AE 5.1 - User provisioning issue - new user provisioned at end of request

Hi All,
re: AE 5.1 - User provisioning issue - new user provisioned at end of request when AE Config is set to NO
We have an interesting issue. An Access Enforcer Change Request was initiated with the incorrect userID (the userID did not yet exist in the system) and that Change Request flowed through and made it to the end of the path. At the end of the path, it created a new userID (since the incorrect one was entered). However, we have the following AE Config:
Auto Provisioning - Status: Auto Provsioning Type: "Auto Provision At End of Each Path"
Auto Provisioning - Change Request: Create if user does not exist: "NO"
Any ideas as to why the new userID was provisioned even though we have it set to "NO"?
We are on AE v5.1, SP4.
Thanks in advance!

Gary,
Similar kind of issue.,
The Change User BAPI works differently than we normally think.
It wipes off everything and reassign the modification.
This I figured it in one of my implementation. You try add some roles to the user it wipes off all the roles and reassign the roles along with the new requested one's.
The client is also in SP4 still they have issue.
Will that not be good, AE checks for the ID before it actually submits the request.
Thanks.
Note : The issue mentioned by you doesnt exist in AE5.2

I transferred data from my Macbook Pro to my Mac mini but it forced me to make a new user for my old data. How do I transfer my music, pics, and docs from the "old" user to the new user (so that I only have one user instead of 2?)

Unless you transfer the files from Setup Assistant, Migration Assistant creates a new user with the data.
To transfer the files to your first user, you have to log on this new user, and copy all your files to /Users/Shard folder. This is a folder where you can put the files you want to share between two or more users, and all users can read and write in it.
After copying the files, go to your first user, open /Users/Shared folder, and copy the files to your user folders. If you migrated applications, you must know that they are stored in a common folder (/Applications), so you don't have to transfer them. To open /Users/Shared folder, open Go menu (in the menu bar) > Go to Folder, and type the folder

Office 2011 will not open in OS 10.9 with main user -- works with new user. Suggestions??

Office 2011 will not open in Mavericks with main user -- works with new user. Suggestions??
I've tried removing Office 2011 completely and re-installing to no avail.

Unfortunately, my experience with Office is that somethoping will get corrupted in your account that prevents it from running. I have never figured out what exactly needs to be removed to make it work again.

Restoring keychain & other user files to new user

My HD died & Apple is replacing it. I have recent backups of my Keychain & other user settings on my iDisk that I want to restore when I get my Mac back (5 days to put in a new HD!)
The new user & password that Apple is setting up on the new HD is going to be different than on my defunct drive, so I'm wondering if I'm going to run into problems restoring my backups to a new user name.
Are there specific steps I need to take to have the old files usable by the new user?
thanks

Create another new account, same as your old account, why not?
Nothing preventing or stopping you.
Most defunct drives can be reformatted with zero-all option and might still work, unless it really was a hard crash (rare) and the head "dived" into the platter or something.

Repalce old user ID with new user ID in Org Plan

Hi,
I have a requirement. In our company, we have different type of user IDs for permanent employees and contractors.
Whenever the contractors postion gets confirmed we will create a new user ID for that person.
Now this new user ID has to be updated in the SRM org plan.
As the user's old user ID is already assigned in the org plan and at the same time user have created lot of shopping carts, we want to replace his old user ID with the new one so that all the shopping carts will not get deleted.
Basically I want to know, how to unassign the user ID from business partner and assign a new user ID.
Is it possible to replace like that? Please advise.
Thanks,
SS

Hi,
I noticed a feature in txn: BP --> Relationship
In the relationship category, I could see two categories: Replaced by, Is replacing. Not sure what is the exact functionality of that.
Do any one knows about that feature? Could you please advise me on that field?
Also, Is it possible to change the validity period of BP or user assignment ?
Will the above two resolve my issue?
Since user has created many shopping carts and user needs access to those SC with his new users ID, I would like to confirm with you before taking any risk.
Please help.
Thanks,
SS

Can I migrate data from "old" user account to new user after clean install?

I've just done a clean install of Snow Leopard on a MacBook Pro (I erased system drive before install). I've upgraded SL to 10.6.2 using a generic administrator account. And I have an exact bootable clone of my old data (SuperDuper backup on external drive).
I don't care about migrating all my old software; I'll reinstall it. But I would like to migrate system preferences, mail accounts, iCal calendars, and keychains etc. And some silly part of me wants to REname my username. (Also: I can't use Setup Assistant or Migration Assistant because some part of the old image has Microsoft Entourage hooks in Mail and MobileMe that I want to get rid of.)
So here's my question: if I create a new account with the NEW user name I want to start using, can I STILL then copy over my old data? I don't know which of the below stuff has my old user name embedded in the data. Here's the list:
Your data in ~/Documents
~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder)
~/Library/Calendars (copy the whole folder)
Also in ~/Library/Application Support (copy whatever else you need)
~ /Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder)
~/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder)
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist *This is a very important file which contains all email account settings and general mail preferences.
~ /Library/iTunes (copy the whole folder)
~/Library/Application Support/Safari (copy the whole folder)
~/Library/Application Support/iMovie (copy the whole folder)
~/Pictures/iPhoto library
~/Music/iTunes
~/Movies/iMovie
Thanks for any input! I know a lot of people here have done clean installs, so I appreciate anything you can share.

what exactly do you mean by that? you can use Migration Assistant to migrate your user only (no applications). that should most likely suffice and i don't think Entourage will be a problem. you'll have to delete various entourage folders in your documents folder afterward if you don't plan on using it anymore.
So here's my question: if I create a new account with the NEW user name I want to start using, can I STILL then copy over my old data?
yes, as bdmarsha said, your user name is not mentioned anywhere in your home directory.
I don't know which of the below stuff has my old user name embedded in the data. Here's the list:

Creating a default User account for new users

Today I tried creating a default setting for and account that could be used for all new users. I did web searches after web serches and not luck. In the old systems it was simple, but Mavericks made it difficult. But after much hair pulling and putting several suggestions together it is just as simple as it was before.
Step 1 Create a new user account
Step 2 log on to that account and set it up totally, that means background picture, preferences, dock, everything
Step 3 click on the home incon in a finder window then go to Finder view select view options and at the bottom check show library
Step 4 go to HD>system library>user templates, you will need to select the file, Command I for info, unlock the lock, click + at bottom select your admin account, give youself read write permissions, go click on the folder you wish/need to change and get info and repeat the step above for each folder.
Step 5 replace the library folder and any other you wish to change with the one from the new account
Step 6 you can also place any documents on the desktop or document folder and replace them
Step 7 create a new user account and verify that the settings and dock are correct.
This takes about 5 minutes or so and is much easier for the non pro

I don't always understand how things can be different from one computer to the other running the same systems and following the same steps but I have 2 iMac's and the steps above for the desktop picture worked on one but not on the other, go figure. So as a fix the default picture was named Wave in the Desktop Picture folder so I changed the name of it to Wave1 and renamed the new photo Wave, did not change the alias in the CoreService folder, now the second computer creates and new user account with all my perferred settings and background picture.
As a recap of my orginal post by creating a default user account, setting up the preferences for finder, and setting up the dock, I simply replaced the preference folder in the User Template file and it works perfectly. Remember that you can do the same with the Document folder or the desktop if you want to place them for all new users.
Since I am not a professional computer person I do not feel comfortable using the terminal or scripting so this works very well for the common person to create a new user template.

While starting my iMac after new hard drive installed, I created a admin user, I then pulled over a backup from an external hard drive that brought over the previous admin user settings. Need to merge to old user with the new user

I had to replace the hard drive in my iMac. Upon initial start up, I created a admin user name and password. Then I connected a WD external hard drive that had a back up of my orginal HD. Upon running Migration Assistant and pulling over the back up I found it pulled over the ORIGINAL user & security information from the original hard drive. In order to see iPhoto or iTunes libraies I must sign on to the "Old" user.
I want to Merge old and new users into only 1 user or delete the original user however need to have the iPhoto/iTunes libraies accessable by the "New" user.

Your best bet is to start over, by restoring your entire system to the exact condition it was in. Otherwise, the transferred user account probably won't have permission to its backups. See the pink box in Problems after using Migration Assistant for an explanation.
See Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #14 for details on how to do the restore.

How to move all info from original user identity to new user identity

I bought a new printer and had some problems. In the process of 'fixing' the problems with the help of HP tech support I have since lost the ability to print from my original printer. I have found that I can print from a new user identity to both printers, so I'm figuring the easiest way to fix this problem is to physically transfer everything I have on my original user profile to a new user profile so that my printing problems are fixed. I can print to the new printer from the original user profile. So if there is a way that I could fix it so that I can print to the old printer that would be even better. But I've given in to the fact that I'm going to have to delete the original user profile and use a new one.
If any one has any tips on the easiest way to do this with out losing anything I've aquired that would be greatly appreciated.

I'm just taking a wild guess here but: the situation you described sounds like there is a problem somewhere with you original user's settings, probably in your ~/Library Folder. If you really were to transfer all of your old users information to the new account, including all files and settings there is a fair chance that you would also import whatever the problem is on your original account.
So you should as you said either try to fix your old printer in your old profile so both work there or transfer only your data files such as the Music, Pictures, Movies and Documents folders from your original home directory to the new home directory. You could also import the ~/Library Folder in bits and always make sure that you can still print but that would probably take as long as finding the problem in the original account. I hope that helps amking a choice which way to go.

Automatic Default User settings for new users

Hi,
When creating users in SU01 , the settings in the default tab is mapping to the original standard. Is there any way to make the settings so that the new users created with the required settings?
Thanks and Regards,
Vimal

As far as i know this is a standard setting and if you copy any user then you have option to select the default tab and it will copy the data from existing user but while creating it will pick the standard setting only.
Check this thread also. It seems useful

Can someone guide me please.

but system priviliges, object privileges did not get copied to userB.

Best method to move "previous system-users" to the new user folder

I was doing an Archive and Install of a current 10.5.8 system because of problems with the "usr" folder showing in the root listing of the hd folders while booted from this same hd. I knew that wasn't a good sign.
Anyway, it failed saying that the previous Users could not be moved into the new OS's User folder and they would be placed in the "Previous System" folder.
I have updated the newly installed OS to the latest Apple updates.
Now I'm wondering what is the best method to get the User folders (with lots of data) from the Previous Users folder into the new Users folder so that all the data is recognized.
Thanks in advance!

Just drag contents of the previous Home folder to their respective locations in the new Home folder.
Do not simply drag the entire Home folder into the new /Users/ folder. Just the content of the old Home folder, i.e., Documents, Downloads, etc. The system may prevent you from replacing some folders, so you will need to move the contents of those folders.
Oh, and see this: How to get files from a previous home directory after Archive and Install.

Migrating User files to new User ID on New Mac?

I bought a new iMac for my work to replace a PC.
I am planning to try Migration Assistant on initial Start Up of a new iMac, and would like to migrate mainly all Mailboxes & folders, Calendar, Contacts. I had planned to do this from the office PC but that has never worked apparently due to all the endless safety restrictions in the Windows PC.
While I don't have everything on my home Mac, I do have the last year's work mail accounts, the calendar and contacts, which I set up manually.
I know that on initial start up, the new Mac will ask if I'd like to migrate files from another Mac. I would like to name the new computer a totally different name than my home mac (like "OfficeMac")
My question is: If I migrate on initial set up from my current user on my home mac (my name) to a new user name (office), will I still be able to move all the mail, folders, etc and access & use them or is the system going to think permissions for these are only for the old user (my name) from the mac it migrated from???
Many thanks

Okay - in case this helps anyone else. This totally worked. On initial set-up it migrated everything, however it does not ask you to create a new User Name, but it migrated all my stuff including the accounts.
I did not want my account name used, just the same mail, calendar, etc. So....
While there seems to be a lot of postings saying you cannot change the name of your User Account, I don't know why, because you can indeed.
You have 2 choices:
You must be logged in as an Admin on another Login (I already had 2)
Choice 1
You go to System Preferences>Users
Unlock the lock,
Highlight the User you want to change
In the area called "Full Name" just change the name!
This however will not change the name of the home folder which is also what I wanted. That is a little more involved but this absolutely worked:
Choice 2

I am running Mountain Lion on a new iMac (Oct 2013) - I have no idea if this works on anything older.
Good luck and thanks!

Copy queries from old user id to new user id

Hello,
We have a new userid standard. One of our power users has quite a few queries created as discovered using table RSRREPDIR.
Her new id copied all her favorities from old id to new.
However, she cannot change the old ones since they are under her old id. The only way is to save as to her new id and modify.
For most users, this is not a problem but this particular user has several hundred queries.
Is there a tcode that will mass copy the queries and replace her old id with her new id?
Also - on her old id she had created several folders where she had all her different queries. WHen her new user id was activated, her old one was deleted. We reactivated it but I believe the folders may have been deleted in the process. I am not sure if they are stored anywhere?
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Lynda

Hi Lynda,
You can achieve this by changing the reporting authorisation of that particular user as to the new user id should be able to change the queries made by the old id.
Check for the authorization object for that user and make the necessary changes
Hope this helps,
Cheers,

Can't copy user folder to new user (account)

I tunes would no longer open-- would only lock up with the beach ball spinning when I tried to boot it. Mac Genius said that the software was corrupted and need to create a new user. Here's what he said to do which i did...
At the suggestion of Mac Genius... I copied my whole user folder to an external harddrive. Then I created a new user. Logged in under the new user and deleted the old user. Then (logged in under the new user) I copy the user folder from my external hard drive to the system drive. It gets almost competely done copying and then gives me an error message that it can't be copied. I can't put the exact error message right now (at work) but can post it later. Any suggestions on this? This is keeping me from running i-tunes as well as moving forward with several projects.
At this point I am just thinking another trip to the Mac store...

Hi Micah,
Where you trying to copy the whole User folder into your Home folder or into the Users folder?
Did you do any Disk maintence first?
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Tiger Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it finishes.
