If a new family member or even a new office co-worker is going to use your Macintosh, you can create a new user account for them. Having separate user accounts means each person who uses the Mac can each have their own settings, like iCloud account information, application preferences, and desktop wallpaper. They can each have their own repository of files and folders. It's the safest way to make sure you're not overwriting or otherwise disturbing each other's files. Here's how to do it.

Breaking down what each account means

First, some notes about the different user accounts you can set up on the Mac:

The first account on any newly set up Mac is the administrator account. There has to be at least one. This account is the one you need to set up a new user from. Administrators can add and manage other users on the Mac, install apps, and change settings. Your Mac can have multiple administrator accounts.

Standard user accounts are set up by the Mac administrator account, and can install apps and change settings, but can't add other users or change other users' settings. If you're in charge of the Mac and its accounts but don't want anyone else to be, create standard accounts for them.

Managed with parental controls is the best setting for kids or anyone else who needs a guiding hand when using the Mac. These users can access only the apps and content specified by the administrator using parental controls. Among other things, you can restrict managed users' contacts, website access and place time limits on computer use.

Sharing only accounts can access shared files remotely, but can't log in to the computer or change settings. This is helpful if you have users you frequently share files with who don't need direct access to the computer. If you don't want to create sharing only accounts, you can also share files using AirDrop, or attach them in Mail using Mail Drop.

Group accounts give multiple users the same access privileges. That group will have the same access to shared files and folders. Let's say that multiple users need access to stationery files stored on your Mac for office correspondence: Make them part of the 'office' group, then make sure the 'office' group has permission to that folder in the File Sharing section of the Mac's Sharing preferences.

How to create a new user account on the Mac

1. Click on the Apple icon in the upper left corner of your Mac's screen.
2. Select System Preferences from the drop down menu.
3. Click on Users & Groups.
4. Click the lock in the lower left corner to make changes.
   
5. Type your administrator password.
6. Click Unlock.
7. Click the Add user account button (it looks like a plus, underneath the list of user accounts). .
   
8. Set the new user's account type.
   • See the notes above to understand the difference between administrator, standard, managed with parental controls, sharing only and group. You can enable administrator access and even enable parental controls after an account has been created, so if you're not sure what to set, don't panic. .
     
9. Enter a full name for the user.

10. Enter an account name.

    • This account can be linked to an iCloud account, which will enable the user to log in using their own Apple ID. This can make cloud sharing, syncing with iOS devices and other Macs easier.

    • You can set up a separate password, which you'll be required to input and verify. You can also enter a hint in case the user (or you) forget the password.

11. When you're finished, click the Create User button.

    You will also need the following.

You can save the cost of a MacBook Air by buying a refurbished Mac Pro

Apple's current Mac Pro is now available as a refurbished item from apple.com.

I am getting 'permission denied'. I am the administrator so I don't understand why I am getting this.

You might have to sudo. On my Snow Leopard, I see that the directory is root:admin, so you shouldn't need to sudo, but you might as well try it anyway.

sudo did the trick. Thanks.

Alternatively, after opening the library folder, using the Go menu, you can drag the folder's icon in the title bar to the Dock, Tool Bar, and/or the Side Bar.

Let me rephrase for clarity:
After opening '~/Library' using the 'Go..' menu, you can drag the proxy icon (the icon in the titlebar) to the sidebar, etc.

Freeware for that - allows you to temporarily (or permanently) hide / unhide files and folders. Basically, a GUI for those who don't want to mess with terminal.

That utility is for globally turning off and on the behaviour of hiding files. I don't have Lion yet, but I imagine by showing hidden files globally that way, you'd be able to Get Info on a file and turn off its individual visibility.

All you need to do, on a per use basis, is hold down the OPTION key while selecting GO from the FILE MENU; Library automagically appears in the list.

To save Snow Leopard users time: this doesn't work in Snow Leopard.

I tried it and got this result: dyld: shared cached file was build against a different libSystem.dylib, ignoring cache

This is a simple but important hint. Thank you.

What would be a good way to check visibility of a folder, so visibility can be toggled?

how do i install Quartz Composer? i can't find it in installer.

Works great, thanks for the hint. I did run into one hiccup though. I think this was just a random isolated instance but just in case anyone else gets weird behavior, repair your permissions. I changed the permissions of my Library folder and my downloads folder would appear empty (it wasn't empty before) and random files ranging from resource folders to language files and pretty much anything else you can think of was constantly appearing and disappearing.
I performed this hint on a fresh install of lion and it worked perfectly.
End result: Hint works as described, if you run into weird behavior just repair your permissions and try again.

Thanks! I've been looking for this folder for weeks.

It's worth mentioning that installing the system update from 10.7.2 to 10.7.3 resets the user Library to be hidden again, so you'll need to run this command after any system update.

When you launch Terminal, you're in your user home folder anyway, so you only need to type
chflags nohidden Library
The tilde and slash are superfluous.
