Mac Student on OS X 10.9 (Mavericks)
Enabling Keystroke Monitoring and Keyboard Blocking
Due to security changes in OS X 10.9 (Mavericks), the Insight Mac Student can no longer block the
keyboard or monitor keystrokes by default. This functionality can be enabled in Mavericks by
approving the Insight Student as an Accessibility application in the System Preferences:
1. After installing the Insight Mac Student (version 7.7.4 or later), open System Preferences from
the Apple menu.
2. Click the Security & Privacy icon.
3. Select the Privacy tab.
4. Select Accessibility from the list on the left side of the Privacy pane.
5. Click the lock icon in the lower left corner of the window and enter an admin account and
password when prompted.
6. Select the checkbox next to "Insight" in the list of Accessibility applications. A logout is
necessary before the approval will take effect.
Automated Installation
The insight_teacher.pkg and the insight_student.pkg can be customized and installed through a
desktop management application.
To customize this package complete the following steps:
1. Double click on insight_teacher.dmg or insight_student.dmg.
2. Double click on “Create a custom package”.
3. Follow the installation wizard and select the appropriate options.
4. Name and save the package.
This will create a custom package that can be installed with the selected settings.
Note: Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger does not support the APIs to allow Blank Screen to function nor will it
support Show Teacher at login.
