MII Security Issues

Hi,
I am having issues with security on my MII systems.  I am wondering how many levels of security there are on MII projects.  I know that there is the user level security.  I have Admin, Developer, and User roles on the system via ABAP/UME.  I have checked the actions of each of the roles have the following assigned:  XMII_Full_Access, XMII_Developer, XMII_User, and XMII_Read_Only. 
I know that there is transactional security.  But what levels does the transactional security apply to?  Does transactional security apply to project level, a specific folder level, or just individual transactions?
I have heard about template security, but have not found out how to change/modify this.  Help here would be appreciated.
Are there any other security levels that I haven't mentioned above?
The reason that I am asking these questions is that I am seeing the error '<user> is not assigned to a role that can perform this action' much too often.  As I mentioned above I should have full access on MII though my admin role.  I also guess some of my problems have to do with the fact that we aren't assigning the default roles to our users, but instead get permissions through abap roles and ume.  Therefore is there a way to change the default roles that are assigned to transactional security so it doesn't have to be changed every time?
Having Admin (full access) abilities on MII, is there a way to change transactional security on objects that I can't open?  (I'm guessing my roles aren't in the read/write transactional security for the object)
I am currently working on a system that uses MII 12.1.8.28.
I have tried searching through the SDN for this information, but haven't found anything that answers my questions.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I'm new to MII so sorry if this was a simple question.  Just trying to get a better understanding of how security is handled.
Justin

Actions are suitable for granular control of features and specific user 'actions', but were first introduced along with NW's UME in 12.1.  Prior to this the MII related Services were secured by Role(s), just like you can still see with Data Server permissions.
Everything was Role based, which is also why the templates and the customer base would have evidenced in their applications.  Actions were introduced to provide you R/W/D granularity, where previously you were either a Developer/Admin or basic User and if you wanted to provide access to the WB or one of the Admin menu screens it was full access.
The mandate for assignement to the base Users role will give you the blanket level of capability needed to exist in the MII world, but if you want to further restrict actions you still have the option.

  • Other web browsers and security issues?

    Since even an Apple KB article recognizes the need for an additional browser and because of Safari's limitations and problems, I'm going to try switching to another browser (most likely OmniWeb and am looking at Firefox, Shira and Opera also though perhaps not as a primary browser) but I'm wondering about their ability to keep on top of any security issues for Mac? (and how do you keep up with security updates?)
    Though perhaps unfounded, at least with Safari, I feel that Apple has a vested interest in keeping on top of security issues (for Safari and Java) and I can readily find out about security updates via software updater.

    Most of the other Mac browsers have their adherents. They are all good browsers (I have 7 browsers installed to test various web sites and for change-of-pace usage). They all have their strengths and they all have their weaknesses. Only iCab and OmniWeb are still shareware, the rest are now or always have been free (Opera just recently stopped charging for its browser).
    I have settled on Firefox as my alternate browser and I use it maybe just a tad more than Safari, but I do switch back and forth between them. The Mozilla foundation is good at getting security updates out when needed. Firefox has a button on the toolbar to check for updates. One nice thing about Firefox is that you can install free extensions which enhance the features available. I have one to supplement tab features, one to control iTunes from Firefox's status bar, one to help me format messages in discussion forums, and one to block ads.
    I prefer OmniWeb for doing intensive research because of the way it handles tabs in its sidebar, showing me which ones I've looked at and which ones I haven't, and giving me great flexibility in rearranging tabs, which are viewable as thumbnails or text names (I have had up to a hundred or so tabs open in OmniWeb.
    Shiira is good and its fast. I have not checked for updates for a while, but the last time I updated there was still a problem with Shiira kicking you out of logged-in sites when you moved from page to page with in web site. This may have been fixed by now - they were aware of the problem back then.
    Camino is a native OS X cousin of Firefox and is also fast, but is not updated as often.
    I would stay away from Mozilla or Netscape unless you need all the additional modules they have and which take up hard disk space. Firefox and Camino represent the browser module of Mozilla/Netscape. Mozilla and Netscape have modules for email, irc chat, newsgroups, and for creating and editing web pages. Netscape is a branded and slightly customized version of Mozilla and is not updated as often.
    Opera is a nice browser and some use it as their main browser, but I have not seen anything that really stands out for me, but that does not mean it is not worth a look.
    I would stay away from abandonware Internet Explorer.
    As for checking for updates, several of them, as with many Mac programs, now have a menu item that allows you to check for updates. Most of them also announce their updates on both VersionTracker and MacUpdate.
    Happy Exploring.

  • Security Issue with Apple ID

    Today while using my iphone and trying to use facetime for the first time since updating to IOS6, my phone asked me if I wanted to use some email address that I do not have for facetime. What? The message pretty much said that this email address was linked to my apple ID. So I got to work logged into AppleID.Apple.com and saw the email address verified and also saw it displayed as an alternate apple id. Immediately, I changed my Apple ID password and called apple at 1800myapple since that is the number on the website and try to talk to someone that could assist me with this severe issue. Anyway, my iphone went dead and the people on the phone couldn't connect me to anyone because I couldn't give them a serial number to an apple device. I tried to explain to the technicians that this is a problem with my ID and that the alternate ID has access to everything that my Apple ID has access to. Both times the call went nowhere. This is ridiculous. Why can't I talk to a security team? Why is the technician telling me that I can manage my ID from the website, when I know that I am looking at the website and I cannot remove the alternate ID? How did this ID get associated with my account and why did I never receive an email informing me of the change?
    Since Apple has other services and not just products STOP ASKING FOR A SERIAL NUMBER AND ASSIST THE CUSTOMER WITH THE ISSUE especially since it is a SECURITY ISSUE.

    oh man, I know exactly what you're talking about. i have a relatively easy to guess apple id email and everybody in the world thinks it's theirs... but once I turned on two-step authentication, the emails stopped completely.  here's a faq about it:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570
    once i turned that on, whenever they'd want to reset my password, they would get asked for my recovery key, which they don't have, haha!  victory is mine.

    Why would you make a new account?  This will likely cause many problems.  Just get you old account enabled.

    Everything you purchased with the old account will always be tied to that account.  You will have to authorize the computer for that account and you will have to update the apps from that account.

  • Using latest version of fireFox to access Think Central, pages will not load and they say that this is a security issue with FireFox?

    Teachers in our district are supposed to use www.thinkcentral.com with FireFox.
    Some have no problem accessing the lesson plans.
    Most when they login click on a lesson plan and an icon shows up that says loading but never does.
    If you reboot the computer and login you can open a page once but not a second time and no other lessons will open.
    Think Central support says this is a security issue with Firefox.
    I have updated FireFox, all the Adobe, Reader, Flash, Air and Shockwave. As well as Java.
    I have allowed the pop ups to the think Central web site.
    Any help would be appreciated

    Are there any notification icons on the left end of the address bar? If so, please click them to see whether they related to security issues (such as blocked content - shield icon: [[How does content that isn't secure affect my safety?]]) or a plugin requiring permission (Lego-like icon).

  • HFM Security Issue - User can submit a journal by by-passing the approval step even though they are not an admin.

    Hi All,
    I was wondering if anyone could help me with a HFM security issue on HFM 11.1.2.3 we are facing please?
    The problem is that a user can by-pass the journal approval stage and post directly after submitting if Custom4 access control=All is selected.
    If any of the other access controls (None, Read, Promote) for custom 4 are selected, the first two steps of the process are possible -
    input and approval of the journal are possible but final posting of the journal is not and returns an error that says:
    "User does not have the access right to perform this journal task"
    The options I have thought for a workaround are as follows:
    1.       1. Set up a 3rd user called data poster and remove submit journal role from user 1 (data inputter)
    2.       2. Put in place process control and use the various review levels (could be quite time consuming given there is no time left for development)
    Have anyone experienced this before and come up with a quick way of resolving this please? It would be very much appreciated.
    We have two types of users who are associated with groups in HFM and have the appropriate roles assigned to them to complete their tasks,
    they are:
    1. A data Inputter (who inputs base data and journals, who has access to create and submit journals)
    2.   2. A data reviewer (who approves journals)
    The process is as follows:
    1.       1. Logon as Data inputter to submit the journals
    2.       2. Logon as Data reviewer to approve the journals
    3.       3. Logon as Data inputter to post the Journals
    We are using the custom 4 member to identify different adjustment types. At the moment we are able to set it up in such a way whereby Steps 1 and 2 can be completed
    but once it comes back to step 3, we get an error as follows:
    "User does not have the access right to perform this journal task"
    (This error comes about when the access control on custom 4 is set to None, Read, Promote)
    Custom 4 Access Rights looks as follows:
    C4_ADJ01
    C4_ADJ02

    When Custom 4=C4_ADJ01 all 3 steps can be completed but it by-passes step 2 (journal approval).
    For all other Custom 4 we complete steps 1 and 2 successfully but not step 3 due to access issues.

  • Can I create a form that doesn't trigger Acrobat's JavaScript disabled / security issues warning?

    Hello,
    Can I create a pdf that doesn't trigger Acrobat's JavaScript is currently disabled and this document uses it for some features.  Enabling JavaScript can lead to potential security issues.
    I even get this error when I create a blank pdf.
    I'm not using any JavaScript in the form and the nature of the message might tend to be a bit scary to some people since it mentions enabling JS can lead to potential security issues.  I basically want to disable the messaging of a feature I'm not even using.
    Anyone know if this is possible and if so, how I go about it?
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    I too share your frustration!!
    Unfortunately I do not have a complete answer for you.
    From the start I must say that Stefan Cameron has been very helpful (http://forms.stefcameron.com/2010/01/14/acrobatreader-9-3-now-available/), however I have not had sufficient time available to deal with the issue (or find a satisfactory resolution).
    The original post that Srini shared with you related to an XFA form that had FormCalc and Javascript in it. I will now share with you another situation that is closer to your experiences.
    Sometimes where we have a complex solution/form, we often give our users a PDF with instructions and demonstrations. We generate these using Adobe products:
    LiveCycle Designer ES to generate the solution/form;
    Captivate to record the demonstration (.swf);
    Acrobat to package it up in a static PDF.
    The screen shots below are from a PDF that includes written instructions and six Flash (.swf) files. The PDF does NOT include fields/form objects and does NOT include any FormCalc or Javascript.
    One of the big sells in Acrobat 9 was that Adobe had fully integrated Flash (Adobe product, ex. Macromedia) into Acrobat 9. This mean that .swf files could run natively inside a PDF. Brilliant!!!  The website today is still pushing this message, for example:
    Now bear in mind that the following screenshots are from a PDF that does not contain any scripting - its sole purpose is to "inform" the user, "look as good as the work I put into it", incorporate instruction and "multimedia" in a "single polished file" and I should be "confident that my audience will be able to view my work exactly as intended".
    Not so!!
    When the user now opens the form, all looks OK. No warning. They can read the instructions and scroll down to the multimedia (.swf files).
    However when the user clicks on the multimedia, the yellow bar appears:
    I go through the "trust" process:
    And the PDF looks like it is OK, no yellow bar. When I click on the multimedia, it begins to play - yes!! BUT ONLY FOR A SECOND OR TWO AND THEN IT STOPS AND GOES BACK TO THE START - AGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!. I would apologise for shouting, but this is beyond frustration. The work in capturing six screencasts in Captivate, annotating them, publishing to .swf and packaging up in Acrobat has been a complete waste of time. Worse than that I now have several PDFs out there, that do not work. Good advertisement for my business? I don't think so!!
    The document that Stefan provided (Managing JavaScript Execution in the Acrobat Family of Products) does not mention Flash/.swf as being a problem. However I would recommend that you go through this document, as it may help you.
    So, where to now? I don't know. The previous posts and Stefan's responses have several urls that may help. You should maybe consider logging your experiences as a bug (log at Adobe).
    In the meantime good luck,
    Niall
    UPDATE:
    This behaviour (.swf playing for only a few seconds) happens in PDFs where the .swf is inserted as legacy media to run in earlier versions of Acrobat/Reader. In this case Acrobat/Reader is making an external call to Flash Player. Hence the yellow bar. However it does not explain why the Flash video still does not play when trusted.
    If the .swf is added into the PDF as Flash media to run on Acrobat 9 and above, then it works without displaying the yellow warning bar.
    So maybe any feature of your PDF that calls an external resource is likely to show the yellow warning bar.

  • Java IDE Security Issues

    I'm evaluating Java IDE's. My boss wants me to evaluate IDE security issues. I can't think of any issues, or how an IDE can have anything to do with security, but didn't want to sweep it under the rug without asking all of you security experts.
    Are there any security concerns when selecting a Java IDE?

    Yeah, you confirmed what I already knew I suppose.
    Unfortunately, I know nothing if this organization, as
    I'm only consulting. The management here INSISTS that
    security be addressed, but I think it's out of scope
    for Java IDE selection. Thanks!In that context, things like "supports HTTPS and ssh access for remote development" may be exactly what they're looking for. It lets managers say "Yes we considered security in making this purchase, and yes the developers of this tool take security seriously." Doesn't mean that security is ever going to impact the actual use of the product.
    Remember that a portion of any management decision goes to insuring you can show a good-faith effort to avoid problems, when/if they happen down the road and someone's looking for a fall guy...
    Good luck!

  • Possible Mac Mail Security Issue

    A couple of times each week, I'm receiving returned e-mail messages that describe mail that I did not actually send.  The "undeliverable" addresses in the Mailer-Daemon notifications are unfamiliar and involve a different overseas address for each notification. 
    Every aspect of the computer runs fine.  in four years of being a devout Mac convert, I have not seen this type of problem until the past few weeks.  So from my standpoint, the false notifications are just a minor annoyance.  I've been deleting them.  But, I wonder if there could there be a security issue or some other problem?
    Thanks very much,
    Charley

    I am experiencing the same thing and it has just started in the last few weeks also. I get the mailer-daemon messages telling me I have had my emails rejected to people that I don't even know nor do I have anything to do with the message being rejected.
    I am concerned that my computer has somehow been compromised but do not know whether or not this is the case.
    The issue is how do we try to stop this - I read elsewhere that the email password needs to be changed but I am not sure if this is actually going to do anything at all.
    Anyone have a suggestion to stop this?
    Thanks
