Air and admin rights

Hi there,
I'm looking into the possibility of porting my regular web
application to an AIR application to make use of some of AIR's
offline capabilities. I see in the forums that admin rights are
needed to install the AIR runtime - this is a bit of a showstopper
for me. Can someone please let me know:
1. Is this still the case with AIR 1.5?
2. If I were to package AIR myself and deliver it to my
customer in a CD, would I be able to customize the runtime and get
around this issue of the user needed admin rights to install the
runtime?
Sean

The issue isn't with AIR, but with the rights of the
currently logged in user. If that user doesn't have permission to
install applications, then they can't install
any applications, including Adobe AIR applications. So, no
matter how you approach it, if the user has to install anything but
doesn't have the rights, it's just not going to happen.

Adobe Air and Admin Rights

Hello all,
We have an air app in our environment our developers created. Most of my users have the air app installed. Periodically the developers pushes out updates and my end users are prompted to update to the new version. But since my end users aren't admins on their local machines they can't perform the update. I have to login or runas my self with admin rights so they get the update. Is there a work around other than giving them admin rights?
Thanks

Networked 1312 and Admin Rights

Hi,
Recently all of our users had their local admin rights removed and now no one can scan through the network unless they log off and log back in as local admin (which is a pain of course). I've tried a few different things like installing the software from a folder where they have full rights but the scanning will not go to completion without admin rights. You can't install with Run As and if you try to scan with Run as it will not let you have access to the file
Any workaround for this?
Thanks!

I can't do a **** thing and have been hunting and trying everything I know to fix
Please describe in detail all you have attempted to do in order to resolve the issue.
Actually - from the day I recevied this newMac I had trouble simply FINDING WiFi - opening a WiFi interfae panel - entering any info to log on to a Wi-Fi home network already set-up and working previously - etc
Did you call Apple tech support? If not, why not?

WebDAV only available to users with Homefolders and Admin rights?

Dear Community,
I am having trouble to setup WebDAV on the lion Server. I am able to login as an Administrator as well as an OD user who has admin rights as well as a home folder. If a user is missing one of those two things then s/he is not able to login to WebDAV. Does anyone know how to give access to OD users who don't have a homefolder or at least don't have admin rights?
Thanks already

Got it to go for about 300 student accounts and works for a no-home user if I define the sharepoints access for that user both in file sharing and in file permissions in Finder.
You should be able to set up a normal file share like a dropbox with the proper permissions, engage the webdav with the "share with iOS devices" and then be able to access it.
So for example, I created a folder on the server called Dropbox and gave it permissions for a certain group to access either in Finder or via CLI (you could use individual users also). Then go into Server App, create a file share of Dropbox and enable "share with iOS devices". Ensure that the user has access on the file share too.
If you enter https://yourserver.com/webdav/ via your device (or your computer via finder / go / connect to server) and authenticate with the non-admin user, you should be presented with the shares that they have access to. I can also go https://yourserver.com/webdav/Dropbox/ to mount the dropbox directly.
I have found that sometimes you need to restart web on Server app (or sometimes the whole server) on the server to show the new "share" in its current configuration. You should also see your shares listed at /etc/apache2/httpd_webdavsharing_sharepoints.conf or /etc/apache2/webdav_sharepoints.conf.
Hope this helps

Time Machine Buddy and admin. rights

There was a fix I used in Snow Leopard to allow a non-admin. user to have
access to the log file. Now that I'm running Lion, I need to make that change
again.
Can't find the note I made, and don't see any tip on it here.
Senor Pondini? Por favor?
Thanks

Installation Server and Windows 7 - Admin Rights Issue

Here is a good one. Completely reproducible error when granting Local Admin Rights by the LSH Service.
For those with SAPGui Installation Server (SAPGui 7.20 Patch 6 or above) ... try this on a Windows 7 SP1 front end when you are NOT logged on with local admin rights.
1) Open the Windows RUN dialog
2) Type path to your installation server\setup\nwsapsetup.exe
3) You should find the install wizard starts (granting local admin rights) as expected.
NOW TRY THIS
1) Type path to your installation server\setup\nwsapsetup.exe /uninstall
2) You will find that you get a dialog about can't grant admin rights. Un-install will abort.
This only appears to happen with the /uninstall switch! Using /product= for example it will still grant admin rights.
BIZZARE ...
I've opened a Customer Support Message (Friday) priority - MEDIUM have not heard back from SAP Support yet.
Bob

Jude,
Thanks, it looks like that note has been getting a lot of update activity lately because the newly released Patch 8 has nwsapsetup.exe as version: 8.6.1.62 and that version also has the issue with the /nnnnnn switches.
I do have to say however, that this issue with nwsapsetup.exe and admin rights (requiring SapSetup.exe_Patch) first appeared with the release of Patch 6 for the Gui. It was fixed for WinXP (I had a customer support message opened on this). So why didn't anyone also test on Win7?
Who is QA-ing these software releases?
Patch 8 had the same problem.
The change log for SapSetup.exe_Patch, is up to 8.1.6.70 now.
How are we in large enterprises to feel comfortable deploying any of this?
End of rant ....
Bob
P.S. I really appreciate your presence here ... the tech assigned to my formal Support Message on the matter still has not gotten back advising of the updated release of SapSetup.exe_Patch.

CS4 without admin rights

Can someone tell me what will happen if CS4 production premium is installed and admin rights are removed? Please don't just tell me "it won't work" I need specifics. I have to test a system like this because our IT department is not letting anyone have admin rights anymore. I know the specs call for admin rights but why? What happens if you don't have them.. SPECIFICALLY. If there is something that doesn't work, is there a way to make it work? This will be running on a XP 32 bit system too. I know.. get a different machine. My hands are tied unless I can prove that I don't have the functionallity to do a project from start to finish AND there are no work arounds.

I know Encore won't burn DL disks without running as Admin.
Never tried it with PP.

Admin Rights for Adobe AIR apps

Which Admin rights are needed on a system to install a .AIR file on a system? In our Enterprise scenario users do not have Admin rights on the system. And whenever user tries installing an AIR app an error is thrown for the same. I want to know what are the least (Admin) rights that we need to give to a user on a WindowsXP system so that he can install air apps?

Hello,
Unfortunately, there isn't a simple answer to this question because AIR isn't in complete comtrol over the full set of files and registry keys touched during an install - we rely on Windows Installer for that. However you can find additional information about this at:
Does Installing an AIR Application Require Admin Rights?
What are Administrative Rights, Anyway?
You might also want to vote for this idea: Installation of Adobe AIR apps without having administrative privileges
Hope this helps,

Thank you so much!!

On Mac OS, to install or update an AIR application, the user needs to have adequate system privileges to install to the application directory (and administrative privileges if the application needs to update the runtime). On Windows, a user needs to have administrative privileges.
IT administrators can install AIR applications silently using standard desktop deployment tools. For more information, see "Enterprise deployment" in the following page:

Adobe air admin rights installation error

so i just bought town of salem on steam, and i need adobe air to run it.. but i cant seem to install cause it needs admin rights and i contacted windows to verify that i do have all the rights. any ideas/tips?

I'm sorry you're running into installation issues with AIR. Microsoft has a utility that can help resolve installation problems. Would you mind giving this a try and let us know how it works for you? When running the Fix it, go through the uninstall process and try to remove Adobe AIR from your system. Once finished, download the latest version of AIR and install again.
Microsoft Install and Uninstall Fix It
If you still encounter problems, we'll need to review the AIR installer log to better diagnose the issue. Please post back with the log contents. You can find instructions for finding these logs here:

Just got new air and trying to set up. When I put in my Apple ID and password it comes up with error message 'can't sign in because of server error. Try again signing on.' Trying again does not fix. I know my ID and PW are right as work on other devices.

Great tip Stephen!!
I was so frustated from this issue that I used to use Windows iTunes for mass editing info, adding Lyrics etc and then transfering songs to Mac. This tip has alleviated my pain!!
Thanks for the tip. This question should be tagged as answered.

Setting up security and such for wireless router wrt54g without admin rights (work computer)

We are moving, I am in a new location with a new company and my only computer is this one from work. Trying to get my home network setup, I'm locked out of admin rights on this thing and am trying to set up the above router. I thought I had a modem problem at first, but finally I am online wired for now to the cable modem. I would like to get this router up and running, but I can't use the easy setup disk, and I just tried using the easy setup download and it is locked out as well. How can I get my router setup with security, with no admin rights on the pc?
This will be my first wireless router, so I am very green on the specifics and terminology. Any help is most appreciated.
Many thanks,

Thank you toomanydonuts!
I will do this when I get back to the townhouse this evening.
Just so that I am prepared for tonight - I want to confirm and ask a few questions on the "options" and note a couple things I noticed that may help with answers...
Internet connection type - should be easy, I assume there is a "cable modem" option.
SSID - I do not know what this means or what to choose
wireless encryption method (WEP, WPA, WPA2) - Which is best, or is there one I must pick due to computer used and such, I also want to get my Nintendo Wii accessing correctly, I saw these options on that setup, though it didn't work per my first message on the board. I assume whatever encryption method used needs to be chosen for the Wii?
wireless encryption password - I think I can handle this one
A couple of notes -
this laptop has this always on radar looking for wireless connections - how can I name my router so I know it's mine, other than the fact that it is the strongest signal. Maybe that's a network setting?
Thanks again, glad I came here.
Edit: I suppose I should add, just to ensure - in order to do this process through the url provided above, I need to be ethernet wired through the router to the modem? in order to access last night, I was straight into the modem, didn't seem to work wired through the router.
