How to Install Programs on a Mac Without Admin Rights

administratorinstallationmacos

I have a company laptop, a MacBook. I just need to know if I can install any program without having admin rights or an admin password?

Best Answer

If it is a drag & drop installation you can drag it to the Applications folder within your user folder, or anywhere within your user folder for that matter. If it uses Apple's Installer you will need an admin name & password. You may or may not be able to get around that by right clicking on the installer package, select "Show Package Contents" and drag & drop the app from there.
