Add user in Contribute CS3

I am the administrator of a site and want to add a new user to a role. In CS3 the add a user button is no longer there, just the send a connection key button. That allows me to send the key to someone, but not set up their user name. How do I do that?

"Authorization" is not a context menu item, it's a node in the Navigator tree. Expand your system connection node, then "Content", then "Authorization". Now you can right-click "Users" to create a new user.
Alternatively, you can run SQL to create a new user with modeling authorizations::
CREATE USER my_user PASSWORD My_Password;
GRANT MODELING TO my_user;
(up to revision 18, it would have been:
CREATE USER my_user IDENTIFIED BY My_Password;
GRANT MODELING TO my_user;

  • Can a user with Contribute privileges invoke SPFolder.SubFolders.Add(folder) Sharepoint 2010 API in a Webservice?

    We have a Webservice deployed on a Sharepoint 2010 deployment with a method as follows:
    public static string ensureParentFolder(SPWeb parentSite, string destinationUrl)
    destinationUrl = parentSite.GetFile(destinationUrl).Url;
    int index = destinationUrl.LastIndexOf("/");
    string parentFolderUrl = string.Empty;
    if (index > -1)
    parentFolderUrl = destinationUrl.Substring(0, index);
    SPFolder parentFolder
    = parentSite.GetFolder(parentFolderUrl);
    if (!parentFolder.Exists)
    SPFolder currentFolder = parentSite.RootFolder;
    foreach (string folder in parentFolderUrl.Split('/'))
    try
    currentFolder = currentFolder.SubFolders.Add(folder);
    catch (Exception ex)
    FINEOSLogger.Medium(LoggerCategory.FINEOSToSharePointDMS, "User could not create SP folder so elevating permissions");
    SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
    currentFolder = currentFolder.SubFolders.Add(folder);
    return parentFolderUrl;
    When invoked by a User with only Contribute rights the SubFolders.Add( ) call appears to fail and the
    SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges
    code is invoked, which also fails.
    1. So the first question is should you be able to invoke SubFolders.Add() with only Contribute?  It works with Design privileges for the Customer.  You can add folders on the Sharepoint website as a Contribute user so why not on the API. 
    Customer raising this as a security concern.
    2. Also why would the
    SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges
    part fail, is the syntax incorrect for Sharepoint 2010?  We migrated this code from Sharepoint 2007 project.
    The error I get when I try run the code as a Contribute user is

    Note that the user SPWeb being passed into the method is from an impersonated user, don't know if that matters.
    So the webservice payload contains the id of the user who wants to do the Sharepoint work while the webservice is invoked by anonymous or some other service user.  We then impersonate the user specified in the webservice payload like follows and use
    that web SPWeb from then on in the webservice methods:
    userToImpersonate = currentWeb.AllUsers[user];
    site = new SPSite(fileUrl, userToImpersonate.UserToken);
    web = site.OpenWeb();
    Any help appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Ruairi.

    Ideally, a user with Contribute permissions should be able to add folders. Not sure what is the issue there. But I can see that SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges is not written properly. You must create a new SPSite object inside the delegate
    because SPSite objects created outside do not have Full Control even when referenced inside the delegate. Use the using keyword to ensure that the object is disposed in the delegate. Example:
    SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
    using (SPSite site = new SPSite(web.Site.ID))
    // implementation details omitted
    });See this for more information about SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivilegeshttps://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.sharepoint.spsecurity.runwithelevatedprivileges%28v=office.12%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396

  • My Adim users Contribute CS3 however

    My wed designer uses a version of Adobe Suite that allows for

    will my web designer be able to grant me permission to use the CS4
    on the various web sites she builds and I do the SEO work later
    after the site are up. When i used the trial CS3 about a year ago
    it worked flawlessly,.... but now having to buy CS4 will it work

  • Contribute CS3 not working with Leopard

    Hi,
    Ever since I loaded Lopard onto my Mac - Contribute won't
    connect to any of my websites.
    Says it can't connect 'because the server is down or not
    accepting connections.'
    Is anyone else having this issue - and does anyone know the
    cure?
    I've re-installed - but still won't work.
    Thanks,
    - Greg

    This issue has been reported couple of time in this thread, i
    was able to get the site info twice from the users and for one site
    it was not connecting from the Tiger itself because of the site
    issue and for the next one it was working from the 3 leopard test
    machines we tried.
    We have tested Contribute CS3 on Leopard and it works fine.
    In case if the user is hitting any issue then it is important to
    reproduce it then only we nail it down.
    I do understand that you may not like to give the information
    and for that only the second option is:
    1. One test folder inside the site
    2. One test role and a test user under the same role
    3. Provide the access to the user only to that folder by
    administering the site -> Select the role->Edit Role
    settings->Folder File Access->Only allow editing within these
    folders -> Add the test folder in the list
    In this case i will be having the access to only one
    particular folder which you can very well delete later on.

  • Adobe Contribute CS3 Connection Error

    I am trying to use Adobe Contribute CS3 Version 3.1 to connect our web server.  I can use WS_FTP and WinSCP to connect to it fine.  Our web server is running under CentOS 5.x.  When I try to connect using the connection wizard in Contribute, I receving the following error:
    Contribute cannot verify your connection information. 
    /tmp
    Please  contact your administrator for assistance.
    I have tried both FTP and SFTP.  Again, I can login, navigate to /tmp and upload, download, and delete files fine using WinSCP.  Can someone let me know what Contribute is trying to do to verify the connection?  Is there a log file?  Any help is appreciated.

    When I first tried to connect to our web server, I received a similar error.  What worked for me was getting rid of the folder designation when trying to connect in Contribute (in your case /tmp) and allowing users to have permissions to access all folders on the web server.  I create Contribute roles to limit the users to specific folders.
    I hope that helps.

  • 5 users to contribute content from window based PC's to iWeb site

    I would like to create a website in iWeb '09 which will require multiple users to contribute/publish content, but the other site collaborators do not have Macs, just Windows-based PCs.

    Welcome to the discussions. Even if your five users all had Macs running the same version of iWeb, it would still be difficult for them to contribute content — because iWeb's site data is stored in a Domain file on a Mac. This Domain file would need to be exchanged around the users for updating — which is not very practical for Mac users and impossible for PC users.
    Instead of using iWeb, I suggest using a web-based design app accessible from PCs and Macs. Some of these apps have specific features for sharing whilst others may be sharable by giving out the single username/password to the other users. But this could be problematic if there's only a single email address associated with the username.
    This first one is specifically designed for sharing:
    Backpack
    Google Sites claims to make creating and sharing a group website easy:
    Google Sites
    This one focusses upon "social networking":
    Ning
    ...With Ning you can add tabs and sub-tabs to specific pages and external links via the Tab Manager feature. Mouse-over the menu items at this Ning site:
    http://www.openwineconsortium.org
    And their tab manager:
    http://blog.ning.com/2008/08/a-new-tab-manager-early-next-week.html
    Other web-based design apps are:
    SnapPages
    Yola
    Viviti
    Jimdo
    Weebly
    Sampa
    Wix
    If a sharable blog format is acceptable, you could hyperlink from your iWeb site is to a free Posterous blog. Posterous has "dead simple group blogging by email" where each of your three possible blogs can now have multiple contributers — see more here.
    General info about Posterous blogs is in their FAQ. ...Group members can contribute text, photos, sound and video files, etc. to a Posterous blog simply by email. Plus there is the usual commenting capability plus comment alerts for the account holder.

  • How do I browse directory contents in Contribute CS3?

    Hi everyone!
    I have one of our users uploading photos to our website.  At the moment she uses an FTP connection via Adobe Contribute CS3 to our web server.  This has worked great in the past.  However, at the moment she's uploading pictures to a dynamic website [Wordpress] and not using Contribute to edit the pages directly [as this is obviously done with the Wordpress Administration web panel].  The method she has been using is, within Adobe Contribute CS3, File>Publish File from My Computer.  This is great, but the problem is that she can only upload one file at a time, and if she's already uploaded the file, she has no way of knowing she's uploaded it before, except for that Contribute appends a 001 at the end of the file name.
    How can she access a folder structure within Contribute CS3, treating it like an FTP client?  I'm sure this must be doable.  Yes, I could install an FTP client, but she's very comfortable using Contribute CS3 and uses this application for other portions of the website which are static.
    Thanks in advance for any advice!

    Hi,
         To check if she's already uploaded the file, she can click the Choose button in Contribute. On clicking Choose button, Choose File dialog will be shown. In this dialog, she can browse to the appropriate folder in which she had published the images, and verify the contents.
         For uploading multiple files through Publish File from my Computer, I do not think it is possible as of now. There can be a workaround though, insert all the images you want to a web page, and publish the web page to the website. Then, all the images will be published along with the web page. Then, you can delete that web page.
    Note: The images in a web page, generally are placed in the 'images' directory of the website by Contribute. If you are placing the images in different folder, then, make sure that you change the publish folder for images to that folder.

  • Uploading multiple files in Contribute CS3

    I have a website where I am constantly creating new pages
    almost everyday. I use Adobe Contribute CS3. I began creating
    drafts (all from one template) and saving them for later. Now, I'm
    have almost 200 drafts to publish to the server and the process is
    relatively slow. Is there a way that I can upload all these drafts
    to my server at one time? I found this page on Google (click the
    link)
    http://www.vdsys.com/contribute/answer-addmultdocs.htm
    , but this process does not seem to work for me.Does it work for
    anyone else? I need HELP.

    Thanks Vikas,
    I spotted the multiple file browse button solution from a forum search. I'm trying to avoid it as I don't want to have to force the user to have to step through the file browse process for each file. I'd rather they opened a single dialog (of some kind) and selected multiple files and hit upload once only.
    I Googled the second one as well. Similar problem as above, although, it's getting closer. I found a few examples using a java applet. Most of them I'd need to buy, which I'm not against in principle, just rather find something I can code myself.
    This is what I've been asked for.
    "....Files should be uploadable from a dialog box similar to the one provided in MS Outlook where 1 or more attachments can be uploaded to an email in a single process......[it is] important that the user is able to select multiple files in a single step and are not forced to step through a repetative process for each file....".
    Any help appreciated.
    Cheers

  • Need help installing Contribute CS3

    I'm stuck on reinstalling my Contribute CS3. I've clicked on Local/Network on the question " How do you connect to your web server?" in the connection wizard part of the installation process and have no idea how to answer the next question they ask which is "What is the network path to your web site?" Can anyone help me on this

    I unfortunately can't talk you through the process step by step.. I don't have the same version you're using and cannot reinstall english CS3, nor do I know where exactly in the whole process you're at now. I suppose the install of Contribute CS3 finished and you're now faced with having to create a new connection.
    In order to do so, you prolly have to chose Edit > My Connections (exact names might be a bit off, I am using a German version) from Contributes main menu, then click "New.."
    Where you went the wrong way the last time was by selecting "I am connecting to my website via... Local/Network". Choose "FTP" instead.
    You'll need your FTP login data, if you didn't write that down, you need to ask your hosting company to send it to you.
    You're looking for the following pieces of information:
    FTP host name - usually looks kinda like this: ftp.mysite.com
    FTP user name
    FTP password
    perhaps ftp folder - thats the folder where your "start page" is located, most times this can be left blank however.
    If your site was protected with an Administrator password, you'll need that as well. Chances are your hosting company doesn't know it - it was set by whomever created the homepage and first enabled it for use with Contribute.
    Adobe Support might be able to talk you through the setup process on the phone, but in order for them to do so, you'll need to have the above info at hand before you call them.
    Is it possible that somebody setup your homepage for you and was sending you a Contribute connection keyfile? That would explain why you never had to go through these steps before. If that's the case, it might be easier to ask that person for another copy of the connection key file..

  • Contribute CS3 Requires Startup Password

    I administer 30 or more websites. Have been working with
    Contribute since version 2. Never required that I type in a
    password to open up the program. Yesterday when I installed
    Contribute CS3, and opened it up, it required a startup password. I
    have no idea what it wants as I have never set a password. The
    program is now unusable to me.
    I sat on the phone for 6 1/2 hours yesterday with Adobe
    support waiting for someone to come on to help with this issue. My
    phone battery finally quit. Have also sent out a request for help
    on this issue. No response.
    I am getting a bit desperate as people are depending on me...
    does anyone have a solution to this?

    Make sure it says "Enter Password, please enter your
    Contribute startup password try the following" If this is not the
    prompt you get, other prompts could be asking for CPS or your FTP
    login, so make sure the prompt is what you are getting before going
    any further into this registry fix. If you are not a local
    administrator on your computer you may not be able to make this
    fix.
    1. From the Run command, type in regedit to bring up the
    Registry
    2. Drill into the HKEY_CURRENT_USER >SOFTWARE
    >Contribute 4.1> Security Preferences.
    3. Now select this folder and go to File> Export > and
    name this file something like backupsecuritypref.reg
    4. Once the export is done, right click on the Security
    Preferences, check Permissions, make sure your user name is part of
    the security group. Highlight your user name and then verify that
    you have Full Control to the folder.
    5. Now double click on the blue key Always Prompt for
    StUpPWD, you'll see a value name Always Prompt for StUpPWD. Toggle
    the Base set to Decimal from Hexadecimal, and change the value data
    from 1 to 0 with the.
    6. Go to the next blue key, Require PWD, and do the same
    thing. Toggle the Base set to Decimal from Hexadecimal, and change
    the value data from 1 to 0.
    7. Try to open Contribute again, if it is not opening, try to
    import the backup file backupsecuritypref.reg via the
    registry.

  • Contribute CS3/CS4 books

    Hi all,
    I am looking for Contribute CS3/CS4 books to recommend to some of my end users.   Doing a search on Amazon doesn't really provide much (specifically most Contribute titles are for Contribute 3 from 2003!).   Are there any books out there for use????
    Thanks,
    Randy

    This probably isn't the answer you're looking for, but ...
    FWIW, my end users initially requested books or other resources because they were concerned about how long it would take for them to learn Contribute.  But after giving them a short training where I described the similarities between Contribute and MS Word and showed them the Contribute help screens, the users didn't need anything else.  They occasionally call me with a question, but that's to be expected.

  • Contribute CS3 and CITRIX

    Is it supported to install Contribute CS3 on a CITRIX server?
    If it is supported what are the licensing implications?
    Basically we want to place Contribute on CITRIX so our users
    (who have valid licenses) can use Contribute from home when there
    is an emergency.
    I can't seem to find any documentation here on Adobe's site.
    Can anyone help me or at least give me a good Email address to send
    the question to.
    Thanks,

  • Contribute CS3 Recipient (Names) List

    When sending a Contribute (CS3) draft to other users, how
    does the selection list of users get populated?
    We have created Contribute users (/roles) and provided them
    keys. They are successfully logged into Contribute , but their
    names to not appear on the pick-list for routing drafts. What data
    is used to populate the draft send-to pick-list? Is it derived from
    a file on the web server combined with some other criteria?
    The directory _mm\\ct3beta\WIPMetaData contains users' email
    addressing structure, but nowhere are their equivalent first/last
    names cataloged. Similarly from the Contribute Site Administrator
    account, there is no apparemt way to change what users have entered
    for their names.
    _mm\\ct3beta\WIPMetaData

    By reason of deduction, the list of users appears to be
    populated from directory:
    webroot\_mm\ct3beta\messaging\users\list
    Randomly named XML files in this directory all have file name
    extension
    csi. These files contain the element
    user_full_name. This element's value correlates to the name
    presented in the list. By renaming the XML file's extension to
    something other than
    csi causes the name value disappear from Contribute's list
    of the available names to pick from.
    Why can't Adobe's documentation simply provide the explanation
    of this relationship!!!
