I just set up a MBA for my Dad. to keep things simple, I have admin account (and I installed teamViewer so I can help him later). Then I also got him a USB 3 portable drive for time machine (large partition) and to clone his drive (smaller partition). everything works fine when I am logged in (I am admin). when I log in with his account, everything works fine, CCC asks me to purchase again (whatever, I just applied the same license code again) and then when I want to clone the internal drive, it asks me to enter the admin password. I guess a standard user (not admin) does not have enough rights to do the clone operation.
Is there a way around this? I'd like him to be a conscious user and clone his drive periodically, but he could make mistakes if he is admin.
Thanks
