choose “Parental Controls”.If you haven’t done so yet, you’ll want to have created a separate user account for the user to restrict app access to, that can be done through the “Users & Groups” panel in System Preferences.
