Create local account with no write access on mass computers?

I'm running a bunch of iMacs (10.6.8 & 10.8.2) on a network managed by an Xserve (10.6.8) at a small university.  We recently purchased several Adobe suites and they apparently do not work when logged in with a  network account.  So, for at least a short term work-around, how do I easily create a local account on all the computers that does not have write priviledges to the local drives (or at least limited write--there my need to be some system folders that Adobe needs to write to locally, but not sure yet)?  I can use a network drive for saving projects (even though Adobe told me that wouldn't work...), I just don't want students to be able to manage, add/remove programs, or save their projects locally.

Hello kikkos,
Please take a look at the following articles about local Users and Groups.
Local user accounts
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753450.aspx
Default local groups
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc771990.aspx
I can’t find account or account group can have full control to the computer but have no permission to edit the local admin account.

  • My question is, when i bought my sons ipod I created the account with my email, the I purchased an ipod as well and used to same account.  I want him to have his own account so he can't access my itunes money.

    My question is, when I bought my sons ipod I created the account with my emai, then I purchased an ipod as well, so we share an account.  I want him off of my account.  How do you do that, he has his own computer.

    His own password for what? You can only have one password for one account.
    He can use your account for items and he can also use his own account. To purchase items with a different account you go to Settings>Store and sign out and sign into the other account.
    To update apps you have to sign into the account the purchased them.

  • Linking Access tables, creating a query with using both Access and Oracle

    Hello,
    I am using 3.0.04.34 version Oracle Developer. I am supposed to create a script/procedure to use both Access tables and oracle tables together. There is an option in developer to copy the access tables into oracle. But it doesn't help me. Because when we updated the access tables
    the copied ones are not be updated. How can I created a linked access tables to oracle and create a query with using both access and oracle table together.
    I will appreciate if you guys help me. I look forward to hearing from you guys.
    Thanks,
    Pinar

    Pinar,
    to be able to query MS Access tables in Oracle you need an additional product, the Oracle Database Gateway for ODBC. It allows you to link any foreign database into an Oracle database using a suitable ODBC driver. You can then access the MS Access tables through a database link based on the Database Gateway for ODBC. This will also allow you to join local Oracle and remote MS Access tables from your Oracle database.
    There's a note on My Oracle Support which gives you more details:Document 233876.1 Options for Connecting to Foreign Data Stores and Non-Oracle Databases - For example - DB2, SQL*Server, Sybase, Informix, Teradata, MySQL
    And there's also a dedicated Forum: Heterogeneous Connectivity

  • Hi, I use two email addresses within one account with gmx.  I created one account with the first email address now. How do I add the second one to this account? Now it looks like this. One account was opened with address A. I receive in this account email

    Hi, I use two email addresses within one account with gmx.
    I created one account with the first email address now. How do I add the second one to this account?
    Now it looks like this.
    One account was opened with address A.
    I receive in this account emails for address A and B.
    But I can only write and answer with address A.

    Hi Rudegar,
    Sorry for my late reply.
    It s not the amount of accounts I'm struggling with.
    When I create now for both email addresses one account, then I receive the same emails two times.
    That is not what I want.
    Because on gmx the two email addresses have the same inbox and outbox.
    E.g. I can login to my gmx account either with email A or B. It doesn't matter.
    Now I want to have the same on my ipad.
    One account with both email addresses.

  • I am new to IPAD and I want o use facetime, how can I use it to communicate with my mac at home, do I need to create another account with a different email account

    I am new to IPAD and I want o use facetime, how can I use it to communicate with my mac at home, do I need to create another account with a different email account

    do I need to create another account with a different email account
    Yes, the email addresses need to be unique to each device. You may use the same Apple ID on each device, but the email address used by each device needs to be different.

  • After downloading Mozilla Firefox 4.0 Beta to my desktop I restarted the computer, but I do not receive any prompts to create an account with a Secret Password. How do I set up the account if the prompt never show up?

    Several months ago I installed the Firefox Home app on my iPhone to sync the bookmarks that I had on my Windows XP home computer. It has worked just fine until a few days ago. Just recently I was notified that the app would no longer work because of changes that have been made. I have tried to follow the instructions that were emailed to me regarding how to setup the new Firefox Sync add-on, but I am having a problem. After downloading Mozilla Firefox 4.0 Beta to my desktop and restarting my computer, I do not receive any prompts to create an account with a password and a secret phrase, as the instructions specify. How do I set up the account if the prompt never shows up?

    Click on the Firefox button then select Options to open the Options dialog. Now go to the Sync panel for the option to setup a new account.

    Dear sirs,
    Could you please help me on my problem with my apple ID
    I create new account with security questions, and when I try to purchase paid application,it ask me for answers the questions but it's not working,
    My account have 50$ and still didn't buy anything

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.

    Please do not duplicate a thread. The threads are answered as soon as possible. We are not Adobe. Just user to user.
    I have answered your most recent of the duplicates
    Premier Elements 13 Organizer Works. Editor doesn't. Log in doesn't work
    It is uncertain just how far we can go to help you since you do not appear to have Premiere Elements any
    longer.Seems you demanded a refund from Adobe Chat, got it, and now are left with a non purchased program which I
    am not sure can be used.
    Duplicates tend to confuse the person asking the question as well as those attempting to reply. As I suggested in the

  • Creating user accounts with OIDDAS and use them from the OS

    Hi,
    I have a customer that is experiencing an error creating user accounts from OIDDAS, and use that user accounts from the operating system.
    My customer is using OID/OAS4OS 10.1.4.2.0, and that version is not longer available to download, then, I will try in my own environment
    with OID/OAS4OS 10.1.4.3.0.
    And the question is the following: is supported to create user accounts with OIDDAS and expect that users can work with OAS4OS and be
    able to authenticate in the operating system?
    For the reference, SR# 7222351.993:

    Hi Jacco,
    I didn't see your post before.
    Nop, unfortulately I don't have a document with that. I just received that answer
    from development (related to the plugin for AD that is not certified, and DAS is
    not intended to work with OAS4OS).
    Anyway, about the plugin to work with AD, this is working for me; at least I tested
    it by configuring the plugin, I configured synchronization, the mapping file, I did
    the bootstrap, and the accounts that were bootstraped now shows the OS attributes
    on DAS.
    Regards,
    Luis Vivero.

  • HT5312 Every time I do all the steps to reset the questions the only problem I have is that I noticed in the link to reset them using an email the email in the link don't match the one I created my account with. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

    You won't be able to change your rescue email address until you can answer your questions, you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 page that you posted from to upadte your rescue email address for potential future use

  • HT1451 I had another itune account but when my ipod broke it made me create another account. how can i access my old account with my old playlist?

    I had an ipod touch and it broke, when i replaced it with a new one it made me recreate another account. is there a way to access my old account and playlists?

    "when i got the new one it told me that it wasnt the correct device and i needed to create an account for that specific device. "
    I think you misunderstood.  I have had the same account for 7 years and through many, many devices an computers.
    " the computer i used for the  acct no longer works,"
    Have you failed to maintain a backup copy of your computer?
    "everytime i enter my information to access the old account username and password it makes me answer security questions that then tell me im wrong and when i try to send an email for verification i never get one to that email address?"
    Contact itunes support about this:
    http://www.apple.com/support/contact/
    Hope you are able to get this resolved quickly.
