= Admin Accounts on Your Mac =
The vast majority of tasks can be carried out on your Orchard Mac without administrator privileges, and you should never log into your Mac as anything other than a standard user. However, depending on how it is managed, there may be up to three different Admin accounts on your Orchard Mac, detailed below.
== Local Administrator (ladmin) ==
The Local Administrator (ladmin) account may be present if:
 * You are a laptop user
 * You have specifically requested it
This account is to be used solely for elevating your privileges when asked to by the operating system, e.g. when unlocking a pane in System Preferences.
