Password security - set permissions for different users

I am using Abobe Acrobat 9 Pro.
In the HELP menu, there is a security section in the contents, In the overview, it states the following:
"Each security method offers a different set of benefits. However, they all allow you to specify encryption algorithms, select the document components to encrypt, and set permissions for different users."
I would like to know how you can set permissions for different users using Password Security.
I am the only one in the company who has Acrobat 9 Pro and all others have Adobe Reader 8.
I have created a PDF file in Acrobat 9, this file is accessible to anyone with Abobe Reader. I would like to set different permissions for different users. For example, i would like certain individuals to print the document and other individuals to not be allowed to print. Can this be acheived using Password Security?
Many Thanks

  • IPhoto Import permissions for different users

    Only the system administrator can import from a camera. I have checked all the preferences and system account details, and all permissions would seem to allow. Whether iPhoto or Image Capture, the camera is only recognized when logged on to the system administrator's account. In other accounts, iPhoto and Image Capture both say "No camera selected" even though the camera is connectedd and turned on. On the SA's account it is recognized automatically. Have two differnt brands of cameras and both do the same.

    First I would try, from each "crippled" user account, to move the respective user's "com.apple.iPhoto.plist" file from the user's Library >Preferences folder to the trash (each user account does have it's own iPhoto Library folder, yes?).
    If you are trying to allow different users to load images to a common iPhoto Library folder, iPhoto was not designed to do that.

  • Business Catalyst access permissions for different users

    Hi there,
    We want to have specific people have access to specific areas of a website we are developing and are considering using BC.
    For example:
    - Distributors will have their own section to access resources such as training manuals, videos and service agreements.
    - Service techs - will have their own section to access resources such as service manuals, instal guides etc.
    How does Business Catalyst allow different people to access different areas? Is it by:
    - Password?
    - People in the database are tagged, so they use their profile to access their own area?
    - other?
    If it is possible, could we be pointed in the direction of how to set this up?
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    Cheers,
    Andrew

    Sounds to me like Secure Zones will do this for you...
    You can create as many secure zones as you like and asign (or use registration forms) anybody to any zone. Ofcourse each zone can have it's own content, theme, etc...
    Here's a good place to start:

  • How can I configure FireFox security setting globally for all users on a PC? Is there something I can do in group policies or throught the registry to insure all users have the same settings?

    Our Bank's core processor has rewritten their product to run in a web browser. Their browser of choice is Firefox 3.6. The specifications from our core processor specify specific security and settings parameters that must be adhered to by all users for their product to run properly. Is there a way to globally configure these settings via the registry or group policies to insure everyone who logs in to a given workstation opens Firefox with the same settings?

  • Hi I have two questions. I am using NAS 4.1 and was wondering is it possible to set a different session timeout for different users? How is the session timeout set? Thanks, YS

     

    <i>I am using NAS 4.1 and was wondering is it possible to set a different session timeout for different users?</i>
    Um, there is no such thing as NAS4.1.
    I'm assuming that you mean NAS4.0 (maybe NAS4.0sp1?). If so, then the session timeouts are specified in the session section of the NTV configuration files.
    AFAIK, you can specify session timeouts on a per user basis.

  • How to set different default interactive reports for different user groups?

    I'm probably overlooking an obvious solution, but how do I set different default interactive report for different user groups?
    For the same interactive report, I want one set of users to see a default where the default filter is based on column X. However, another group of users doesn't have authorization to see that column so I need to set the default filter to something else for them.
    Thanks

    You can set a filter on a report in a URL - would that help? I think with apex 4.x you can also link to a saved default report or alternative report...

  • Pure-ftpd - different permissions for virtual users?

    I seem not to be able to find out how I could declare different permissions for different virtual users. In /etc/pure-ftpd.conf exists one line to declare permissions using
    #umask file:folder
    umask 133:133
    umask matches the numbers to 'UserGroupOthers'.
    Now that virtual ftp users belong to a real existing unix user / group, I wonder who is Users, Group and Others?
    Users = virtual ftp user ?
    Group = virtual ftp group ?
    Others = anonymous visitors?
    How can I tune it, so one virtual user can add files - f.e. to be used by a scan station - while others shall only read, having anonymous disabled?
    This gives me a headache.

    Ok, let me think.  What did I do? 
    I had different users.  User X, Y and Z.
    Then, I had a shared directory above their home directories.
    While in the system, (not in pure-ftpd) I symlinked.
    (Note that doing something in user X's directory, like ln -s ../shared didn't work---I had to do ln -s /usr/home/ftpuser/shared).
    Then, I ~think I played with the permissions on shared and got what I wanted. 
    Then, after a few hours on this, they changed their minds about what they wanted, everyone was allowed to use shared, but different companies had to have their own directories, so I no longer have that config.
    For what it's worth, you can take a quick look at my page
    http://www.scottro.net/qnd/qnd-pureftpd.html
    but I don't think it covers that situation.
    HTH, though I doubt that it did.

  • Webserver - setting permissions for Custom Sites

    Quick q on setting permissions for custom sites default. Default home for custom (non-default) web site is:
    /Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/ 
    and whatever subdirectory you stipulate, e.g. MyServer - or whatever.
    Server sets this as owner:
    drwxrwxr-x   7 root  admin  238 Mar  8 15:34 CustomSitesDefault
    drwxrwxr-x  16 root  admin  544 Mar  8 15:38 Default
    For security, shouldn't the permissions and ownership be changed - to some webamin user WITHOUT root privs? Or will this break Lion Server? Thanks.

    Hello,
    One option would be to disable the automatic Project Site Sync in the User Sync Settings Page, create custom permission levels and groups on your SharePoint Project site template(s) to meet your requirements - make use of default SharePoint groups where
    possible, save the new template(s) and attach the new templates to the EPTs. Then develop a Project Server event handler that adds the users to the Project Site on the Publish event (or what ever event you like). The project owner one is simple - just add
    the project owner to the new SharePoint group, project members - just read the project team and add those users and the visitors just add a domain AD group (Domain Users for example) to that group.

  • [SOLVED] Partition & Access for different users

    Hey guys, I’m kind of lost and need some help.
    Scenario:
    My computer is set up with two hard drives: one SSD, which holds Arch and the /home folder, and a regular HDD, which holds the /var folder and where all data should go on two separate partitions.
    Both partitions are mounted at /mnt/HDD2 and /mnt/HDD3.
    Naturally, they both belong to root. However, since I want to be able to save all my music, games and whatnot on these two partitions I need to be able to access them as a normal user. On a single user system that would be a no-brainer; I would simply change the ownership. However, I plan to have another user use my computer from time to time and thus need to have the partitions accessible not only for one but a second user as well. And that’s where I can’t get things to work.
    First I’ve changed the group for the partition (users) and added both users to the corresponding group (users) but could not write on the partition.
    Then I’ve run chmod a+rxw on the partition. Beside the fact that I think that this is quite an inelegant solution, newly created folders where still only accessible by the corresponding user.
    I’ve also set the SGID-Bit but no dice either.
    Now I’m totally lost. Obviously, I’m missing something but I don’t see what.
    tl;dr: I need access to a partition for different users on a single system so that they can easily save, write and share files between each other.
    Any help appreciated.

    Problem solved.
    I ended up using umask. It's basically a single user system anyway with a second user only using it from time to time and both of us having their own group. So it should be relatively save using umask.
    I've changed the owner and group of the partition:
    chown user1:group /mnt/HDD
    ...and the permissions:
    chmod 2770 /mnt/HDD
    ...and added both users to the corresponding group of the partition:
    gpasswd -a user1 group
    gpasswd -a user2 group
    Finally I've changed umask to 007 for each individual user while leaving the system-wide umask untouched.

  • VBA inserting form fields, different positions result for different users.

    I'm certianly at a loss for wrapping my head around this.
    Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard (v 9.5.4)
    Excel 2010  (VBA)
    The problem:  When I create the PDF document from Excel, I search for a string of text in order to capture the Quads for the containing rectangle.  Then I use the quads to insert a control with numeric offsets.  The problem that I am facing is that the offsets seem to be causing the controls to be in different locations for different users.  For example, when I send (-26, -2, 100, 10) {x-offset, y-offset, width, height}; the control aligns exactly where I want it.  But when another user user runs the exact same routine, or opens the PDF that I created, the fields are no longer positioned correctly.
    Is there some setting that I am missing? EDIT, SOLVED:  My Acrobat had a custom point to pixel setting.  (Preferences > Page Display > Resolution)

    Thanks for the reply, I did spend some time working on this issue...  here is what I found...
    1)  First of all, I did have a custom Points to Inches setting in my Acrobat options...  110 vs 96.   Resetting this allowed for me to see the alignment issue that my colleagues were referencing first hand.
    As it turned out, my results were better, but still had inconsistency among different workstations.  Leading me to..
    2)  The MSFT creator uses the default printer in some way to create the PDF.  Because the different workstations were using different printers, we were getting different results.  If everyone used an HP 1320, nobody would see any difference upon creating / adding fields.
    The final solution was to change the Application.Printer to a common network printer before the export operation, and return the Application.Printer to the user default after the export completed.  This has provided us with a common ground to work upon; we are lucky to have a network printer that can be used for this purpose, as I can see this becoming non-viable in environments where this would be unavailable.

  • Access control for different user groups in APEX 4.0

    Hi guys,
    in Apex 4.0, is there any way to use the access control page to configure access control for different user groups?
    The access control page currently only has an access control list by users with 3 privileges namely, Administrator, Edit & View where Administrator has the highest access level & View the lowest. Therefore 1 user cannot have more than 1 different privilege, however if the user belongs to 2 or more different groups then we can control what access he can have in a more fine grained manner. We also want to have more than the 3 privileges given.
    Can we assign different groups to different users and let them have different privileges to be configured by page, region, process or item level?
    Now Apex will create 2 tables, Apex_Access_Control & Apex_Access_Setup to store the application access control mode & access control list. It will also create 3 authorization schemes "access control - administrator", "access control - edit" & "access control - view" based on the 2 tables.
    Does this mean we have to change the table structures & edit the authorization schemes to suit our usage? We are reluctant to do this because if we upgrade to a newer version of Apex then we would have to merge our pl/sql coding with Apex's updated code.
    How can we auto-configure more than the 3 authorization schemes in the access control page? Is there any way to achieve a finer grain of access control based on the current access control administration page given by Apex without writing it ourselves?
    We are afraid that we may have missed something on Apex access control & do not want to reinvent the wheel.

    Hi Errol,
    to build your own application authorization scheme around the security model supplied by Apex for administration of the Apex environment would be a bad idea.
    This was never intended for authorization scheme management in custom built Apex applications, it was solely intended to control access in the Apex environment overall. The API for it is not published, and making changes to it, such as adding more roles, would run the risk of breaking the overall Apex security model. It would not be supported by Oracle and Oracle would not guarantee the upwards compatibility of any changes you make in future versions of Apex.
    In short, you should follow Tyson's advice and build your own structure. As he indicated, there are plenty of examples around and provided your requirements are not too complicated, it will be relatively simple.
    Regards
    Andre

  • Creating 2 address books for different users?

    my wife and I don't want to login as separate users on the powerbook, but we do want to be able to import and synchronise our address books from our palm PDAs and keep the addresses separate. So far it seems that we would merge the addresses into the "all" group the first time we synch. Is there a way to set up 2 different users?
    your help appreciated to keep my partner happy!!

    No there isn't.
    In order to do so, you must create a login user account for your wife. She will have you own Home folder/directory which will include her Address Book contacts, email account or accounts in Mail, etc.
    You can enable Fast User Switching which makes the process of switching between user accounts a fast and easy process.

    Hi,
    We had the same issue, and in my opinion it is caused by the parallelisation of sapcar during SUM phase PREP_PRE_CHECK/SCANDIR_EPS0
    I did see several parallel SAPCAR jobs running during this phase.
    So what happens when one job extracts SIGNATURE.SMF at the same time another job tries to finalize its extraction by setting the permissions for /usr/sap/trans/EPS/in/SIGNATURE.SMF?
    It can happen that permissions are being set at the same time another sapcar yust deletes this file to begin extracting.
    Since we had 146 SAR archives that needed to be extracted, a retry allways ended up in 4 to 12 conflicts.
    What did do the trick was adding
    /sapcar/extrcact_parallel = 0
    to the file
    ../SUM/abap/bin/SAPup.par
    Just as Christoph Langer suggested.
    We had to restart the whole phase, a repeat was not enough to solve the problem.

  • Sharing files for different users on same computer without duplicating

    Newbie here, I got my 1st mac (in ten years) last week and have been really enjoying it. I set up 3 user's accounts and wanted to share files such as iphoto and itune for all users. So I put my pictures in the shared folder, however, when I opened iphoto in each user's account, I had to import all the photos for every user, which resulted in duplicated files on each user's folders. I have tens of thousands of photos and don't want redundant files eat up my hard drive space. For this reason I'm holding off sharing my itune files.
    I'm wondering if there's a way to allow access for different users without making duplicates.
    20 in. imac   Mac OS X (10.4.8)

    Preferably only admin can edit/import
    Well this makes things very easy and is the way that iPhoto is intended to share. In your Admin account, go to iPhoto -> Preferences -> Sharing and enable Sharing. Note that you can share an entire library or just individual albums. Leave iPhoto running and use Fast-User Switching to move to the other Account(s). In Launch iPhoto and go to Preferences -> Sharing and enable 'Look for Shared Photos'. The main library will turn up in the Source (or left-hand) pane of the other iPhoto.
    Remember that for this to work, the Admin account must be logged in and iPhoto must be running there.
    I don't really care as long as there's no redundant files.
    Define 'redundant'. You do realise that iPhoto is a database, with built-in image viewer, lightweight editor and version control. Version control means that if you modify a photo then iPhoto makes a copy, including the changes, and keeps the Original. This way you can always Revert to Original from the Photos menu. Many people switching to iPhoto are confused by this at first. If you don't want version control I strongly suggest using a different app. There a many, many image viewers for the Mac.
    As to your point comment about One-Touch DVD. I'm not familiar with that piece of Software, but every DVD (and CD) that you burn is assembled on the HD first, then burned. That assembly is a cache file and should be trashed on completion.
    As to disk space: you need to keep about 10 gigs of space on the Start-Up disk for Virtual memory, Temp files and other OS uses. If you do get an external at some point in the future it is possible to run both iPhoto and iTunes from it to free up space on the internal. Just check the help or post back to the relevant forum before moving them. It's not difficult, but there is a procedure that needs to be followed.
