A local account is a user account that is restricted to a specific computer, whereas an administrator account has the power to make system-wide changes and can also create and manage other user accounts. In other words, an administrator account can do everything a local account can do, but a local account cannot do everything an administrator account can do. It is important to note that using an administrator account should only be done with caution, as making incorrect changes to the system can lead to irreversible damage.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_I_add_a_local_user_as_administrator\"><\/span>How do I add a local user as administrator?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To add a local user as an administrator on a device running the latest version of iOS, follow these steps:<br \/>\n1.
