Disabling Screen time On A Mac (Solution)

[GabeShack]

Hey all,

We are in a one-to-one for Macs in our district and have given instructions to parent on how to set up screen time on their children's MacBook Air's.  Our problem comes when a parent doesnt remove the screen time lock during testing.  Sometimes the screen time filtering gets in the way of testing apps and websites.

So we figured out a solution.  Log into an admin account on the students computer, go to System Settings/Users and Groups and click the i button for the students user account and click delete account, then choose "Dont Change the Home Folder". Now you must navigate to the user folder and remove the word "(deleted)" from the users folder.

Once complete log out and have the user log back in.  Screen time should now be disabled.

This helps us deal with testing for specific students who need this feature disabled for tests.

If you follow the above you can retain the users info while removing the screen time lock.
