Multi-user access control

User #1 opens a PDF on a server and starts making changes.  User #2 opens the same file and starts making changes.  User #2 for example can create sticky notes and make lots of comments.  When User #2 tries to save his changes he's denied as User #1 opened the file first.  Is there a way (like with MS office) that User #2 will be warned when opening the file that his version is read-only?
Thanks!

Sorry, no.
Acrobat/Reader do not have their own file locking system (as Office does), so they have no idea that another user is accessing the document until they send the operating system a 'save' instruction, and get an error saying it's not allowed.

  • File structure and Multi-user access/control

    Hi All
    Currently evaluating RH. Our plan is to use RH HTML with RoboServer and either SourceSafe or Team Foundation for source control. We will be producing the "printed" manual (PDF) and publishing online help (hopefully html via RH server) from the single source layout
    Given that we will edit content in RH's XHTML editor, I'm not clear on when we should create new files or the granularity of multi-user access. We have 17 apps and I plan to use a master project and merging (because we need to link to related topics in other apps).
    I'm really not sure what should constitute a file in RH. First off, is access controlled at the file level?
    I want to have multiple authors editing the same manual at the same time, so do I need to break the manual into multiple small files (currently it's a single word doc)?
    If I do break it into multiple files, what's the best approach: 1 file per topic (or is this a requirement)?
    Finally, when I come to generate the PDF, will the files be combined. (i.e. can I have different page-breaks than I have in the RH project)?
    Any pointers greatly appreciated
    Regards
    Mark

    Hi,
    First off, is access controlled at the file level?
    Not sure what you mean by that. In source control, you can check in/out ever file independent. Sometimes dependent files will be automatically checked out, for instance images used in the css when you check out the style sheet.
    I want to have multiple authors editing the same manual at the same time, so do I need to break the manual into multiple small files (currently it's a single word doc)?
    That be the idea. Anyway, it's not a good idea to have an entire RoboHelp project in a single topic. You probably want to cut up your contents into the small chunck: topics.
    If I do break it into multiple files, what's the best approach: 1 file per topic (or is this a requirement)?
    In RoboHelp a topic is a HTML file. RoboHelp doesn't force you to split up content into one or more topics. If you are creating help for the web, you want the information to be organized in relatively small chunck so users can quickly scan through it.
    Finally, when I come to generate the PDF, will the files be combined. (i.e. can I have different page-breaks than I have in the RH project)?
    Not sure what you mean by page breaks. As RoboHelp creates HTML files, there are no page breaks such as in paper manuals. When you create a PDF, you combine the topics you need into a single document.
    If a PDF is required for you, you may want to consider not using RoboHelp for your sources. A PDF created by RoboHelp is useful for internal use, but it never seems to get good enough to give to customers. Personally, when a PDF version of a manual is required, I create the manual in FrameMaker and link or import the book into RoboHelp. You can also link Word documents, so you may want to play around with that before deciding whether to use Word, RoboHelp or FrameMaker for your source.

  • ESYU: R12 - Order Management를 위한 Multi Org Access Control(MOAC) setup 방법

    Purpose
    Oracle Order Management - Version: 12.0 to 12.0
    Information in this document applies to any platform.
    R12의 Order Management에 대핸 Multi Org Access Control(MOAC) setup 방법에 대해 알아본다.
    Solution
    일반적인 MOAC Setup:
    1. HRMS에서 Security Profile을 정의:
    a. HRMS Management responsibility 선택
    b. HRMS Manager> Security> Profile로 이동
    c. Security Profile이 정의되어 있는지 확인 (OM responsibility 혹은 Site level로)
    d. 만일 아직 setup 되어져 있지 않다면 Operating Units를 입력
    e. 저장
    Note: 만일 위 d step과 같이 새로운 security profile을 생성하였다면 concurrent program 'Security List Maintenance'를 꼭 실행해야 한다.
    그렇지 않으면 multiple operating units가 OM forms의 LOV에 나타나지 않을 것이다.
    이 program은 multi-org access를 validating 하기 위해 사용하는 table에 data를 생성한다.
    Navigation: HRMS Management> HRMS Manager> Processes & Reports> Submit Process & Report> Security List Maintenance
    2. MO Profile Options setup:
    a. MO: Security Profile - 이 profile setting은 MOAC functionality를 활성화 한다.
    b. MO: Default Operating Unit - 이 Operating Unit는 OM forms과 report에서 default가 될 것이며, 이를 clear 하거나 변경하기 위해 LOV를 사용할 수 있다.
    Keep the MO profiles in sync:
    MO: Security Profile은 site와 responsibility level로 setting 할 수 있다.
    MO: Default Operating Unit은 site, responsibility, user level로 setting 할 수 있다.
    Application이 원하는대로 동작되지 않는것을 발견하면 이 profile options의 setting 값을 확인한다.
    3. OM setup:
    R12 upgrade 시 OM Profile에서 migrate 된 새로운 OM System Parameters를 확인:
    Order Management Super User> Setup> System Parameters> Values
    (See <<NOTE 393646.1>>-R12 Readiness Cheat Sheet: Migrated OM Profile Options)
    4. Form에서 hidden field 'Operatin Unit'를 활성화시키고 default folder로 저장:
    Sales Order and Order Organizer forms
    Quick Sales order and Organizer forms
    Sales Agreement forms
    Pricing and Availability form
    Other forms
    Note: Sales Order form에서 hidden field 'Operating Unit'를 'Show' 하기 전에 fotm안에 이 field를 위한 공간을 만들어 놓아야 한다.
    예를 들면 Customer Number field를 짧게 하거나 Operating Unit field로 이 field를 덮어씌울수 있다.
    Reference
    Note 393634.1

    Hi Larry,
    Have you considered adding the exec apps.mo_global.set_policy_context call to your connection's start-up script?
    Tools -> Preferences -> Database -> Filename for connection startup scriptNot the most flexible approach, so I'm not sure if it is appropriate for your application, but just a thought. You might create distinct connection names with different start-up scripts for each org_id.

  • Multi user access in Single application file

    Hi,
    Is it possible to work Single application but multi-user access in Indesign CS6.
    If yes, Please let me know how to access.

  • Multi-user access?

    I would like to switch over our organization's website from blogspot to iweb. Right now, several of us have access to the blogspot site so that we can all post. Will I loose multi-user access if I switch to iweb? And, if not, will everyone have to have access to my personal mac account in order to post?
    Thanks for the help.

    Having multiuser access requires that everyone share the Domain file where iWeb keeps its data and that each person only use the latest version of it. Of course each user must also have a Mac and iWeb installed as well. Personally I would stick with blogspot.

  • Adobe with User Access Control

    my User Access Control off - is there some solution to this? I was

    However, this did not help the problem; I did everything

    Everything else followed just the way the details explained they
    would so I figured it should have worked.
    My main thing is, this is my laptop and I'm the only user so
    I should have Admin. privileges without any of this to begin with!
    I check my user settings and it is set at "Administrator
    Privileges." This is making no sense; I have had this computer
    three years and I went through this one other time but I cannot
    remember how I fixed it - this time I am being wise and saving
    everything in a note however, that's only going to help if I ever

    Can anyone help?

  • Multi user application control data access

    Dear all,
    i am using Oracle Developer Suite 10g and database 10g, windows xp plate form.
    i want to develop multi user application regarding education.
    i have two questions.
    1. i take a start from creating an HR database which have 30 tables.
    this database has 10 users.
    the users will log on from their own schema.
    how they will access the HR schema?
    should i create a public synonym for each table in the HR Schema?
    or should i create a view for each table in each user schema?
    or should i grant select,insert,update etc to each user on HR schema?
    2. i want to control the data access for each user.
    i.e. every student could access his own academic record. each teacher access his own related record, the manager the owner and so on.
    how to accompolish this task? oracle roles are not sufficient for this purpose.
    Your help is highly appriciated.

    How about you start with the basic stuff, like the 2 days developers guide:
    http://www.oracle.com/pls/db112/to_toc?pathname=appdev.112/e10766/toc.htm
    and make it to the advanced developers guide:

    and everything else which sounds interesting to you in here:

  • Trying to access Lion server remote using multi-user access, but from a legacy Leopard system

    Just purchased a mini server running Lion, and got screen sharing working fine from my legacy system (32-bit so Leopard only). However, I would like to run in multi-user mode, so someone can use the Lion system and another person can access their own account, from the older Leopard system, at the same time. Using multi-user rather than screen sharing. But Leopard does not have the option on the Finder/Share Screen command, the pop-up window to select screen sharing or new virtual session. So, is there a way still to run a new virtual session from a remote client running Leopard?  Since the multi-user capability resides on the Lion server, it should be possible, but how, without the pop-up menu?

  • More than 1 user access control of vi via web browser

    Hi all,
    Currently I've a vi that need to share it with other PCs using web browser (eg: IE) I've tried using Web Publishing Tools and I noticed that only 1 pc at a time can grant access control of the vi. May I know is there any methods or other 3rd party software that could possibly able to give multiple PCs to control one vi simultaneously over the net using web browser? THANKS!!!...

    Hello,
    I’m not so sure that using VNC or remote desktop to have
    multiple users control LabVIEW is really in-line with our license policy.  I suppose if you built your program into an executable
    and had the VNC users access the exe program they wouldn't really be using the development
    environment so I suppose this would be ok…
    I found a tutorial which might help.  Check out: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/conceptd.nsf/webmain/bc79065d8b2e0d0886256c590072a454.

  • Authenticate users & Access Control

    Hi All,
    (First apologies if this is not the correct forum)
    I'm hoping someone can give me a little help or advice on
    options available to me.
    Using flex2 I have built a fairly simple flash app that
    currrently has two panels,
    panel1- this presents data in a datagrid which connects to a
    mysql4.x db via amfphp1.9.
    panel2- this presents textinput boxes and a submit button
    (data is submited via php script to the myqsl db)
    NB: All my users authenticate via LDAP (novell edirectory)
    & there are two kinds of users (Teachers & Students)
    What I want to know is:
    1- can I allow my users to login to the flash app via their
    LDAP usernames? (if so how could I do this)
    2- can I assign different rights to the users? (e.g. When a
    teacher logs in they get access to view & input data, &
    when a student logs in the ONLY have access to view data)
    NB: I work in a school so I don't have the budget to buy CF,
    FDS. I also do not want to use the userbase in the mysql db, as
    this would then require me to maintain two userbases (e.g. LDAP
    & MySQL) hence twice the workload.
    Any help or suggestions to best approach this problem would
    be greatly appreciated.
    TIA
    Danny

    that was my instinct exactly, we do have an LDAP here however this application has a max of 3 users roughly with one as a supper-user, so im not sure if its worth using the LDAP API at present
    i am tempted to build and access control page initially, however we are all new to APEX here and were a little worried about security issues mainly because of the nature of the information we are holding this time.
    thanks for your thoughts on the matter

  • User access control and WebStart

    I'm considering tools and utils for a new project and WebStart looks like it could suit our needs just perfect.
    Just one little question:
    If I have a system with multiple applications controlled by WebStart, is it possible to restrict user access?
    I need to be able to present different selections of applications to different types of users, is this possible to configure/code for WebStart?
    Thankful for pointers

    At what point do you want to treat different users
    differently (like allowing access to different apps)?
    Possible points could be:
    - at the webserver level (different download pages,
    that are access protected)
    - different Web Start application caches (as far
    as I understand under Win32 all users share
    one cache - but this seems subject to some
    property configuration in WebStart)
    - within the application (the app expecting different
    license keys, passwords or such)
    - within Web Start (Web Start utility asks for password,
    this could be achieved by writing a custom jnlp
    client - think openjnlp as example
    http://openjnlp.nanode.org/)
    I think the first two options are not useful, as
    users might get the application somewhere else
    and just copy it onto their box - this is also
    true for the last option.
    So I would put access control into the applications
    themselves.

  • User access control

    We need to control access to certain application functionality in our system.
    We are currently using the application users' role(s) to decide whether access is granted to for instance view products with a value greater than £100.
    The role which allows access is therefore hardcoded within the application.
    With an increase of users and also restricted functionality access within the database, the number of roles and its complexity is growing. We need to replace it with something else.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?

  • Will Lightroom help with multi user access to library in OSX 10.9?

    I just bought my first Apple gear. iMac and iPads for family. I downloaded some photos to the iMac via iPhoto and tried to allow other users to share the library. This caused major headaches. Prompts to repair permissions constantly appeared, even after permissions were changed. After a visit to the Apple store for a One to One session, it seems that the OS cannot provide this simple functionality (in windows I simply changed folder permissions and it all worked, access granted).
    In OSX 10.9 I have to create a disk image, move the library there and add tweaks to auto mount the disk image volume on startup;

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1198
    I have a NAS for backups, so buying another external HD I don't need is a waste of money. Surely there must be a simpler way for all users of our iMac to have access to the photo library. I thought it would be a simple folder permission issue.
    Would using Lightroom instead of iPhoto to download and organize my photos and videos solve the problem or is the problem due to the way OS 10.9 works? Would Lightroom provide the same quick sharing functionality with links to Facebook and local email apps etc? Thanks.

    Thanks all for the input. I now have a partitioned external HD. One partition for my iPhoto library and one for Time Machine. All users can now view the photos without being prompted for permission repairs every time iPhoto is launched (amongst other errors, my head is still spinning) . I will backup the photos on the external HD to my NAS.
    I have no photos stored on my iMac's HDD, because it just doesn't work. Allowing access to the library when stored on the iMac's HD across multiple users was a headache that a senior Apple phone support tech struggled with for almost 2 hours (using remote access to view my system), and still the solution fell short. The man was very patient and friendly. He was also knowledgable. Everything he directed me to do made sense. We went around in circles setting permissions for almost 2 hours. It didn't quite work. Still had users being denied access.
    Seems crazy, but having no photos stored on my brand new iMac is the best solution I can come up with. Glad I didn't spring for the SSD.

  • How to set up multi-user access for an email account?

    Hi,
    In our business, we run 3 macs with Mountain Lion and use Mail to access our IMAP account. Each of us needs to be able to respond to and see incoming/outgoing messages on our respective computers. Unfortunately our mail provider doesn't like concurrent connections. What kind of application can we use to synchronize this account so everyone sees the same thing on each computer? Any suggestions appreciated.
    I should note that we actually have 10 e-mail accounts which all need to function this way, but in the interest of simplicity let's consider we have just the one. Because we have 10 accounts, we can't use iCloud sync, nor do I want to because I don't trust it. I'm looking for something bulletproof and ideally locally stored.

    I use Dreamhost and have been happy with them. There are probably a few hundred companies with similar services, although Dreamhost is one of the largest. It is pretty standard practice these days to have either Google or Microsoft transparently hold e-mail services. Exchange has definitely won the e-mail protocol wars. Basically just pick one that uses Google or Microsoft.
