Any ideas on restriciting users/groups of users to data

I am most certain someone has worked in this before and will have a quick solution for me.
I have an interactive report which gets displayed based on entries in a table.
What I want to do is ensure that the user logged in only has access to a subset of that data
based on who he or she is. For example.
1) I want a couple users to have read access only to everything
2) I want a couple of users to have read/write access to everything
3) I want some users/groups of users to have read/write access to the data based upon a statement.
select blah blah from table where ColA=somevalue or multiple values.
4) I want some users/groups of users to have read access ONLY to the data based upon a statement.
select blah blah from table where ColA=somevalue or multiple values.
Thanks in advance,
Mike

You can also use Authorization Scheme's, Apex UserID's, Apex Groups, to limit access to fields, columns, rows, buttons, pages... basically any object.
For instance you might have a 'Mgmt' group with more rights than public users or authenticated users (seing more detail in a report) , and an 'HR' group with more rights still (seeing all the fields in a report).
Let me know if you need examples... I've implemented this successfully based on examples I've found posted.

I loaded my ipad photos from camera and all the pictures sorted by date. Next, I did a sync with my computer and the photos were all reorganized into IMPRT folders an out of date sequence. Any idea how to put the photos back into date files?

I loaded my ipad photos from camera and all the pictures sorted by date. I later sync my ipad with my computer and the photos were all reorganized into IMPRT folders an out of date sequence. Any idea how to put the photos back into date files other than reloading all of them from camera?

What version of iPhoto?
Select one and rotate it. Then rotate it back. Does that make it appear?
A much better work flow is the keep the photos after importing. Check the success the import, wait for at least one successful backup cycle then use you camera's format command to reformat the card

Ideas for Providing User Level Data Backup and Restore

I'm looking for ideas for implementing a user level application data backup and restore in an Apex app.
What would be great is to have a user be provided an export file and a way to import this file. A bit overkill but hopefully never needed.
Another option that is perfectly doable is a report that simply provides a means to create an export of the data. Since I already have an interface I can use an export to interface an export.
Any thoughts?
Hopefully I'm missing something already there for an end user to use.

"Do you mean "export" and "import" colloquially, or in the specific sense of the exp/imp/datapump utilities?"': I mean as in imp/exp Oracle utilities. Generally speaking, it would be neat to be able to export and import via an Apex an application. In this hosted environment I don't have that access but would this be a bad idea if you don't care about the existing data in the schema in which the data resides?I can envisage a mechanism using <tt>exp/imp</tt>, but since it requires <tt>dbms_scheduler</tt> external jobs and access to the file system it's highly unlikely to be possible in a hosted environment. (Unless you're doing the hosting?)
Backup: Necessary for piece of mind and flexibility. I am working on a VB/Access user who does this today to get to the point when they can be comfortable with the backups occurring regularly and by the hosting site's DBA group.
Restore: Like I said. I am working on a VB/Access user who does this today to get to the point when they can be comfortable with the backups occurring regularly and by the hosting site's DBA group. This is a very small data set. A restore would simply remove existing data and replace it with the new data.My opinion is that time would be better spent working on the user rather than a redundant backup and restore feature. Involve them in a disaster recovery exercise with whoever is hosting the environment to prove that their data is safe. Normally the inclusion of data in regular, effective database backups is sold as a major feature of APEX solutions.
"What about security/privacy when this data ends up in uncontrolled environments?": I don't understand the point of this question. The data should not end up in uncontrolled environments. Just like the data in the database or its backups.Again, having data in a central, shared location protected by multiple levels of application, database, and OS security is usually seen as a plus for APEX over VB/Access. Exporting the data in toto to a PC/laptop that can be stolen or lost, and where it can be copied to USB drives/phones/email loses this protection.
User Level: Because the end user must have access to the backup and restore mechanisms of the application.
Application Data: The application data. Less than 10MB. Very small. It can be exported in a flat file downloaded by the end user. This file can then be used to upload and import via an existing application interface. For example.
"I'm struggling to parse this for meaning.": When I say I have an existing interface I am referring to a program residing in the Apex application that will take data from a flat table structure (i.e. interface table), validate the data, derive data, and load into the target table structure.Other than the report export capability linked to above, there's nothing built-in to APEX that comes close to your requirement. If the data is simple enough that it can be handled in such a report, and you have a process that can read and recreate this export, then you have your backup/restore capability. If the data can't be handled in a simple report, then you'll need a more complex PL/SQL process to generate the file.

Are there any APIs to access user personalization data from java

Hi gurus,
We want to access personalization data for a user from java using API. This includes user mapping also.
If you are aware of any api please let me know.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Pratik Thakkar

Hi Pratik,
You can also retrieve a system object and get the user mapping for the system:
Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,IPcdContext.PCD_INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY);
env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, request.getUser());
env.put(Constants.REQUESTED_ASPECT, PcmConstants.ASPECT_SEMANTICS);
iCtx = new InitialContext(env);
ISystem pcdSys =(ISystem)iCtx.lookup(sysId);
ISystemUserMappingData um = pcdSys.getUserMappingData(request.getUser());
From this object you can get the user, password and other properties.
As for personalized values of iView attributes, you can an environmental value before create the initial context to indicate to return personalized value, as follows:
env.put(IPcdContext.PCD_PERSONALIZATION_PRINCIPAL, request.getUser());
Hope this helps.

Any ideas on how to swap a to&from date table to monthly using DI?

New to DI, so after a bit of product usage advice!
I've got a table that looks like this...
ID,NAME,SDATE,EDATE,TOTALDAYS,WEEKDAYS
1,James,01/01/2010,10/01/2010,10,6
2,John,03/02/2010,19/02/2010,16,13
1,James,15/04/2010,23/07/2010,100,72
3,Chris,05/08/2010,05/08/2010,1,1
2,John,30/08/2010,03/09/2010,5,5
3,Chris,28/09/2010,06/10/2010,9,7
I want it in a format thats a bit more like this...
YEAR,MONTH,ID,NAME,TOTALDAYS,WEEKDAYS
2010,JAN,1,James,10,6
2010,FEB,2,John,16,13
2010,APR,1,James,16,12
2010,MAY,1,James,31,21
2010,JUN,1,James,30,22
2010,JUL,1,James,23,17
2010,AUG,3,Chris,1,1
2010,AUG,2,John,2,2
2010,SEP,2,John,3,3
2010,SEP,3,Chris,3,3
2010,OCT,3,Chris,6,4
Anyway to do this type of operation in DI?
It's not a huge data set (k's of rows) - but I need it in this sort of format do do some monthly reporting. So far in DI I've only really used simple lookups and joins - more a load tool - so hope this type of thing is relativley standard stuff?
Thanks for any advice!

You can use below functions in query transform:
to_char(<input_date type value>, <'YYYY | MON>') to get the year / Month.

Any ideas what tables work center capacity gets its data?

I am looking at cube 0pp_c13 in BW and it looks at capacity. I can't seem to find the underlying table it pulls from to populate the structure. would anyone know where to look? I've looked in the code and it seems like it is already filled by the time it gets to the extractor so i can't tell where it pulls.
thanks

After working fine for several months, my iPhone 5 has started dropping bluetooth connectivity for 2 to 5 seconds at a time with my Sony MDR-1RBT headphones. The headphones work fine with other devices. I haven't moved to ios7 yet. Any ideas?

After working fine for several months, my iPhone 5 has started dropping bluetooth connectivity for 2 to 5 seconds at a time with my Sony MDR-1RBT headphones. The headphones work fine with other bluetooth devices. I haven't moved to iOS7 yet. Any ideas?

What user troubleshooting have you done on the phone? The steps are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. Understand that a restore will put the latest iOS on your device. It is also possible there is a hardware fault on the device and the Bluetooth is failing. Anything is possible given the scenario you describe.
And as far as iOS 7.x is concerned, we have 5 different iPhones here at home, all with the latest iOS, a 4, 4s, 5c, and 2-5s and all are working just fine. So, a blanket statement such as the one provided by the other poster is not completely true. Others are not having any issues at all either.

My apple tv gen 1 no longer appears in Devices on itunes. Any ideas?

My apple tv gen 1 will longer appears in Devices in itunes and therefore can't synch. Any ideas? My ATV1 software is up to date, it connects to the Internet, my laptop iTunes is 11.1.3.8, connects to the internet. Both connect my WiFi. Since it stopped showing up in Devices, I reset my Apple TV 1 to original factory settings and updated its software. Still does not appear. I tried different laptops, all with the 11.1 version of iTunes. Any suggestions?

Welcome to the Apple community cdmlbca.
Navigate to Settings > Computers > Your Library on the Apple TV, you may be told you will lose all synced content, but you can sync it back afterwards, you won't lose any purchased content that has yet to be transferred. Then select Settings > Computers > Connect To iTunes, note the passcode that appears on screen, click on the device in iTunes and enter the passcode when prompted.

Upgrade from element 8 PC to element 12 mac and got an error that mac version doesn't support older element version. Any idea how to move catalog an pics?

Hello,
Just upgraded Elements to version 12 on a Mac. Did a full backup on my Window based version 8 to external drive and when I wanted to do a restore on the V12 (Mac) got the following message: This catalog is from an older version of Elements and currently is not supported on the Mac platform. Please create a new catalog and then import your media". Any idea how I can maintain all the catalog data from the PC (I have about 25K pictures)?
Thanks

There was a major change in catalog database format in PSE 9. You would need to install PSE 9 or later in windows, make the backup again and then restore that to the mac. You could conceivably do this with the trial if you didn't buy the boxed version of PSE 12 and so don't have the windows media.

My safari menu bar is missing --the menu bar for desktop, HD, and apps appears, but when I click on Safari, it disappears, so I can no longer see my buttons for History, etc. I think my husband (pc user) clicked it away. Any ideas how to retrieve it?

My safari menu bar is missing. The menu bar for desktop, HD, and apps appears, but when I click on Safari, it disappears, so I can no longer see my buttons for History, etc. I think my husband (pc user) clicked it away when borrowing my computer. Any ideas how to retrieve it? Thanks.

I too was having the same problem However, I could access both the menu bar and the dock by hovering my mouse over them so it wasn't a huge problem but I prefered having it there anyway. I was not in full screen mode and I could still go into full screen mode if I wanted to. I found the easiest solution was to just quit safai and restart it, but it might not work for you considering you couldn't access you menu bar either way.
I found this article that allows you to hide/show the menu bar and the dock through TextEdit (didn't work for me) http://www.mactricksandtips.com/2009/07/hide-the-menubar-or-dock-in-specific-app s.html It is pretty old so it might not work for lion and a bit risky if you don't know what you're doing so I wouldn't really recommend doing it this way.
And KSheppard, I know it's not really any of my buisness, but the way to get answers to a question isn't by insulting others and being quick-tempered. Even if you feel like you were insulted first, don't try snapping at people who aren't obligated to help you. Honestly, it just makes everything easier if everybody is cooperative and polite.
