Mac Install Applications For All Users

Posted on |



Powerful Mac apps that won't break the bank. There’s something of a misconception when it comes. Apple lets every user on a Mac launch apps available to all users, but the licensing may trip you up. It depends where it installs to. If it goes into the main Applications folder, then yes, it's available to all users - though each user will have their own distinct prefs, saved under their account. If it's installed to /Users/ your name/Applications, then it's only available to that user. If it is the HDD Fan Control Monitor Application (the app that displays the fan speed/temperature in the Menu Bar) that you want for each user, simply copy the App to each users Applications Directory or put it in the System wide Applications Directory. Rebooting the iMac and it works for every user. For those who really don’t like the design of the native macOS Mail app, Airmail 3 is about.

Mac Users Files

I created an app through applescript and would like all users on a machine to be able to use it. I saved it as a .app file and then drag it into the applications folder. Other users can see the app but it has a line though it and when they try to open it they get a message 'parts of the application are not available'
I go back into the admin account (where the app originated) Then I right click, and give read/write access to all users, reboot. The second user still has a problem opening the app but the error now says 'The app is not available' and still has a diagonal line through it.
I have tried this on multiple Os versions, any Ideas?
