# Accounts

Also, the SBGrid Software tree will not be remotely accessible and users will use the SBGrid Installer to install and update Software themselves. These are backed up to Crashplan hosted by HMS. If your Mac is not backed, or you receive warning or messages about Crashplan please contact ASAP as we want to ensure you do not lose any data.

-Currently, SBGrid supported Mac computers in these labs are a mixture of differing types of network accounts and local accounts. Later this year we will transition all Mac computers away from using network accounts due to the many issues people have with Macs & network accounts.
88
+Mac computers rely on either network accounts or local accounts. We will soon transition all Mac computers to local
89
+accounts because many people have encountered problems with network accounts on Macs.
82 90
83
-Macs with Local Accounts will have Administrative access to their Macs which will allow them to install and update Software without request that the SBGrid do so for them. Also, the SBGrid Software tree will not be remotely accessible and users will use the SBGrid Installer to install and update Software themselves. These are backed up to Crashplan hosted by HMS. If your Mac is not backed, or you receive warning or messages about Crashplan please contact ASAP as we want to ensure you do not lose any data.
91
+For Macs with local accounts, users will have administrative access with permission to install and update software.
92
+The SBGrid Installer will be used to access the SBGid software tree and will allow users to install and update the software
93

94
+receive warning messages about Crashplan backup failures, please contact us immediately to ensure that no data is lost.
