Permissions set at USER level

Can I just confirm, that if I open a User within Server settings and I see any of the Global permission tickboxes ticked then these have at some point been set at the User Level. If however, best practice has been observed and users have only ever been
selected against groups then I should NOT see any boxes in any of the Users permissions ticked at all?  Is that correct?
Thanks in advance,
Steve

Steve --
You are absolutely right, my friend.  If you see ANY checkboxes selected in the Categories or Global Permissions sections of a User page, then these selections represent an override to the permissions specified by the Groups to which the user belongs.
 Best practice dictates that permissions for each user be controlled by adding the user to Groups, which makes for a simpler and easier to understand security model.  This is a GREAT question, my friend, and I applaud you for asking it.  :)

  • What is factory default "Sharing & Permissions" setting for User folders?

    System:
    Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2
    MacBook Air (Mid 2011)
    Single User – Administrative Account
    Question:
    What is factory default “Sharing & Permissions” setting for User folders (Desktop, Downloads, Library, Movies, Music, Pictures, Public), subfolders, and documents and other contents?
    I’m thinking the factory default “Sharing & Permissions” for all of the above (except Drop Box in the Public folder) is as follows, but not certain.
    Name                          Privilege
    myusername (Me)    Read & Write
    staff                            Read only
    everyone                   Read only

    Are these also the settings on your Documents folder and the various files in the Documents folder?  Same question for your Library folder?

  • HR: Security Profile at User Level

    Hi
    As HR: Security Profile is not enabled for user level, but sometime we need it for some users. Workaround is set up a different responsibility for the same.
    Also We can go to Application Developer Responsibility and set enable user level for HR: Security Profile option. Is it Ok to do it or this may break the system at some point.
    Suggestions Please.

    Gaurav,
    I am not an expert in this area, but I do not think enabling the profile at the user level will cause any issues. In our site, what we have done is to create a security profile specific to that user and assigned it in the HR module (not sure of the specifics, but I can find out if you are interested) - we did not enable the profile option at the user level as you are wanting to do. SR can provide you with another opinion :-)

  • Data Source Level SRS (SSRS) Issue - Permissions granted to user... are insufficient for performing this operation. (rsAccessDenied)

    I've inherited a bit of a security issue and would appreciate any insight.  
    The bottom line is that I have a user than can run one report from folder "X", but not the report next to it.
    Here is the problem context.  The names are changed to protect the innocent.  Sharepoint is not involved.
    The SSRS Home Folder has Security "Group or User" of "DomainX\SSRS_Browsers"   with Role(s) "Browser"
    "SSRS_Browsers" is an AD group.  The user with the issue (DomainX\UnhappyUser) is a member of this group.
    The user is able to navigate to folder "X" (one level below Home) and run Report "A" successfully.  But, when they try to run report "B", they get: 
    "An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted)  The permissions granted to user "DomainX\UnhappyUser" are insufficient for performing this operation. (rsAccessDenied)
    The difference between report "A" that works, and report "B" that doesn't is that report "B" references a data set from a different data source.
    Both reports reference DataSource1.  The failing report additionally references DataSource2.   The SSRS logs confirm this is where the problem is:
    ERROR: Throwing Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.AccessDeniedException: , Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.AccessDeniedException: The permissions granted to user 'DomainX\UnhappyUser' are insufficient for performing this operation.;
    processing!ReportServer_0-34!c58!07/16/2014-16:45:41:: e ERROR: An exception has occurred in data set 'DataSource2'. blah blah blah
    Both data sources have "stored" credentials with the same AD user: "DomainX\SSRS_Reports".  Both data sources reference the same instance of SQL Server.  They do have different "Initial Catalog" values.  (DatabaseA
    and DatabaseB).  I can run both reports successfully, but I more authority.
    "SSRS_Reports" is defined as a "Login" user under "Security" in SSMS at the instance level.  The Server Role is "public".
    DatabaseA (which is behind the data source that works) has Security->Users->DomainX\DataBaseA_Readers.   This is an AD group, that includes has "SSRS_Reports" as a member.
    DataBaseA_readers (in SQL Server, at the DatabaseA level) is a member of role db_datareader.
    DataBaseB (which is behind the data source that fails) has Security->Users->DomainX\DataBaseB_Readers.  This is also an AD group, that includes "SSRS_Reports" as a member.
    DataBaseA_readers (in SQL Server, at the DatabaseB level) is a member of role db_datareader.
    Does anyone have any insights as to where my problem may be?
    Thank you.  Sorry for the verbosity.  

    Hi Steve,
    After testing the issue in my local environment, I can reproduce it. The Home Folder has Security for "DomainX\SSRS_Browsers" group with "Browser" Role, the folder “X” and Report “A” security is inherited from its parent item, but the Report “B” Item security
    is not inherited from its parent item. In this way, the DomainX\UnhappyUser has insufficient permission to render the Report “B”.
    So, please try to check the Security page of Report “B” and compare it with Report “A” security settings. If possible, we can click “Revert to Parent Security” button to replace all the defined security settings with the security settings of its parent folder
    ”X”.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks,

  • Read all items when when item-level permissions set

    I have a SharePoint 2010 list where the general user population should be able to submit and read only their own items.
    Item-level permissions set as follows:
    Read access : Read items that were created by the user
    Creaed and Edit access : Create items and edit items that were created by the user
    That works fine.
    Now, I have a small group of power users that need read-access to all list items. I can do that by granting 'Contribute' permissions, but I don't want them to be able to modify items, so I prefer granting only read permissions. When I do that, they can't
    see all the items due to the item-level permission settings.
    Is there a permission level that I can use (perhaps a custom permission level) that enables a read-all (and overrides the item-level permission)?

    With these specific settings, there are not. It is possible to do security through obscurity by only showing views that allow the users to see their items and use audience targeting for the others, but that is not true security, so it will depend on your
    requirements.

  • 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

  • Setting Default Url At User Level? Help !!

    Hi-
    After a user logs on .. I would like to point that user to a specific default url .. if I specify the default url at the domain level:
    manage domains
    select domain
    select user tab
    show advanced settings
    delete default url: /DesktopServlet
    add new url
    It works fine when the default url is set at this level .. problem is it then points EVERY user who is a member of that domain to the specified url ..
    Logically.. one would think that the correct approach would be to specify the defaul url for a particular user at the user level:
    manage domains
    select domain
    select role
    select users
    click username
    click user tab
    show advanced settings
    delete default url: /DesktopServlet
    add new url
    However, when this approach is used .. the user is sent to:
    /DesktopServlet
    in spite of the fact that the users default url had been set to a specific url other than:
    /DesktopServlet
    Question:
    Is it possible to set a users default url to a specified url and have it only affect that user?
    If so .. how?
    Does anyone have any recommendations as to how to make this work?
    Essentially .. I would like to create a domain with multiple users and have each user within that domain sent to a distinct and unique url .. how can I accomplish this objective?
    And if it simpy can't be done .. please let me know .. it would be much appreciated .. Happy Holidays .. to all ..
    Sincerely .. jesus ..

    Thanks for your response .. as it is .. I was able to accomplish the stated objective by using the Url Scraper to point each user to a page containing a meta-refresh tag which causes the desktop to appear for a fraction of a second before the user is advanced to the desired url .. sans the desktop and with the secure lock in the right hand corner .. thanks again for your response .. much appreciated .. jesus ..

  • Risk Analysis at user level shows nothing in all 3 views though at role level shows risks of global rule set

    I am configuring ARA 10.1 for a ECC 6.0 plug in development system and facing this issue. Risk Analysis at user level shows no data  in all 3 views though at role level shows risks of global rule set. I am using Global rule set. I generated all risks/functions & using connector group as SAP_ECCS_LG not SAP_R3_LG.I activated common, R/3 & ECCS BC sets. Added integration scenario for AUTH. Run all 4 sync jobs multiple times successfully. My system already has decentralised EAM 10.1 implemented & even used in production as BAU. I have checked at both chrome & IE. The misleading thing is that RFC is also working fine & I can see risks in Risk Analysis at role level & risky roles are even assigned to valid users.GRC is at SP4 & accordingly is the ECC 6.0 plug in. Thanks in Advance. Please  consider it urgent.

    Hi,
    Assign ECC connector to SAP_ECCS_LG group.
    Run the programs GRAC_PFCG_AUTHORIZATION_SYNCand GRAC_REPOSITORY_OBJECT_SYNC) in full synch mode(this might take time so better do this in background). Better do it sequentially.Check the logs of the jobs in SLG1 just to ensure everythings fine.
    Run ARA for a specific user and mention the connector for faster output. Ensure this user has the role with risks.Also as explained earlier check the GUID against user id in table GRACUSERROLE and using GRACROLE you can find out the technical name of the role updated in the table. This should be same as the backend role.
    Then run ARA and while doing so please ensure the selection screen doesnt have any unwanted default inputs. If followed correctly , this should be of help.  I am assuming the role analysis yielded correct risks as configured since this would mean that connector have correct actions and basic config is in place.

    Try this in a TEST instance before you promote it to Production.
    You will need to bounce the application services and enforce the users to sign off/on after setting those profile options.

  • User Level permissions (ACLs) - HOW?

    Dear Expert,
    One more victim of Mackeeper writing to you seeking help...

    However, I am stuck at 2 points:
    1) How User Level permissions (ACLs)? Please guide....
    2) Mackeeper keeps opening pages in safari on its own, whenever I open a new tab. Please GUIDE.
    Please help.....
    Look forward to receiving valuable inputs.

    There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
    You may have installed the "Downlite" or "VSearch" ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
    If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, then you may have an adware variant not covered by the support article. Ask for instructions in that case.
    The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
    This malware is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates
    if it's not already checked.

  • Setting a user defined variable at topic level?

    RH8 HTML
    I want 2 topics to use the same snippet, in this snippet are several variables, and I want to set these variables at the topic level. Because these topics carry the same information, accept for some very minor thing, i.e button names and a screenshot. So I want to single source as best I can.
    Though I cant find anyway to set a user defined variable at the topic level.
    Is this possible?
    Thanks

    Hi Nick
    Well, hoping I don't add any fuel to the fire here, but...
    Version 8 isn't really version 8. Logically, it's version 16! And that probably surprises you. Maybe even frustrates you! But there's even another twist here. From the Adobe perspective, it's version 3. Adobe acquired Macromedia. At the time, RoboHelp was at version X5. Logically version 13. So seeing the "5" in there, Adobe naturally assumed 6 would seem logical I suppose.
    On the Snippet variable thing, I'm thinking you might be able to work around it a smidge by using a bit of JavaScript magick. Define the variable in the Topic using JavaScript and insert some script in the Snippet to dynamically write in the variable content found in the topic.
    Aside from that, probably the best we can all do here is to exercise using the Wish Form to ask for these features.
    Cheers... Rick

  • I'm trying to share folder between users on a single mac.  I put the folder in "shared," set permissions so other user can read and write, enabled file sharing, but can't find the folder on the second user's account.  Any help?

    I'm trying to share a folder between users on a single mac.  I want both users to be able to read and write so the folder stays current on both accounts.  I put the folder in "shared," set permissions on folder so other user can read and write, enabled file sharing, but can't find the folder on the second user's account.  Any help?

    Did you log out of one account and into the other or just used Fast user switching?
    Is the permissions set to anyone?
    When you move data to teh Shared folder is it copied or just moved?
    If copied then it's not a folder both can access, just a way station like a USB thumb drive that things are coped too and off of likely.
    You can run this #5 on each user account to reset the user permissions once they are taken back out of the Shared folder
