    Giving access to programs to other users

    I gave my son his own user account on my pc but I don't know how I can give him access to some of the games I have under my account.

    I don't want him to have access to everything I have, that's why he has his own account.

    Can anyone point me in the right direction?

    It depends on where you run the games from. If the games are in your home directory he won't be able to access them. If the games were installed to /usr/bin/ or /usr/games/ or anywhere other than your home directory there won't be a problem, he should be able to start them without a problem.
