Importing photos in iPhoto or Image Capture as a limited or managed user

You can set up a limited or managed user's account so iPhoto or Image Capture can import photos.
Follow these easy steps if a user can't import photos from a digital camera because the camera isn't recognized:
  1. From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
  2. From the View menu, choose Accounts.
  3. Select the limited user account you want to give camera access.
  4. Click Limitations.
  5. Select "This user can only use these applications," if it isn't already, and make changes to the application limits, if desired.
  6. Click Locate.
  7. Navigate to /System/Library/Image Capture/Devices/.
  8. Select all the items in this folder.
  9. Click Add.






The limited user account should now be able to use iPhoto or Image Capture to import photos from the camera.
