58 Chapter 5 Managing Users
The following table summarizes the key differences between server accounts, imported
accounts, and local accounts.
About Administrator Accounts
You need an administrator account on your server to create other user accounts,
create groups, change server settings, and perform other tasks using Server
Preferences. With an administrator account, you can also make changes to locked
preferences in System Preferences, install software on the server, and perform other
tasks that standard users can’t.
