Change public share access to read only for public and full access to selected users

Hi, new to the community just purchased a recertified WDMyCloud 2TB after my 2 years old MyBookLive 2TB HD died due to accidental power cable unplugging. I've got everything setup including MiniDLNA by following instructions on this forum and everything is working  exactly as I want it to except public share. I want public share to be set to read only access for public and full access to certain users (just myself at the moment) and having a "upload" folder within this share with full public access to everything in this folder would be a bonus. I tried login in to ftp with root user and removing write permission for public but that blocks me out as well. I'm sure it's possible by doing some majic on SSH but I wouldn't have a clue so hoping someone here would be able to help me out.

What i want is public to have read only access to file server. Public as in users who do not have a user account on mycloud. E.g someone who connects to to my home network for the first time and is able to browse and download content from public share. I'm aware of being able to set indivual access to shares for users like full access, read only and no access but public users won't have a user account.Through the My Cloud UI interface what you seek to do is not possible. The public share like all other share folders are an all or nothing affair when using the adminstration UI. When using the administration UI you do not have granular control on shared folders to limit non users to read only access or set permission levels for subfolders. The workaround to do what you seek and have the public folder set for read only is to change the folder settings via SSH. It may take some work to set the folder security so that users can read/write to the public folder while the guests only have read access. However, if you reboot the WD My Cloud or update the WD My Cloud firmware those settings may be reset back to the default settings where the entire public folder is read/write for all. There are way to prevent this but again it will take a bit of coding to do so via SSH. See this link (even though its for the WD My Book Live) for a starting point on how to use SSH to change the permission levels on the public folder. Another option if one doesn't go the SSH route is to turn off public sharing for the public folder then create a "guest" user account and give that "guest" account read only access to the public folder while all other user accounts have full read/write access.

  • Read Only for "Group" and "Others" via SMB

    I see when Windows vista users of my OS X 10.5.8 server save a file to the server, the permissions show on the server as Read & Write for the owner and Read Only for 'Group' and 'Others'.
    Is there a way I can make the OS X server always make 'Group' and 'Others' always be Read & Write?
    Thanks!

    It's using a shared component LOV cleverly called LOV_YN which consists of a static LOV with
    1 Display=Yes, Return=Y
    2 Display=No, Return=N
    The settings in the LOV section on the item iteself:
    Named LOV: LOV_YN
    Display Extra values: No Dynamic translation: Not translated
    Number of columns: 2 Display null: No
    Null display value is blank as is null return value
    Item was setup as a radio group and was only converted over to a select list to work around this issue. Let me know what else you need and thanks again.

  • I am having trouble with an excel file wanting to save when no changes were made & opening as read only for the 2nd person - but allowing them to save the file.

    1) I am having trouble with an excel file wanting to save when no changes were made.  As soon as you open the file and exit.  It prompts for a save.
    All excel versions are 15.0.4701.1002.
    Using a table.
    the functions CELL, OFFSET, TODAY, INDIRECT, NOW, INFO and RAND are not being used.
    2) Same file.   2nd person is being told they are opening the file as read only - but when they are quitting excel prompts them to save the file. 
    Everything was working fine.  I started having problems with Excel, IT wiped my version out and re-installed office. 
    File is on networked server HP - Windows Server 2012 Essentials.  
    We are all on Windows 8.1 Pro.
    I really hope someone can help - the excel expert had no answer - and passed me along to here.

    I copied the whole file and started deleting worksheets one at a time and testing it by closing it and re-opening it then closing it again – to see if it wanted to save. 
    Once all the pivot tables were deleted – the problem went away. 
    I found that some of the pivot tables had automatic refresh upon open, so this caused the excel to think data had changed. 
    It is fixed now.  By clicking on one cell of the pivot table, analyze, options, data and uncheck the 3<sup>rd</sup> square down to not automatically refresh.  NOT A NETWORK ISSUE.

  • Firefox is already running. "Check access rights" - Read Only, revert back and selected automatically!

    I Have follow the steps releated issue "Firefox is already running, but not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system".
    However, issue is solved for sometimes by following steps (1 & 2) but the issue created again. Regarding step 5, I cannot applied it, because when I uncheck "Read Only" it revert back again!!
    Please advise.

  • Security: Read-only for USB and FireWire

    Is there a way to secure the external data ports on a Mac so you can't write to a USB and/or FireWire drive? Obviously we need the SATA / InternalHD to be regular read/write. I've swapped out the optical drive so it is a read-only device, but it would be nice to have a solution that prevents writing to optical media as well.

    I found two links that provide a solution.
    http://images.apple.com/server/macosx/docs/TigerSecurity_Config021507.pdf
    http://images.apple.com/server/macosx/docs/LeopardSecurity_Config20080530.pdf
    I can't find the page(s) that reference these PDFs, so you have to download them directly.
    Within the two documents are information about "removing support for mass storage devices" by trashing certain files (IOUSBMassStorageClass.kext for USB and IOFireWireSerialBusProtocolTransport.kext for FireWire).
    One caveat seems to be that these files may be restored through system updates, so you need to write a login script (script provided in Leopard PDF) to ensure they are removed or simply be aware of the issue when installing system updates.

  • Lion administrator setting changed to read only for file sharing. Now hung machine

    I was trying to network my Mac with a WIndows 7 machine and tried to have my name in the file sharing read write instead of other users such as administrator   when I changed the administrator to read  only for file sharing rights and could not add my name as a file sharing user with read write permissions Really silly move
    I have performed a repair of disk permissions however still hung.
    Whats worse is that my time machine for the last three days has been disconnecting when backing up leaving a partially complete backup. Backup failed. I also left a apple support community message a few days ago to solve it.
    So its critical
    Timely HELP is needed.

    This same problem happened to me, all the sudden one day my mac decided to revert to the original standard root username and password which I obviously did not know. In order to change this:
    1) Activate single user mode on reboot as by pressing cmd + s as your computer starts up. Make sure you do it right away, and keep the keys pressed down.
    2) Where the cursor pops up, type exactly
    +/sbin/mount - uw/+
    3) When the next cursor pops up type exactly
    passwd
    4) Then you can type any password you want (now changing the root password to be what you want)
    Note you will not be able to see what you type, but the text is being recognized
    5)The computer asks for you to retype the password, retype it
    6) Type reboot
    Once the computer restarts you can navigate to system preferences>accounts> and then unlock the account (lock is located on the bottom left corner) using Username: root and the password you just set. Henceforth, you can appoint your account as the administrator. Hope it works!

  • Changing not possible; field is read-only

    Hello,
    I need update Expected Value in Opportunity.
    Expected Value is bound Opportunity.SalesForecast.ExpectedRevenueAmount.content.
    When I try to update in adsl, "Changing not possible; field is read-only" error appears in frontend to the user.
    Thanks!

    Hi Rodrigo Mathias,Not an answer to your post just to share my problem
    Seems Opportunity has a lot of problems. As in my case i am trying to code in BeforeSave method that when ever the opportunity gets create by code i have to poppulate my CUSTOM Invonved Party ( i have created custom party role ).
    And i have passed partykey.partyId.content and RoleCode but when i click on save it gives me the error about Role Category!
    now when debugged that all Parties ( i debugged and checked whole collection) had the Role category every party from that collection had the Role category associated!
    So i tried to add r
    ole category by code! but that is also public write access set as FALSE!
    So finally i again opened the book for clod , and a line is specificaly written that PartyID node will not be used after 1402 there will be separate node PartyNAme where u can pass partyid , name or email!
    but unfortunately that is also not available in the opportunity BO!
    So i am also kind of stuck!
    Btw one thing i would like to mention is when u try to maintain your custom role in opportunity manually it works and data gets saved!

  • All USB drives mount as read only for user

    I have searched a bunch and thee results I find seem to be irrelevant to my situation. Most relate to a single USB media that is a problem and won't read or write.
    On a new Arch install on a new computer (my third base system install). Running Gnome.
    All USB mass storage devices mount as read only for the logged in user. Root has write permissions and I can mkdir no problem. It is not an issue with the USB drive itself as this occurs with multiple USB media (I've tested several SD cards on a reader and at least two drives, all the media works correctly on my existing installations)
    I'm posting the contents of my /etc/group file in case there's an obvious error there I don't see, and my dmesg output upon plugging in the drive. User name is changed in the group file posted to "archie"

    I am also having the same problem. Root can read and write to automounted drives, but my user cannot. I've tried with a variety of drives, I am assuming they are being automounted by root instead of the logged-in user somehow. (I am running x directly, and am not using a display manager, if that has anything to do with it).
    When I look at how it is mounted it is as follows:
    /dev/sdc1 on /run/media/myuser/drivename type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,uid=1000,gid=1000,fmask=0022,dmask=0077,codepage=437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,showexec,utf8,flush,errors=remount-ro,uhelper=udisks2)

  • Can a Column in a Project Plan be set to Read Only for everyone except Admins

    At my company the Project Server Admins create the initial project plans.  We want to add a new column that will designate each task in the plan as Capital or Operational.  We do not want anyone to have the ability to change these.
    When the Project Managers need additional tasks on their plans they will need to copy an existing one in order to have this piece of information pre-populated on their new tasks, since we do not want them deciding what the task should be themselves and populating
    the field as they create tasks.

    In addition to Dale's excellent answer, I'd mention that it is possible to make a column "read-only" for certain security groups in MS Project Pro with VBA code. 
    That being said, I'd suggest to follow Dale's advice using a "soft" solution.
    Hope this helps,

  • How and Where to change ESS payslip property as READ only Mode

    Hi,

    I too added 2nd apple ID when I tried to get Free app from apple store just to get to NONE on the credit card needed. It said it sent confirmation email to my new apple ID email that I have to confirm. Problem is I can not get to the new apple ID email account.  On my ipad it logs into my original email account and I see no where to log into another email account.  If I go to my laptop, the new apple ID I created does not let me log into email where apple said it was sent to.  It did not send to back up email account either.
    Can I log into 2 email accounts on my ipad where it says mail at bottom?
    Can I have 2 apple ids?
    If I created a 2nd apple id to get to NONE on credit card needed, can't I log into it also on another laptop in gmail?
    (won't let me)
    If I used my original apple id I created when I got my new ipad, it will not let me get free app without credit card, there is no where it says NONE needed. I am too new to apple to start with credit cards etc until I get use to it.

  • Howto make created folders/ files from one teacher, read only for other teachers?

    Hello there,
    as an admin @ school I was wondering how to make created folders/ files from one teacher, read only for other teachers?
     - In a 2008domain, created a group "teachers"
     - created a folder "teacher data" where all teachers have read/write permissions
    ideal,a teacher who make's a folder in "teacher data" should be the only oen who is able to add file's to that folder and dele that folder or files. Other teachers may be able to read the content of the folder.
    Is this possible to set up and how?
    many thanks.
    Nico.

    Hi Nico,
    You could set the permissions below to resolve the issue:
    For the root folder "teacher data": give the full control permission to CREATOR OWNER – "Subfolders and files only" and give the read/write permissions to the group "teachers"– "This folder only".

    pRegionStaticId is the region's static Id+
    Note that this code specifically disables only application arrays. Disabled items are not available after submission (and hence are different from readonly) . But any page javascript can modify disabled or readonly items(client side), so you must check at the server side to validate the data.
    You can disable items using
    disableItems('MY_REGION_ID' ,true);and enable them by passing false
    disableItems('MY_REGION_ID' ,false);
