Can a standard user use software manager

[Matthew Ollis]

I was wondering, I've got two desktops on my computer, one is guest and the other is admin. Every is time I want to install a program with software manager I need to go on the administrator's account. Can I go on software manager on guest.

Adding the guest to the sudo group will then allow it to install applications.

Like @WharfRat said but the security implications are very bad. You don't want a guest account to be able to install software. Or have access to SUDO. Its just not a good idea. The best option would to just use the Admin account. Or disable the guest account and create a Standard account with limited SUDO capability that uses a PASSWORD to login which a standard guest account does not.

Search on google - 'sudo' , or 'configuring sudo'. Also in youtube.
