Can I prevent a user from Deleting the Group Policy deployed power plan?

I have Power Manager version 3.20 installed and am using the Group Policy template to deploy a customized power plan. I do not want my users to have the ability to delete this custom plan, but I cannot find the option in the Group Policy to change the setting that would grey-out the Delete button in Power Manager.
I have located the registry value that changes the function of Power Manager, it is: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Lenovo\PWRMGRV\PowerSchemes\42617646-BC99-48E2-B3AF-C562C25F4098\ProhibitModification. If the value is 0, then the delete button is available. If the value is 5, then the delete button is greyed-out.
The problems is that the Power Plan ID number (the 42617646-BC99... part in the reg key above) changes from computer to computer. That ID string seems to be tied somehow to the specific computer. So, I cannot just create a Group Policy Preference to change that value in the registry, because that value is always going to have a different name.
The computers are all ThinkPad T400 model and are running Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit.
Can anyone suggest a different method to change this setting? If not, is there any chance that the Power Manager application can be upgraded to include this control?
Thank you!

welcome to the forum!
to add to what gan said, page 6 of the power manager deployment guide covers this policy over active directory.

How to prevent certain Users from deleting a resource while in the project?

We are currently using P6.2 client; We are setting up a new resource dictionary and have been searching to find a way to prevent certain users from deleting resources while in the project. Is there a way to do that? I have created Global profiles and Project profiles under the Admin security profile and have tried clicking off of rights to delete a resource but when I log into as that user I can still delete the resource. Please Help!

Are you talking about preventing users from deleting resource assignments within a project? Or preventing them from deleting resources from the global resource dictionary?
For global resource dictionary in Global Profile you would turn off:
-Delete Resources
And likely:
-Add resources
-Edit Resources
-Edit Roles
-Edit Resource Calendars
For resource assignments on activities in Project Profiles you would turn off:
-Add/Edit Project Activities Except Relationship
Note: this will disable more then just the ability to alter resource assignments.

How to prevent multiple users from updating the same data in coherence

Hi,
I have a Java Web Application and for data cache am using coherence 3.5. The same data maybe shared by multiple users which maybe in hundreds. Now how do I prevent multiple users from updating the same data in coherence i.e. is there something in coherence that will only allow one user a time to update. If one user is in a process of updating a data in coherence and some other user also tries to update then the second user should get an error.
Thanks

I have a question on the same line. How can I restrict someone from updating a cache value when I a process is already working on it. I tried locking the cache key but it does not stop other process to update it , it only does not allow other process to get lock on it.

How can we prevent a user from entering a value in Parameter Field?

how can we prevent a user from entering a value in Parameter Field and Select-options Field?

make it invisible, make it inactive, make it display only.
if the field is not there or not to be seen the user WILL have problems inputting data.
BUT once the field is there you can NOT prevent that the user fills it with data.
all you can do is on PAI check if the data the user inputted was good or bad, and clear his inputs, but you can NOT prevent him inputting something.

How to secure the users from deleting the work items

Hi all,
I have a question like this.........whether we could secure the users from deleting the work items by someone in the Project and also assigning a specific user to allow them to delete the idoc.
Please help me on this as this is critical.........
Thanks in advance
Chakri

One of t he possible way is, ask the basis team to create users as Service Users and you can determine whether the login user is whether a service or dialog user by using the a bapi BAPI_USER_GET_DETAIL under the exporting parameter logondata with field USRTYP where if the logged in user is Service user then this field will be populated as S if the user is a dialog user then it will be populated as A.
Now in more efficient way of fixing this is get the list of users for whom you donot want to give the authorization of deleting workitems and assign the appropriate role for all the listed users...
for roles and authorizations i hope the basis team is the right team to consult....

Prevent a user from changing the Project ID in P6 EPPM 8.3.7

Does anyone know if there is a Global or Project Security Profile privilege that will prevent a user from changing the Project ID on an existing Project? We are using Primavera P6 EPPM 8.3.7
Thank you,
Eric

Hi,
Below project security profile may help you,
Edit Project Details Except Costs/Financials
Determines whether the profile will enable users to edit fields in General, Dates, Defaults, Resources, and Settings tabs in Project Details. To assign a project baselines, users must also have the "Assign Project Baselines" project privilege assigned to their profile.

I have checked around the internet, but still can't find any answers. How can I prevent incoming mail from interrupting the music I am listening to on my iPhone? That 1-second muting function drives me insane, especially when a lot of mail is coming in.

Is there a way to prevent a user from using the graph cursor legend to delete a cursor?

I would like to have 2 cursors on a graph that can't be deleted by the user.

Hi Dennis,
I'm having this problem as well, and found your post. Are you referring to the Enabled State of the entire graph? If so, this prevents the user from moving the cursor at all while the VI is running, which, of course, defeats the purpose of having a cursor at all. Ideally, I would like to show the cursor palette and disable it's run-time shortcut menu. This doesn't appear to be possible. One workaround would be to hide the palle and instead include some indicators that show the cursors' values. I'd prefer to show the palette to keep the program simpler.
Any other solutions?
Thanks,
Alan

I need to prevent unauthorized users from accessing the application pages

Hi^^,
I have created an application in jsp and servlets. It has several pages like manager, supervisor accountant. I need to prevent unauthorised users from accessing these pages. In other words I need to implement a filter. Anyone who types a url other than that of the login page needs to be blocked. However I am not able to conceptualize the code that is going to be inside the doFilter() method. Please help
Sincerely,
Prashant

Hi^^,
I admit that there were some mistakes in the previous posting. I have corrected the mistakes and now there is going to be no compile time error. However when i put in the login id and the password it is redirecting me to the login page. I think that the front end jsp is directing the control to the controller servlet. But as "YOU" have pointed out in your previous post,
"by default requestDispatcher.forward(...) does not pass through the filter change. If the user requests the login page from their browser however, then they will still get the error message, which may not be appropriate."
I feel we need to somehow make the code pass through the requestDispatcher.forward(...) method of the servlet.
I am again posting the corrected code.
package com;
import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
public class SecurityFilter implements Filter
public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response, FilterChain chain) throws   ServletException, IOException
HttpServletRequest req = (HttpServletRequest)request;
HttpServletResponse res = (HttpServletResponse)response;
String X = req.getRequestURI();
if(X.equals(http://localhost:8080/MyProject/LoginPage.jsp))
     //writing code for passing through the filter
     final class MyGenericFilter implements javax.servlet.Filter
      public FilterConfig filterConfig;
      public void doFilter( final ServletRequest request, final ServletResponse response, FilterChain chain) throws java.io.IOExeption, javax.servlet.ServletException
      chain.doFilter(request,response);
      public void init(final FilterConfig filterConfig)
      this.filterConfig = filterConfig;
      public void destroy()
else
   HttpSession session = req.getSession();
   String username = (String)session.getAttribute("username");
   if(null==username)
     request.setAttribute("Error","Session has ended. Please login");
     RequestDispatcher rd = request.getRequestDispatcher("Login.jsp");
     rd.forward(request,response);
     chain.doFilter(request,response);
    else
     RequestDispatcher rd = request.getRequestDispatcher("X");
     rd.forward(request,response);
public void init(final FilterConfig filterConfig)throws ServletException
      public void destroy()

How can I prevent my books from deleting?

How can I prevent my iPhone4 from opening the 'next' e-mail when I delete an e-mail?

Subject says it all. When viewing an e-mail, I delete it. Rather than just going back to the list of e-mails, my iPhone opens up another unread e-mail (seems to sometimes open a newer one, and sometimes an older one). I don't want it to do that.

You can't change this. http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

Is there a way to prevent AD users from accessing the VPN?

I have ASA 5510's that authenticate users to the Active Directory. Is there a way to prevent users, that even though they are validated through the AD from being to establish a VPN connection?

Haven't tested this lately, but with the ipsec client, you used to be able to go to an AD user's "dial-in" tab, and there was a check box there for "allow remote access" or something that. If this was checked, they could authenticate via IAS, if not, they couldn't. This allowed only selected users within AD to use the VPN. Not sure if this is still the case, but it's a start...

How do I prevent a user from having the rights to approve a document in approval workflow?

I have a document library with the SharePoint 2010 approval workflow assigned. Documents must be approved before a major version is checked in.
The checkbox "Start this workflow to approve publishing a major version of an item." is checked for the workflow.
I want any user to be able to create a document and submit for approval but I only want a subset of people to have permission to approve the documents submitted for approval
How do I only allow certain users be able to be selected to approve a document?

Deleted other posts because pictures did not upload.
I have done exactly as has been indicated, yet User1 can still assign User2 as the approver and User2 can approve the check-in when the "Open this task" button is clicked in the approval
email in Outlook and the approve button is click in the displayed dialog.

How can I prevent Time Machine from deleting a backup?

I just want to make one particular backup immune to Time Machine's auto-delete function. It's the one I used to migrate from my old computer to my current one. I tried to just drag-copy it on to a different drive, but apparently I don't have permission to copy my own computer's backups... weird.
Anyway, there's got to be a way to lock this particular backup. I going to have to keep Time Machine off until I can find out how.

Explodey wrote:
There's always a way, with a little ingenuity. I just went to Get Info for that backup and changed the system privilege to "read only." And if that doesn't work, I'm sure something else will.
I am sure of one thing that you are going to end up breaking Time Machine which in all likelihood you will not discover until you need to recovery data from it.

How can I prevent my tabs from loading the Tuvaro search page?

I have tried everything listed in the popular articles for this. Firefox shows my home page when I open it (yay!) but new tabs - tabs specifically - still default to the Tuvaro search engine. I have gone into "about:config" and reset the "browser.newtab.url" setting, and it works! But when I close Firefox and open it back up again, the string has been replaced on "Browser.newtab.url" and my tabs default to Tuvaro again. As stated previously, I've uninstalled ALL bloatware from my (brand new) computer, fixed the shortcuts, cleaned my registry, and reset firefox. This one detail just refuses to be fixed.
Thank you!

Hello SkyeVeran, check if exist inside the "Programs" in windows, go from Start button > Control Panel > Programs > Uninstall a program or Program and Features > find it and uninstall, also uninstall any other unwanted suspicious program.
also, check if exist in your extensions, click the 3-bar menu button > Add-ons > Extensions or Appearance > select if exist as an add-on > click Remove button.
after the above, Reset Firefox
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Troubleshooting Information''.Now, a new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
#At the top right corner of the page, you should see a button that says "Reset Firefox"[[Image:Button reset]]. Click on it.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Thank you.
