How to create new user and set the privilege for this account on windows 8?
Since 3 of my family share the same computer, and I hope I could keep their privacy from each other.
How can I do that?

To create a new user, open Start and search for Users
under Settings
.
This should open up to the PC settings
page on the Users
tab
Select Add user
under Other Users
Complete the Add a user
wizard. There should be an option to set up family safety, but if you miss it our it doesn't show simply:
Once you've finished adding the new user, open Start and search for Change account type
Click on the account you would like to modify
Then select Change account type
and choose 'Standard'.
You should return to the following screen, select Manage another account.
Now choose Set up Family Safety
and configure appropriately.

The process for creating local (non Microsoft Live) accounts is the same as in Windows 7, for the most part. You can link accounts to Live at a latter stage as well if you want.
My preferred way to add accounts is through the Computer Management.
Open it by typing compmgmt.msc
on that Start Screen or right clicking Computer in Explorer and choosing Manage.
Expand "Local Users and Groups", right click "Users" and choose "New User."
Fill out the form, click create. You will have a new user that has no Admin rights. If you want to muck around with group for permissions, etc. you can do that from this console as well.

If a local account: 1. Click on user. 2. Click on "Change the account type". 3. Make sure that it is a Standard user.
If Microsoft account: Not sure about here. Just testing.
1once a local account is created, you can link it to a M$ account upon login. – Jared Tritsch – 2012-11-01T23:04:18.850
Oddly when I set up a new account it did not initially show up in the 'Modify accounts' bit. After a minute or so it showed up. Not sure if this happens to anyone else. – Tanner Faulkner – 2012-11-01T22:49:43.460
