- codetrotter 3y agoDoes not seem significantly different from creating any other account using the command line instead. There are very many accounts on a macOS system already, none of which show up in the GUI. Probably macOS chooses to show users in the GUI only if they have a uid in a certain range and their home directory in /Users. Which is why your user “disappears” when you change the uid and the home directory in your video. Also, you said in another comment that it does not require admin privileges. But then you use the GUI to add a user, with the settings lock unlocked. That’s an admin action. Regular users without admin privileges are not able to create new users. What you are demonstrating is not an attack. This is just a quirk of how macOS chooses to present certain user accounts in the GUI and other accounts not.
