Can't find user in users and groups

Set up 2 user accounts.  Both were give administrator privledges.  When I look under users and groups, I do not see the other user.  This happens when I am logged in in both accounts.  Want to see them so I can add shared files.

Welcome to Apple Communities
I found this problem with others. Make a backup, press Command and R keys in boot, open Disk Utility, erase the disk and install OS X. You have a Shared folder in Users to do it

  • Server 4.0 can't edit users and groups. All options greyed out.

    I have upgraded the mac mini server from Mavericks to Yosemite and had to update to Server 4.0 and having many issues.
    One issue is I can't edit users and groups. All the options are greyed out.

    Search the System keychain on the server for application passwords with the name "/LDAPv3/127.0.0.1" and delete any you find. Sign out of the Server app and sign back in using the FQDN of the server, not "localhost" or "127.0.0.1".

  • Can't open Users and Groups

    Yeah guys, after I played around the guest account and added some parental controls to it, I can't open Users and Groups again in Syste Prefences
    Thanks

    When doing Get Info -> Permsissions on files/folders located on my File Server share, Owner and Group show as (unknown).
    This means that the Finder can't find a match in the accounts/groups database for the numeric UID assigned to those files. Either the records associated to those accounts have been deleted, or the database is corrupt. In either case, you should restore a copy of it from backup.

  • MAJOR Open Directory issue: Can't assign Users and Groups that DO exist!

    Just noticed the following today:
    When doing Get Info -> Permsissions on files/folders located on my File Server share, Owner and Group show as (unknown).
    When I go into WGM -> Sharing, and look at files/folders on File Server share this way, the Owner and Group fields are blank.
    When I attempt to (re)assign an Owner or Group by dragging them from Users and Groups section of WGM, error tells me User or Group no longer exists. These Users and Groups clearly do exist in WGM -> Accounts.
    When I look at files on File Server share via CLI, instead of actual names for Users and Groups, I see their uid and gid's. Chowning via CLI fails as well.
    I've noticed all Users and Groups with this issue are OD.
    Server is xServe G4 DP 1.0 GNz/1 GB RAM/Mac OS X Server 10.4.7 Unlimited. This servers been running fine as an OD Master for months now. ACL's are enabled on this File Server share point. I've always had weird permissions issues, but NEVER the inability to assign OD Users and Groups to files/folders.
    I'm at a loss here, not to mention my wits end.
    Did my OD become corrupted?
    Any and all help would greatly appreciated.

  • Can't import users and group backup

    I exported the list of user names and groups prior re-installing 10.6 server.
    Now when I try to import the backup, I get the error:
    "The following users could not be imported because each of their first short names contains an invalid character (such as a period.)"
    followed by the list of my users.
    According to Apple's user creation documentation, the following characters are allowed:
    "For the first short user name, use only these characters. Subsequent short names can contain any Roman character.
    * a through z
    * A through Z
    * 0 through 9
    * _ (underscore)
    * - (hyphen)
    . (period)"
    Is that a bug? is there a way around it ?
    Thanks

    I am also encountering the same problem. Can anyone assist?? I had to demote my OD due to a DNS change and lost 200+ accounts unless we can find a solution.
    Thanks for anyones suggestions.

  • Can´t view users and groups

    Hi,
    I need to asign quotas to certain users but the list of users or groups appears empty when trying to do it in Xsan Admin. This worked fine before. What can I do to see/load the list again?
    Please, do you know about this and how can I solve it?
    Regards,
    Sistema.

    Did u bind this machine to the OD? If it is bound u should be able to see all the users.

  • How can I find the date modified and group membership in contacts?

    I used to have a smart group that could show the modification date, but those criteria don't exist in mountain lion (ML)
    i also had a script that would find any contact that was not a member of any group. It does not work any more in ML.

    still can't figure it out

  • WLS Users and Groups interface questions / observations

    I'm new to WLS, having just installed OBIEE 11g for the first time. There are some oddities in WLS around setting up Users that I'd like to ask about, to see if I'm just missing something, or if the interface really IS this bad. Please feel free to comment in any way, or to correct any statements that are erroneous. Here goes:
    1. The use of Previous and Next buttons instead of a vertical scroll bar for finding users and groups in their respective lists. What if you have several hundred users, and the one you want to modify starts with the letter 'Z'? That means clicking the Next button several dozen times. (Security Realms … myrealm … Users and Groups … Users) Not only is there no scroll bar, there's no search box either. The only way to get to a user near the end of the alphabetical listing is the Next button. Is that correct?
    2. After adding a new user, what's the next most logical thing to want to do? How about assigning that user to Groups? So why do I have to click Next several times to find that new user in the alphabetical list? I don't see a sortable 'Date Modified' field for the table of users, nor a link to the "Most Recently Added" user. Nor can I assign groups during the same action as creating the user. In the example in #1, I might have to click Next several dozen times to get to the user I just added. Is that correct?
    3. When creating a new User, immediately after clicking New, where is the most likely place that I'd want to go? How about the Name field? Right now, the cursor rests in some indeterminate location. I have to hit the Tab key 14 times, or move the mouse into the Name box and click it. The active cursor position does not default to the Name box when creating a new user. Is that correct?
    4. I don't see a 'Create Like' button for creating Users, so that existing group membership can be easily replicated. I'd like to be able to add a new employee by clicking to highlight an existing user from the same department, clicking a 'Create Like' button, then entering a new user name and password, with all group memberships assigned automatically based on the source user. The same could be said for replicating groups. I don't think that exists. Is that correct?
    5. I don't see a clean way to return to the User list on the page on which I clicked a user name. Imagine that I'm going through my entire list of users one at a time to set an attribute. I click on the user JSMITH and set the attribute. The only way to get back to JSMITH's page and select the next user list is to hit the browser's back button three times, or to click the Users and Groups breadcrumb at the top of the screen and use the Next link multiple times to find that page again. Is that correct?
    6. I don't see a way to bring up a Group and assign Users to it from a list. It appears that the only way to assign a User to a Group is to access a User profile and click Groups. If we're creating a new group that has 200 users selected from a list of 500 users, that could potentially represent somewhere between 5000 and 10000 mouse clicks. It would be much more efficient to be able to bring up a group, then select its members from a list of users. That does not appear to be possible. Is that correct?
    7. It also appears that when assigning groups for Users, the list of Available Parent Groups sorts the lowercase entries after all uppercase entries, so that groups that start with the letter 'a' fall after groups that start with 'Z'. That is not the case with the list of users. The User table uses a case-insensitive sort. Is that correct?
    8. When I want to delete more than one User, and the ones that I want to delete are on different pages, there appears to be no way to select those users from multiple pages at the same time. So, imagine that I have 500 users, and I want to delete two users, one of whom is listed on page 48, and the other on page 50. I would have to click the Next button 47 times to find the first user and delete it. At that point, the interface returns to page 1, and I have to click the Next button 49 times to reach the second user. Is that correct?

    Hi,
    Regarding your first question, you might want to press the "Customize this table" button, then select the maximum allowed amount of rows in "Number of rows displayed per page:" that would resolve some of the problems you're having with the interface. I do think this is not a great graphical tool, and there are some usability issues.
    Regarding the adding of users to groups, it seems the way you describe is the only way of doing it, however you could try using a script instead of the graphical console, the easiest way of making it is adding a user to a group while using the "Record" button on the top of the screen to get a wlst script to use as a model, then create a new script with all new users you want to add/modify.

  • Webcenter spaces user and group and WLS security realm

    I want to configure external ORACLE DB,
    I configed the security realm in WLS, and I can see the user and group list in WLS page, But I cant find any of them in webcenter spaces,
    and also can not login with those users.
    I added a user with WLS, it works well.
    do I need to do other configrations?

    First you need to create a Administrator for this new identity stores. Weblogic user is not identified now because its not mapped by first authenticator. See Oracle WebCenter Admin Guide, section 28.4.1.1 Granting the WebCenter Spaces Administrator Role Using FusionMiddleware Control. Once you have done this step, do the same steps for other application user. For this you have to give Application role to other user so that they can login and use WebCenter Space.See Oracle WebCenter Admin Guide, Section 28.4.2.1 Granting Application Roles Using Fusion Middleware Control.
    After doing above steps, restart WC_Spaces managed server.

  • Creating users and groups

    Hi all,
    I have about 100 users and many groups.
    How can i create users and groups quickly?
    Appreciate any help

    Like the way you export planning application to file system and use it as a source to migrate it, In the same way take shared services file system export in the file system and migrate it to the new environment.
    Cheers..!!!

    I upgraded to mountain lion a week ago and now on startup of my macbook pro, microsoft excel and word start up automatically and then crash? very strange can anyone please help? I have checked the login items under users and groups and there is nothing.

    Are you using the Office for Mac 2011 version, as you need to do?  The Office for Mac 2004 is Not at all compatible with Mountain Lion, and the 2008 version has been noted to have some problems running with ML.
    Hope this helps
