Ensure an Administrator Password Is Required to Access System-Wide Preferences
Description
System Preferences controls system and user settings on a macOS Computer. System Preferences allows the user to tailor their experience on the computer as well as allowing the System Administrator to configure global security settings. Some of the settings should only be altered by the person responsible for the computer. By requiring a password to unlock system-wide System Preferences, the risk of a user changing configurations that affect the entire system is mitigated and requires an admin user to re-authenticate to make changes.
