Hi,

I'm currently working on a case where I need to find out which user accounts have administrator access, and if possible when the accounts were given these privileges.

OS Info Mac OSX 10.8.5. I've had a dig around on-line, appleexaminer.com etc., and am not having a great deal of luck.

If anyone could point in the right direction I would be most grateful.

fuzed,

Have you checked the /var/db/dslocal/nodes/Default/groups/admin.plist ? That should (though the location/file name may have changed with later OS releases) give a list of users who are administrators…
