Accessing Other user's public folders

I am connected to an ethernet network at my college. Can anyone tell me how I can access other user's folders? I am doing a project with another friend who also has a mac and it would be much easier to simply access his folder for documents than for us to e-mail them back and forth constantly. One more question, does the other computer have to be a mac, or can I access a PC as well.

See if this helps you:

Cant access other users files

When i log in i cant access other users files. a red symbol is on all of the files. if i could get some help it would be great.

future_ortho,
Of course you can't: The file permissions and ownership are set correctly.
Before somebody tells you how, one question: Why look at other people's files?
I'm uncomfortable telling somebody how to invade another person's privacy without hearing/having good reason to do so.

Can I share tags with other users on shared folders?

I have a shared folder that contains research articles. I have been able to set up the shared folder successfully so that 2-3 users can access the folder, add files and delete files. I have also been able to use the "tag" feature which has made it very easy and effective for tagging research articles by multiple categories and for searching for research files by tag/category.
However, what I have found is that the only person who can search by tag is the one who originally tagged the file. Other users of the shared folder cannot search by a tag that another user has created. Is there any way for 2-3 users to share the same tags and be able to edit these tags and search by the same tags? I would prefer that 2-3 people manage this research folder instead of just one.

No. iCloud provides no equivalent of the iDisk; it's designed for syncing calendars, email, bookmarks, contacts, photos a iWork (only, so far) documents between your Mac(s) and iPhone/iPod/iPad. The data is not accessible to anyone else.
For file storage and sharing you will need a third-party solution - this page examines some options:

How do you access other users' apps, files, etc.

I tried to, but it says it's locked. Basically, since my other family uses different keyboard layouts (U.S. instead of Dvorak for instance) I wanted them to please switch to their user. Also I didn't want them to have access to my Gmail (I could sense that they were peaking at it). So I would like to move some of the apps from mine to there with all its passwords saved and then remove the passwords to my personal accounts. We have different YouTube accounts as well so it's a challenge to log out and log in.

I don't have Chrome, but most browsers will import bookmarks from Safari etc. Look for an Import function (probably under the File menu.
If you are looking to add bookmarks from another user account, you need to open the browser from that account and export or backup the bookmarks there. You can then put that file into the users Shared folder where you will be able to access it from other user accounts.
Hope that was clear.

How to access other user's inbox work items?

Hi,
I have to view what all work items are avaialble in a particular user's inbox. How to achieve this?
Is it possible?
-Nick

Hi Nick,
So you would need all the other users inbox items to be displayed in your SBWP rite?
You can do this by substitution. Please follow the below steps.
Go to SBWP of the user whose inbox you want to see.
SBWP -> settings -> office settings -> Substitution -> Add ur inbox in the substitute field and substitute all authorizations .(Check for the End date as well).
You need to follow the same for all the other users.
After this, Log in your SBWP and check if you are able to see all the user's inboxes or not.
Thanks,
Nick S

Can't access old user profile data (folders with - signs)

Hi,
My iMac (model below) running 10.6.8 would not load from the start-up screen, so I reinstalled the OS from the instalation discs. After doing so I was able to gain access the desktop, but had been assigned a new user profile. My previous music, email, photos etc. were stored in a "previous system" folder, and while I can access the overall folder many of the sub-folders have a in the lower corner which keeps me from being able to open/access them.
Is there a way for me to open or move these files? Or perhaps reinstate this "previous user" to the system?
I am further stuck because I purchased the upgrade from 10.4, to 10.6 electronicially and now can't access the information needed to return to that system.
Any helpw would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Scott

Thanks Again Niel, you are super fast!!!
I went to the system preferences and then user and saw that the only user currently was also marked as "Admin". So I tried it again with my photos folder and entered the longer name and password I set up and it worked. What was different was that I changed the Admin name from the "short" name put in the field automatically to the "longer" name along with the password.
Not sure how this going to work with my email or how to get back to my upgraded version of Mac OS, but I guess I can keep playing with it and see.
Thanks again,
Scott

Letting users access other users home directories

Hello,
I am currently setting up an xserve at a school and I am running into some problems. I want to let the group teachers be able to access all of the students home directories. I added to the permissions the group teachers for the users folders, but the permissions do not carry through all subfolders. What would be the best way to set up these permissions in tiger server?
Thanks
Robert

Hi
When sharing a desired folder for automounting networked home directores the default POSIX values are:
Owner: root/admin R/W (can be either)
Group: admin Read Only
Everyone Read Only
Going beyond this folder and you can then view the default attributes for individual folders. These should be:
Owner: the persons name Read & Write
Group: admin Read Only
Everyone: None
This is as it should be and you should leave these alone. In the situation you describe it makes sense to grant Read/Write access for teachers so as students work can be marked and/or assessed. In which cae you want to preserve the POSIX permissions but use an additional permissions model that allows access withour breaking the default permissions.
10.4 Server allows for this as Access Control Lists (ACLs) are available once you enable them for the volume that has the shared folder for automounting networked home folders on it. WorkGroup Manager > Sharing > General. Select the volume and tick the box that says 'Enable Access Control Lists on this volume'. When you have done this, restart the Server. Enabling/Disabling ACLs on any volume should always be followed by a restart.
On successful log in launch WorkGroup Manager, select Sharing, select folder you are interested and and select Access. Below the Standard POSIX model there is a window. This window is where you add desired users or groups (or a mix of both) and define what access they have to the selected folder. At the bottom of this window is a small gear wheel. Selecting this will show a small sub-menu where you can propagate permissions as well as viewing effective permissions. I would suggest you create a year group, add desired teachers to that year group and then add this year group to each desired year folder. Define your permissions and propagate them. You should now have at the end of this the default POSIX permissions for individual student folders still in place and honoured as well as overriding permission for teachers.
Hope this helps, Tony

ACCESSING OTHER USER'S TABLES

I have to access user B's tables, and I don't have DBA previleges.
How can I do that?
Is it B or DBA that should grant me permission for doing this ?

User B has to grant you the priviledges for accessing his/her tables to you.
DBA can do the same to you as DBA has priviledge for all tables.

try these steps.. in sequence..
1 - Grant Execute on Procedure_name to User2
2 - Check the number of Arguments which you are passing in the Procedure (specifically for the non default parameters)
3 - Check whether you passing the parameters in the correct manner or not (position wise)
Or.. if again the error exists do.. post the parameters which ur trying to pass..
Thanks..

Unexpected Access to Other Users' Accounts

I just discovered tonight that I when I search for files, files in other user's accounts on this computer show up. I can open them too, but throwing them away requires that user's password. Searching the internet to see if this is a normal feature, I find questions about how to access other user's files and comments that even administrators cannot do this. Is this normal or abnormal behavior? Fast user switching is not enabled. Does anyone know where solid information can be found about the "barriers" between users' accounts? Thanks.

Ah, thanks, BDAqua. I see that at the user level, each user folder is set to read only. So if the users aren't saving their files in their enclosed "no access" folders, but at their base user level, they are read only. If we set each user folder to "no access", then others would not be able to access the shared folder either. Is there a way to set access priviledges for users on this computer so that they're the same for users on this network? Users on the network only see the "drop box" when they open a user folder.

Migrate Large Items in Public Folders - OnPremise

Hi,
we are currently in the progress of migrating more and more customers to Exchange 2013. Now there is a limit for large Items within public folders. We do know that we have large items and it is OK to wait for the replication to be done but how can we also
migrate those large items?
For instance within the public folder Migration-Request log we find:
15.06.2014 22:28:37 [EXCHANGE] A large item was encountered: Item (IPM.Note) Subject:"MESSAGESUBJECT",
Size: 22.69 MB (23,795,978 bytes), Folder:"PF Folder Name"
Now I'm aware of the switch -LargeItemLimit but with that we will loose those large items. I haven't found any switch to enable the move of those large items - anyone an idea to also get those items moved to modern public folders?
Thanks!

Hi Peter,<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
As I know, if we have too many large items
within the Public Folders being migrated, the migration may fail with error
message like “TooManyLargeItemsPermanentException”. If the large
items can be copies without any issue, please just wait for the replication, I
believe the replication will not take too much time(always be copied within
10-15 minutes).<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
If we have too many large items that can’t
be migrated, please try to set the migrated request attribute “LargeItemLimit”
to 0(0 means it will not lost any large items). If issue persists, since it
can’t replicate so much large items, we need to specify the “BadItemLimit”,
“AcceptLargeDataLoss” “LargeItemLimit" attributes. So please first export
the public folders that have large items to PST file(login Outlook with an
account with access to all the public folders and export the public folders),
then start a new migration request with the “BadItemLimit”, “AcceptLargeDataLoss”
“LargeItemLimit" attributes, it will skip the large items. After that, we
can export the PST file with contains the large item back to the public
folders.<o:p></o:p>

Problems moving public folders for 2k3 to 2k7 migration

Hello,
i'm having problems with moving the public folder from the 2k3 to 2k7, following the steps i've found on mig docs and googling for this issue and i cant seem to solve it, letme detail:
There are only 3 user created public folders, all with contacts, they weight less than a MB combined.
So first thing, iin E2k3 ESM i right click the public folder store and select "move all replicas", it works succesfully.
if i expand the pf store and check replicas i see a ton of system folders with 2 replicas.
i also check every user folder, change the replication to always and urgent and resend changes/synch content from 2k3 to 2k7
Now according to migration documents the "pf instances" should empty by itself after some time....
well it's been a day and in fact i see more items than before on the 2k3, if i expand the instances on the 2k7 i see 4/5 folders, none of the user ones!.
I also ran the moveallreplicas.ps1 script.
if i run Get-publicfolder -recurse |fl name,replicas i only get:
Name : IPM_SUBTREE
Replicas : {}the next step is apparantely to move the public folder "folder" itself from the 2k3 admin group to the 2k7, i can do that and it gives no error but i'm worried that if i decommision the 2k3 that it will all fail horribly.
¿whats going on, how can i move this thing for once?

Hi,
Make sure you have added the Exchange 2007 in the Replication tab list of all folders in Exchange Server 2003.
In Exchange 2003, please increase the logging level to Maximum on the diagnostic logging categories: Replication Incoming Messages and Replication Outgoing Messages.
Here is a related article which can help you for your reference.

CFexchange and public folders

Using CF8, I currently can access mailboxes and folders in my
exchange information store except for folders in the public store.
Does anyone know how to access information in the public folders
using CF8's exchange tags. More specifically a public calendar.
Thanks.

I've wrestled with this quite a bit and the only means I've
found to access public folders is via cfldap. I'm a complete ldap
noob so I'm not sure how to pull records out with LDAP but during
my research I discovered that I can "see" the public folders in AD.
I just haven't figured out how get the UIDs for them.

Unable to access public folders on Exchange 2007 when user mailbox is on Exchange 2013

Hi
I have coexistence with Exchange 2007 and Exchange 2013. I've moved a mailbox to Exchange 2013 and now cannot view the public folders on Exchange 2007. The error message I get is "could not connect to the public folder server. microsoft exchange is
not available. either there are network problems or the exchange server is down for maintenance."
Mailboxes on Exchange 2007 do not have any problems viewing public folders. I can't migrate users to Exchange 2013 until this issue is resolved.
The IIS permissions to the Public virtual directory on Exchange 2007 is set to Intergrated Windows and Basic authentication.

Hi northerly,
I recommend you follow the steps below for troubleshooting:
1. Please run the Get-OutlookAnywhere cmdlet to verify the Outlook Anywhere settings on Exchange Server 2013 Client Access servers.
2. If "ExternalHostName" is set, and "ExternalClientAuthenticationMethod" is Negotiate, change "ExternalClientAuthenticationMethod" to something other than Negotiate.
3. If "InternaClientlAuthenticationMethod" is set to Negotiate, and "InternalRequireSSL" is True, change "InternalClientAuthenticationMethod" to something other than Negotiate, or change "InternalRequireSSL" to False.
What's more, here is a helpful KB for your reference.
Users of Exchange Server 2013 or Exchange Online can't open public folders or shared mailboxes on an Exchange 2010 or Exchange 2007 server

User Access to Public Folders Disappearing (Outlook 2013)

I have one particular user who is losing access to public folders in Outlook 2013. I have found that going to
File > Account Settings > Account Settings > Email [TAB] > Repair... and then following through that dialog temporarily restores public folder access after restarting Outlook. However, once Outlook is restarted
for 30-60 seconds, the public folders disappear again. This is only happening for this one user. They receive their public folder permissions via group membership. Other group members report no such issue. I had another user with identical permissions
log into the same workstation and they again had no issue.
What could be causing this? This is a particularly bothersome problem since this user happens to be the office scheduler and the calendar they schedule on is public (which, thanks to reduced functionality in Exchange 2013, is no longer accessible in OWA).
Tech specs: Exchange 2013 CU5 accessed from Outlook 2013 running on Windows 8.1 Update. Outlook did not log any events during the time when public folders were dropped, nor are there any network connectivity issues being logged.
Any ideas for resolving this?

Hi,
Please check the connection status for Outlook.
Press the CTRL key and right-click the Outlook icon in the notification area, then select Connection Status.
Please run the command get-mailbox administrator | fl defaul* to check the default public folder mailbox for this affected user.
Do you have mail-enabled public folders? If you have mail-enabled public folders, you can check if this user can view public folders in OWA.
If possible, please re-add the public folder permissions for this user to check result.
