How does a user create a new user account on macOS?

Creating a new user account on macOS is typically done through the System Preferences under Users and Groups. This method provides a user-friendly interface that allows the individual to manage user accounts easily.

When accessing System Preferences and navigating to Users and Groups, users can add, delete, or modify existing accounts. This interface allows the administrator to set various account types, permissions, and whether the account will be able to access certain features or apps. It simplifies the process for users who may not be familiar with command-line tools or terminal commands, making it accessible for a wider audience.

Utilizing the Terminal command line could also create a user account but is not the most straightforward or preferred method for most users, particularly those who are not familiar with command line operations. Options like Finder and the Help menu do not include features for managing user accounts directly, which further solidifies why the System Preferences approach is the correct and most standard method for this task.
