## Topics for Mac

### Upgrade requires administrator privileges

#### Cause

On macOS, users without administrator privileges cannot perform in-app upgrades from the Docker Desktop Dashboard.

#### Solution

> [!IMPORTANT]
>
> Do not uninstall the current version before upgrading. Doing so deletes all local Docker containers, images, and volumes.

To upgrade Docker Desktop:

- Ask an administrator to install the newer version over the existing one.
- Use the []`--user` install flag](/manuals/desktop/setup/install/mac-install.md#security-and-access) if appropriate for your setup.
