Accesing Home folders of other users via an Admin User

Hello all, the macs at where I work are divided into two hardrives a Mac HD and a Media Drive where all video projects are to be save. Some people continue to save to the Mac HD causing the computers to crash. I am trying to look through home folders via Go Home > MAC HD > Users > Username > Movies when i reach the restircted folder.
How can This be changed?

Select the folder you can't access in the Finder and choose Get Info from the File menu. Under Ownership & Permissions, change the owner to yourself and group to admin, set the permissions so that the group has Read & Write access to the folder, and then change the ownership back to its original setting. This should not be done on items outside of account home folders.

Creating users via the admin console

Hi,
I'm trying to create a user via the admin console. The user will have to
authenticate via Membership, and will require a username and password.
However, when creating the user via the admin console it does not allow you
to specify a default password (or by using the command line 'ipsadmin create
user /domain/user.xml', unless there is some XML field specified in the file
to do that? If so, what is it? Specify an attribute in the
"iwtAuthMembership-password"?) After creating a user via the console, I
tried logging in using a blank password and a password the same as the
username, but neither worked. Is this password set as default to something,
and if so to what?
Also, is there some existing means for a user who has already created a
membership account to change their password? If not, then I guess I will
have to develop some code to modify the "iwtAuthMembership-password"
attribute.
Thanks,
Mark

Hi,
After you have created the user via the console, then the user will be added to a particular role.From the console go that particular domain and then to the role under which the user was created.Then select the Users link you can see the users list.From that list select the user for whom a password is needed,then it will lead you to a screen where you can see a link named Authentication.Expand that link and click on the Membership link there you can enter the username and password for the user

How to view / edit other users subscriptions to reports via report admin user ?

Is there a built-in GUI means or power tool to access a list of all the users' subscriptions to reports in SQL 2012 ?
It seems that report admin can only view his own subscriptions, same as any other user via "my subscriptions", but no found option for report admin user to view or manage susbcriptions of other users.
How would u recommend to view the list of all the subscriptions to reports in SSRS, and as necessary to
also manage them ?
p.s. Is there a GUI for this in SQL 2014 ?
Thanks

Hi moital,
According to your description, you want to access a list which contains all users subscriptions and edit them. Right?
In Reporting Services, we have a table named "Subscription" in the ReportServer database. It includes all the information of each subscription. Please go to SQL Server Management Studio and try the query below in ReportServer database:
select c.UserName,b.SubscriptionID,a.ItemID ReportID,a.Path,a.Name ReportName
from Subscriptions b inner join Catalog a on a.ItemID=b.Report_OID inner join Users c on b.OwnerID=c.UserID
It will return us each subscription with corresponding ReportName, UserName and Path:
Then we can go to the Report based on the path if we need to edit the subscription. We don't have build-in GUI for any version SQL, but this can be a good method to get the list of subscriptions.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Best Regards,
Simon Hou

Problem allocating service packages to users via delegated admin

I've created a custom service package using the sample templates. Upon assigning this newly created package to a user via Delegated Administrator I receive the following message "cannot create user - all service packages of this type have been allocated". Problem is I've made about 200 available and the stats for this package show 0 used. Please advice.

Authorization for User Creation for Admin user

Dear All,
We have Cronacle 6.0.2.
We have a requirement where in we want to create an admin user with all access to Redwood (in order to avoid using SYSJCS). We have and created an admin role with which our criteria is almost met. After assigning this admin role to our newly created admin user, everything work except user & role authorization. I am not able to create, delete or alter any user or role with this user.
I have seen that we have the oracle system privileges related to user and role authorization (create user, alter role, etc), but when we are trying to assign the same to the admin user, its not allowing us to do so. We have tried the assignment using sysjcs from both RWE and from the shell using the SYJCS, RSI users.
How can I achieve this? with which user?
Any pointers on this would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Warm Regards
Rajeet

Hi Rajeet,
This is because SYSJCS has the privileges to create users and roles in the database, but not the right to actually give out these privileges to other users.
For that, you need a user with the DBA role in the database, or with the "create user" and "create role" privileges "with admin option". A user with the admin option on a privilege can hand out this privilege to other users.
If you don't have any own users with these privileges yet, the SYSTEM user will work as well.

Anton.

Multi-user system, non-admin-users get "error 46" when downloading quicktim

Thanks in advance if you have some idea about where the root cause is.
Error message:
"Error 46: Could not load or find the QuickTime ActiveX control."
Context:
- WinXP SP2 fully patched (as of 06/20/2006)
- Multiple users: 1-Admin, all others a member of the Users group
- Simple File Sharing is enabled (this problem does not change when this option is disabled)
- iTunes 4.9.x and QuickTime 7.1 installed
- Programs have been uninstalled and reinstalled several times, with no change
Symptoms:
- All system users can view quicktime movies when they are embedded in web pages.
- Administrator can launch quicktime and view *.mov files, all others get Error 46 (see above) when attempting to launch quicktime or double-clicking on .mov files
- File association properties (under Contorl Panel | Folder Options | File Types) shows .mov opens with QuickTime Player (deselecting this displays WMP as the application)
- Users Browsing to a directory where .mov files are located, displays the WMP icon instead of quicktime (as under folder options)
This all used to work. It appears that this became broken in the last month or two, after either patching XP, or installing QuickTime 7.1 to gain H.264 codec functionality.
Is there a guaranteed way to force system wide file assoc that is reliable?
Is there a tool that parses the registry and displays what activeX controls are in use for a particular system operation?
Thank you!

Fixed this using http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/Regmon.html and regedit.exe.
On my system, found that non-admin users were being denied access to these registry keys:
HKEYCLASSESROOT\QTOControl.QTControl
HKEYCLASSESROOT\QTOControl.QTControl.1
fix (both): add group users: read
That's because the non-admin accounts are members of the "users" group on my system. You may need to adjust this to match what is on your system.
Regedit can modify these permissions (but don't do it unless you are confident you can recover if you cause a problem). An easy fix, once the problem is identified. Some of you have already figured this out already.
Use regmon to get comfortable with how it works, make sure you grok the filtering, it's your friend.
Modifying the registry at your own risk. Remember to use a registry backup utility! I used http://www.fixregistry.com/download.htm "Registry Healer"
All non-admin users are operational at this time. I did not have to update iTunes and H.264 content works!
So it looks like this is a bug in the QuickTime 7.1 installer? Anyone have any insight about why this is happening with some regularity (at least according to the message board posts I'm seeing this month...)
Maybe the info is some help,

Moving home folders of existing users

Small office, 4 users so manual file moves or individual user settings updates arent a problem.
My question is, how do I go about moving the home directories of our users from one hard drive to another? My thought is just copy their existing home folders to the new location. Make the new location an automount and a home folder location. Then go into WGM and change each users home folder to the new location. Is this going to work? Anyone foresee any issues? Has anyone done anything like this?

Just wanted to post the outcome of this for posterity. Here are the steps I took.
1. Copy off the user home folders
2. Unmount and unshare the user folders
3. Create the raid array
4. Copy all the user data to the raid array
5. Set up the shares and automounts, setting the userdata folder to automount for home folders
6. In WGM, making sure the url for the home folders was appropriate. Since the new sharepoint name matched the original sharepoint name for me, I didnt need to do anything.
7. Updated the ACLs for each user. These were all erased during copy.
Thats it, users were able to log in again. However, one unexpected thing is that iCal shared calendars stopped working. Users are seeing an error when they log in saying their shared calendars are not online. I dont even know how to go about fixing this. I made sure permissions were correct on the shared calendar folders...

AD home folders and Tiger

Hi,
I have integrated 10.4.8 and Active Directory so single sign on (SSO) works. These are just development servers in the production environment the company I work for has a single 2003 AD domain. I will manage the computers and servers is one organisational unit (OU). As I do not have control of the users to change the setup of the home drives from the default location which is configured centrally by other admin persons and I have a mixed environment of OS X and Windows XP, I would like some information on:
1) The best way to automatically setup other home shares on our servers for staff who login to the computers in my OU.
2) As we have around 20,000 users in the company but only around 3,500 need access to home folders on our servers, I need some way to only create home folders on our servers for only those users when they login to one of our computers for the first time NOT everyone in the company.
3) Is it best to have all user home folders (PC and MAC) on the 10.4.8 server, or is 2003 capable of hosting OS X home user folders, and if its best to have all user home folders on the OS X server what is the best method of creating them.
Thanks,
Regan.

Changing user profile attributes via the admin console

Hi all,
I created my own login module (like the existing Membership module) which
extends the Login class. It works just fine, and can create user profiles
and allow people to log in. When I log into the admin console and try to
bring up the user profile to edit the attributes for this module [Manage
Domains->(domain)->(role)->Users->(user)->Authentication(authentication
module)] it displays an error stating 'This profile contains no data which
can be administered.' It also does this when I create a user via the admin
console. I know the profile exists (the user can log in, and doing a
'ipsadmin get user (user)' produces the profile). In the login module XML,
all the necessary attributes are set as "userConfigurable=TRUE" with the
right privileges. Looking at the Membership module as a template, I saw it
puts a configuration file in the '/opt/SUNWips/locale' directory which is
used apparently for editing the profiles created by this module. I made a
similar one for my module, but the same error occurs. Does anyone know what
I am failing to do?
Thanks,
Mark

Hi,
After creating your own Authentication module You have to import your "iwtAuth[NewModule].xml" to the profile server.
You can find a sample file for Membership module
" iwtAuthMembership.xml" at "/etc/opt/SUNWips/xml".
Modify "iwtAuthMembership " in the above xml file with "iwtAuth[NewModule] "and import the
"iwtAuth[NewModule] .xml" using
# ipsadmin -import iwtAuthNewLogin.xml
and restart the server.

What is the "admin" user in EAS Console?

I am still relatively new to Planning and Essbase. I am trying to figure out the relevance of "admin" user in the Essbase Administration Console. My colleague and I have seen several instances of this admin user in EAS console but it doesn't appear to represent a "live" user. We have also seen references to "admin@native directory" in the Essbase and EssbaseODL logs. In the last couple of days, we were unable to run a script that automatically backs up a database because this admin user was performing a spreadsheet operation. We were able to successfully force the admin account off via the console but we know for a fact that no one else is logged in.
Below are excerpts from the Essbase log. Please see the text in red.
Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Admin user is a administrator user or a super user in essbase .Admin user has full permission to access the entire system which includes all users and groups.Admin user has the rights to create users Perform dataloads,write and execute calculations,delete users
In your log i can see admin user was active and doing some operations. EPM11hypplan user has forced admin user logout of server.I guess you have set up EPM11hypplan user which has same privilege of admin user to run process.Also check if any particular job process is run via admin id .

How to add/invite users to your admin console

I have read the FAQ regarding this but there is no option to invite users under the 'Admin Users' section as it states in the FAQ. I have WebBasics plan but it states I am allowed to have up to 3 users yet there is no way for me to invite these users. Also if I can not add any users is it possible to change my email for this account as I actually made the website for a client.

Hi,
The option should be located within the admin panel via Site settings -> admin users -> invite.
If you are not seeing this please provide the site so we can investigate.
Kind regards,

How do I move an iPhoto library between two users (secondary user to admin user) on the same mac?

Hi there,
I accidentally created a second profile for myself on a mac some time ago in a migration and am now starting to move all my files from the second profile to the admin profile.
I want to move my iphoto library from the secondary user to the admin user but I don't know which file to move.
Is it as simple as copying the iphoto library in the pictures directory to the shared users drive and then copying that file over to pictures directory in the admin profile?
What if there already is an iphoto library under the admin user? Should I uninstall iphoto, then copy the file over and then install iphoto?
What is the best way of doing this?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Philip

Is it as simple as copying the iphoto library in the pictures directory to the shared users drive and then copying that file over to pictures directory in the admin profile?
Yes.
What if there already is an iphoto library under the admin user?
Are there photos in this Library? If not, overwrite it. If there are then you'll need to rename one of the libraries to prevent overwriting. Then you can use iPhoto Library Manager to merge them
Should I uninstall iphoto, then copy the file over and then install iphoto?
No.

Non Admin user can cancel the time machine backup an Admin user started?

Today I had to do a new time machine backup but as it was running the user was switched to a non admin user but that admin user was able to terminate the backup that Time Machine was running since the panel showed up on their screen. Why is that?

Barney-15E wrote:
I wouldn't think it was a bug. If I was a user trying to get something done that was processor intensive, I'd like to be able to stop the backup. As the admin, I wouldn't think missing one backup was a big deal.
The o.p. didn't seem to agree.
I'm not sure what I'd think in that situation.
But it could easily be allowed, for those who want it -- just put the TM icon in the other user's menubar before locking the preferences panel.

Set the ACL with API by non-admin user

Hi experts,
We are enhancing the file upload functionalities with setting the readers of the documents. The upload user is not admin user but he can have the full control or permission owner of the folder, but we found he can't still setting the ACL of the documents he created in the folder. While if he has the admin role, he can setting the ACL successfully.
Can the permission owner be inherited? Or any other way to achieve this? Urgent! Any helpful anwser will be reward, many tks!!!!

Hi,
If you are doing it with API, always post the code.
Did you check the logfile for exception, also post them.
Is the current user permission owner of the folder/file?
If not he cannot assign permissions/ACL.
Check this for more:

Inheriting permission owner:
If you save permissions on folder/file, the system stops inheriting permissions for the object in question.
But already inherited ACL exist on the folder/file.

EBS 11.5.1 - Problem creating user with NO APPS user

Hi everybody.
I am working on an EBS enviroment on demand that we are trying to set up for a Colombian customer. We are trying to set up the connector between Oracle IDentity Manager and EBS and it is not working.
After some test cases we figured out that the main issues are related with the privileges that has the user that is going to interact with the EBS DB Procedures. In fact, we are trying to call this procedure:
declare
user1 varchar2(50);
owner varchar2(50);
begin
user1 := 'USERNAME';
owner := '-23432';
fnd_user_pkg.CreateUser(user1,owner);
end;
IF WE RUN THIS SENTENCE OVER APPS USER (THE EBS ADMIN USER) IT WORKS. HOWEVER when we try to use the OIM user it throws the following error:
Unable to create user USERNAME due to the following reason(s):
Oracle error -1031: ORA-01031: insufficient privileges has been detected in FND_WEB_SEC.VALIDATE_PASSWORD..
ORA-06512: at "APPS.APP_EXCEPTION", line 72

ORA-06512: at "APPS.FND_USER_PKG", line 1034
ORA-06512: at line 1
We already checked the FND_WEB_SEC Package (that has the VALIDATE_PASSWORD function) and it looks like the problem is when it calls the function VALIDATE_PASSWORD_JAVA wich tries to validate the password with a Java task. It looks like the OIM user doesn't have privileges to access this remote java function.
Anyone knows wich is the real problem and how can i solve it??
Many thanks for the help
