Cen't delete user--minus sign greyed out

I'd appreciate help with the following: I'm trying to deleter a user account. I can click on the user account and highlight it, but only the plus sign is in black--the minus sign is greyed out. I have unlocked the lock, so that's not the problem. Can anyone help?
Many thanks!

If you have Fast User Switching turned on, you cannot delete a logged in account from the Accounts pane of System Preferences. Switch to that account and log out of it, or restart the computer.

User Defined Fields greyed out for one user

Hi Experts,
One of our users is a Super User but on the Business Partner Master Data screen, the User Defined Fields are greyed out.
This is user specific as the issue is happening for the same user on 2 seperate PCs.
Other users can update these UDFs - any suggestions?
Thanks
Greig

Hi
take a look at this SAP Note :
Cannot access settings for the user defined fields
Symptom
Cannot access settings for the User Defined Field(UDF)
Other terms
UDF, user defined field, sbo-udf, settings for UDF are inactive, the settings for the udf are greyed out.
Reason and Prerequisites
Need to use the Settings option to order the udf.
In Tools -> User Defined fields -> Settings the option 'Settings' is greyed out and inactive.
Solution
If in Tools -> User Defined fields -> settings and this option is not available then return to the document and click anywhere in the main document window.
Now return to Tools -> User Defined fields -> settings and this option will now be active.

Apple Configurator - 1.2 (Delete User Account while Checked Out)

Hi Community,
I have a supervised iPad that was checked out to a particular user. The user account in apple configurator was deleted while checked out. The iPad is now unavailable to check out because it is permanently checked out to the deleted user account.
I reset and deleted all information on the iPad but since it is supervised it comes right back to the point I checked it out (which I really like). But in this situation how to I get that user off...because I can't check it back in and currently can't use it for anyone else.
Thanks!

I attempted to, but if a device is checked out to a user the unsupervise option isn't available. This is only because I believe the device was checked out and the user it was checked out to was deleted. Normally if there wasn't a user checked out to the device unsupervise would be available.

Fill & sign greyed out but same pdf on different pc is signable

Hello,
I'm having strange issue with sign process, we have the same PDF sent to several users.
All are running last update for Reader XI.
Some users have the fill&sign option disabled and signing property is not allowed.
Same document sent to other user is siging allowed and all works fine.
We already tried several options (new save as/ reinstall reader / recreate new main doc) but for these users is not possible to sign PDF
Any advice how to troubleshoot deeper?
Thanks

I know mostly digital (PKI-certificate-based) signatures. I cannot expertly advise on other signature types. It is possible that the form that you had, had an expiration date on it (was Reader-extended with a certificate that expired after a certain date). That might explain why your co-worker was able to sign and you weren't, if you got the unsigned copy from her and not from the same source where she got it. If you got not the same copy but from the same source, you may have gotten a copy with the signing already disabled. The other possibility is that the form might execute comminications with the author's server to get authorization to sign and that authorzation failed. There are many ways a form can be constructed that cause this behaviour. Since you know that the document's author disabled signing the question is now moot and I do not see why we should speculate on a possible reason.

How do I remove a user? ( the name is greyed out and has a check next to it )

I cannot remove a user ( my wife ) from my Macbook. I go to Sys. Pref, Accounts, and unlock the lock ( I'm the Admin ). I'm able to click on and highlight the guest account but that's not what I want to delete. My wife's user name is greyed out and it has a check mark by it. I'm unable to highlight it so that I can remove it. There's gotta be a simple fix, right? Please help. Thanks, Michael K.

User read & write permissions greyed out in sharing

Hi I am trying to access a Fat32 formatted HD plugged into a Macbook running lion from a Macbook Pro running Mavericks. When i go into system preferences and sharing I am able to see the External HD and share it but the read and write options for the users are all greyed out. Also when I access the macbook through sharing or connect to server I am unable to see the external HD but I do see the other shared folders on the macbook's internal drive. I have tried to verify and repair the drive but it has not solved the problem. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

In system preferences on both macbook's , you need to go to file sharing and making sure it's on for both ,click on options and enable smb for windows. follow instructions. I am assuming that the external drive has windows formate on it.

Delete row option doesn't work and then becomes greyed out. Need help troubleshooting.

Hello!
I'm hoping that someone can please help me troubleshoot an issue I'm having with a table in my form. It has a menu associated with each row that allows you to add, delete, reset, etc. rows. The name of the table on the form is the Purchase Items table. It's the first table on the form.
Here are the steps to recreate the issue:
1. Create 3 rows in the table
2. Click the menu ("X") button associated with the first row.
3. Select "Delete this row". Nothing happens.
4. Click the menu ("X") button associated with the first row.
5. Select "Delete this row" again. Nothing happens.
6. Click the menu ("X") button associated with the first row. You'll notice that the "Delete this row" option is greyed out.
My best guess that the rows are being deleted in the background which would explain that if I have 3 rows, and "delete" 2, that my delete option is then greyed out because I believe there is logic in there such that if there is only 1 row then grey out the option to delete rows. I was planning to attach the file as I have seen others do but don't see the option. I'm happy to provide the file via email if that's easier. Thank you in advance!
Saskia

I've posted the solution here:
http://www.fieldeffecttechnologies.com/AdobeForums/PCard.pdf
The instance manager methods were being given the wrong index of the row to work with. They need to be passed the index for the row that the button you are pressing is in (of course). Instead they were given some v8b index, which I honestly cannot decipher as to what that number possibly means. (Math.round((v3-v4)*v6........)???
Anyways, I fixed it up and also changed some of the logic in the sub menu to determine what's greyed out.
I like that feature! Might even show it to a client!

Can't Delete User Account - On Mac Os X Server

Hi, I am running Server v 2.2.1 on Mountain Lion 10.8.3 (I don't see a community set up for this new server software so I'm asking here)
I just created a user account in the server but made a mistake and for some reason it won't let me delete the account.
Clicking on the little minus box does nothing and when I go into the "edit user" everything is greyed out accept for the "Administer the server" checkbox.
Other accounts I've created don't have this issue so I'm not sure what is going on.
Is there a way to delete this account? Maybe from the Terminal?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I figured it out. For some reason there was no admin write access to the User folders.

Delete user account?

I had to make a temp user account, now I can't delete it. The choice is greyed-out. I am the admin, etc. Thoughts?

Yes, logged in as admin. Unlocked lock. Temp user, "John," is grey-out, as is the "-" button at the bottom. I want to delete John.

2012 R2 RBA: Remove / Delete buttons greyed out Administrative users account (sec role/scope) clean up

I am seeing something odd with one of my RBA settings. Keep in mind I am seeing this as a 'Full Administrator'.
I created a new test Security scope, Security Role, created a test Active Directory group and then entered that AD group as a new account name under Security>Administrative users. I added the new Security Role under the Security Roles tab of the
Account name (Administrative users) properties and also added the security scope that I created under the Security Scopes tab. I was able to see all the settings I had created/exported in the RBA viewer and everything with the role worked as desired.
I am now looking to clean that up but I don't seem to be able to. I am starting under Administrative Users>Account name and trying to unlink the Security Roles and Security Scopes that listed in those tabs. However, remove and deletes on this
stuff are all greyed out. If I add another role to the Security Role tab I can then remove that, but I cannot remove this 1 particular one. The result is that I cannot remove the custom Security Scope, Security Role and ultimately the Administrative
user.
Does anyone have any idea why I can't remove the security roles and scopes from the Account Name?

I'm able to "delete" one admin user or group (account name) from Administrative users node (\Administration\Overview\Security\Accounts). I tried with custom security role/scope etc....even the same user was part of \Administration\Overview\Security\Accounts.
It seems something wrong with your FULL admin account ? Do you've any other FULL Admin account? If so, can you try with that account?

How to delete a greyed out user account?

I'm trying to delete several user accounts, but some (both standard and admin) are greyed out even after i unlock the window in preferences/accounts. I can't find any info on why this might be, or how to delete these user accounts. Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks.

Well, I think that was the answer, since when i rebooted, then I had free access to all the accounts. Thanks for your quick response.

After 10.9.4 Update: Mail Messages Grey Out Upon Deleting-Don't Move to Trash?

Hello,
After 10.9.4 Update/MacBook Pro with Retina display: Mail Messages Grey Out Upon Deleting-Don't Move to Trash? I believe I must join those who are having trouble with mail after this latest update. Deleted messages just turn a light grey in the message panel and don't move to trash until after I quit and restart mail. I have also experienced the screen "Freezing" ... no spinning beach ball, just the pointer frozen. This has happened only when I use mail and requires a "hard" re-start to correct. Is this a "feature" of the update, or is it a problem? Thanks!

Some of your user files (not system files) have incorrect permissions or are locked. This procedure will unlock those files and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Back up all data.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (triple-click, copy, and paste):
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -N {} + -type d -exec chmod +x {} + 2>&-
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.
Quit Mail and empty the Trash. If you still can't, log out or restart the computer.

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".
