Created Multiple Users & Home Icon Is A Plain'ol Folder Icon?

so i finally took the advice of every OSX security article i've ever read, and created a separate Admin user account. After doing so, i noticed that the 'home' icon in my sidebar, and in my user folder has changed to a regular folder icon. how can i fix this or change it back?

Hi Aldo!
If you navigate to Computer > HD > Users: isn't there still a Home folder for the original Administrative Account, with the House icon?
When you are logged in with the second account, I believe it is normal to see the Home, appear as a folder, rather than a House icon.
I think there can only be one account with a House icon.

  • How i can create multiple users at a time (User Administration) in EP

    Hi
    I need to create multiple users at a time. How can i do that through User Administration in EP.
    Please also tell me about import option in User Administration

    Hi,
    1.  First of all create a master user based on which you can create multiple users.
    2.  when you are done with it  export (by selecting the option at user creation) it.
    3.  you can see some text in a window copy it create  a txt file with it, and add as many users as you want
         by cpoy pasting the text multiple times and making necessary change as per the names etc...
    4. save the txt file.
    5. goto import option you were talking about and import the text file and update it.
    6. As it gets updated you are done with the creation of multiples users.
    If you  get stuck somewhere  feel free to  let me know.
    if  this answer satisfies your need, award points and close the thread.

  • Is there any way to create multiple users in a single shot in oracle db

    Can Any one tell me, is there any way to create multiple users in a single shot in oracle database.

    Hello Nunhum,
    I guess this was not my question.. This is not what I m asking.. I know there is not a single sql statement in oracle ,which could create multiusers alike UNIX/LINUX(OS LEVEL), Whatever you have written..is simple creating them one by one.
    What I am expecting is to have PL/SQL statement which could help us in this regard.

  • Create multiple users

    Hi,
    I would like to create multiple users from my Table Users (Username & Passwords) instead to pass by the express Application Users from apex. I have like 100 users, it will take so long to create with apex.
    Is anyone know the sql code to create that with sql workshop ?
    Thanks

    this is pretty basic but should do it... I haven't tested or anything but should work (or at least with the smallest of tweaks will work). The only problem I can see you encountering will be if the user already exists as I haven't handled this yet but a simple exception handler around the apex_util.create_user call will handle this. You may want to change the password to something else but this at least shows the basics.
    declare
    cursor my_users is
    select user_id user_id, user_id user_name, user_id password
    from users;
    begin
    for u in my_users loop
    apex_util.create_user(
    p_user_id => u.user_id,
    p_user_name => u.user_name
    p_web_password => u.password);
    end loop;
    commit; --can't remember if this needs a commit but shouldn't hurt
    end;

  • Create multiple user accounts

    How could I create multiple user accounts?...
    We have about 2000 students register every year and each of them will be given a user account

    I managed to create many users using the command
    imadmin -D serviceadmin n xxx.com -w password -i <inputfile>....
    the content of the input file
    l KA1000
    F new
    L user1
    W secret
    l KA1001
    F new
    L user2
    W secret
    so I have created 2 user accounts [email protected] and [email protected]....
    I have one more question to ask..how can I create new accounts which have different login id and email address using the input file....for examples for login id KA1000 the email address would be [email protected].
    I've tried this using ldapadd and it worked, so I would like to know wether imadmin command will work the same.....

  • How to configure Airport Extreme AFP disk sharing to host multiple users' home-directories (Lion, using autofs)

    I have this working, but only by completely bypassing access control, using guest access with read+write permissions.
    Do I need to buy Lion Server, to do this. All my past unix/linux experience says Lion Server should _not_ be necessary.
    This seems like a simple & obvious setup objective, but it is proving to be harder than I would imagine.
    Setup:
    multiple users, sharing two mac mini's running OSX Lion
    connected to an Airport Extreme (4th gen) with a USB disk shared (either via disk password, AEBS password, or using AEBS user's passwords).
    After much experimentation and web research, I finally have managed to get the mini's to auto mount the Airport Extreme's AFP shared USB disk. Well almost... It only works if, on the Airport, I set the guest access permissions to read+write and select the "Secure Shared Disks" method to "With disk password" or "with Airport Extreme password".  In other words, it only works if I essentially bypass/disable access control by using the guest authentication mechanism to the AFP shared disk.
    On the Lion side of this, I am automounting the users directories via "autofs". The config files for this are
    /etc/auto_master:
    # Automounter master map
    +auto_master            # Use directory service
    /net                    -hosts          -nobrowse,hidefromfinder,nosuid
    /home                   auto_home       -nobrowse,hidefromfinder
    /Network/Servers        -fstab
    /-                      -static
    /-                      auto_afp
    /etc/auto_afp:
    # Automounter AFP master map
    # https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3336384?start=0&tstart=0
    /afp/users -fstype=afp afp://;AUTH=No%20User%[email protected]/Users/
    Then, after rebooting and verifying read+write access to the /afp/users directories, I change each user's home directory: In System Preferences > System > Users & Groups, I right-click over the users to access the Advanced Options, changing the Home directory field to point at the AFP-mounted /afp/users/Users/* home directories.
    I experimented with alternate UAM specifications, as well as both OSX and AESB users & passwords. Using guest access is the only thing that has worked.
    Any pointers would be appreciated...

    Based on lots more experimentation which confirms the information in a parallel discussion (cf. Automount share as non ROOT or SYSTEM user! https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3221944), I have concluded that the Lion 10.7.2 implementation of AutoFS mechanism is broken. I submitted a bug report via apple.com/feedback.
    Work arounds..?
    Earlier I wondered if installing Lion OSX Server was necessary.  The more I contemplate this, the more I am convinced it _should_not_ be necessary. The client-server architecture is clear: my mac's are the file-server client's and the Airport Extreme is supposed to act as the file server. The only thing instaling Lion Server would do (besides enriching Apple.com) is enable me to configure one of the mac's as the file server. This would require it to be "always on" (thus enriching my electric utility as wel).  Okay, an additional benefit would be configuring software RAID disks attached to the Lion server, but Time Machine has worked fine for me in the past, backing up to disks mounted on the Airport Extreme.
    One solution is to create a disk partition for each user and instruct each user to connect / authenticate to the Airport Extreme AFP share at login.  The multiplicity of partitions is necessary since the first user to mount the AFP share, takes ownership of it, blocking other users from accessing that disk partition.  A user can "steal" ownership by reconnecting, but this will leave the other user's applications & open files dangling.
    This disfunctional situation really *****.  Before instaling Lion, I put a 64 GB SSD (solid state disk) in each of our mac's. I did this expecting to easily configure the /Users/* data on external networked storage. I'm having a dejavu "Bill Gates"-ware moment; problems like this were why I abandoned Windoz.
    I will make a few more experiments using the depreciated /etc/fstab mechanism.  Maybe that will bypass the broken-ness of AutoFS...? Alternately, I guess I could also try to run Kerberos authentication to bypass whatever is broken in AutoFS, but that would require a running a Kerberos daemon somewhere.  Possibly I could configure a Kerberos service to run on both my mac's (without installing Apple's Lion Server)...?
    Stay tuned...

  • OS creating multiple user/library folders - need help

    My computer has decided on it's own to revert back to it's original default settings causing me to lose all the changes that I have made, as well as forcing me to redo the set-up procedures for Mail, Safari and other browsers and applications. This is happening every day after I log off. In looking around for answers I found that Home/User is creating multiple libraries as I keep resetting the computer. I now have 8 library folders all with different contents. I'm sure this is why the computer is reverting to default. Do I delete the extra folders? How do I know which is the one to keep? The one with the most items? I was poking around the apps and other sections, but I don't remember moving or changing anything. I will have to start over again tomorrow and I will then have 9 folders. I would really appreciate someone to help me out of this dilemma.
    iMac Intel   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   I have DSL and had a phone line repair shortly before the problem started

    It's the same with me. Just discovered, I have 15 additional users created. I'm most eager to learn why this is happening because I have not been able to 'auto login' using my own account.

  • WebTools Creating multiple users for the same User

    I had to make a few changes to a BP in SAP which will synch back into WebTools but now I am getting multiple users for the same contact. For example my user is cspehar_1 now in Webtools there are cspehar_1, cspehar_2, cspehar_3 and so on up to _8.
    This is occuring for several users in webtools.
    What causes this and how do I fix it?
    Thanks,
    Craig Spehar

    Hi Craig,
    There are two ways to cause this that I am aware of:
    1.  Change the "Business Partner Synch Contacts Field" setting after the initial synch.
    2.  Change the Web UserID on the BP contact in B1 (OCPR.U_PRX_SID).
    After that, update the user in WT  and synch. (might also happen if  you update the BP in B1)
    Since the synch is using the OCPR.U_PRX_SID to identify the contact, it will not be able to find it in B1 if the U_PRX_SID has changed.  When it does not find it, it assumes it needs to be created.  This results in a duplicate.
    The solution is to reset the U_PRX_SID back to what it was or set the synch contact field back to what it was.
    Then delete the last created duplicate contact from B1.
    There may be further data corruption issues here.  If orders/quotes/opportunities or other dependant data has synchronized referencing the duplicate user, these data will need to be correct as well.
    FYI, whatever caused this was probably at the root of your order problem as well.

  • Copy Finder Items - how to generic for multiple user home directories?

    I am creating an Automator workflow to allow my networked users to be able to copy certain files from a central location to their local home directory and overwriting their local copy. How to I make the destination of the Copy Finder Item to be generic home directory (something in the like of "~/Document/MegaSeg User Data/MegaSeg Database" instead of a fixed user home directory)?

    Hi
    It may be easier with an appleScript (which you could incorporate into an Automator action if you wanted).
    --start script
    set the_file to -- path to the file you want to copy goes here
    set docs_folder to path to documents folder from user domain
    tell application "Finder"
    set target_folder to folder "MegaSeg Database" of folder "MegaSeg User Data" of docs_folder
    duplicate the_file to target_folder with replacing
    end tell
    -- end script
    This will replace existing files of the same name in the target folder. Hope it helps.

  • All Adobe Creative Cloud apps fail to work, creating new user Home folder fixed it.

    We have Adobe Creative Cloud device licenses.    I had a user contact me yesterday with these problems.
    Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 - error opening, "could not complete your request because the file is locked do not have necessary access permissions or another program is using the file photoshop"
    Adobe Illustrator CC 2014 - error opening, "the operation cannot complete because of an unknown error [cant]"
    Adobe InDesign CC 2014 - would crash when opening, no error given
    These same apps worked when logged in as a different user.
    None of these worked:
    I tried removing all kinds of user Adobe preferences, Application Support files, etc.
    Deleted ~/.adobe
    I fixed permissions on the user's home folder.
    Renamed user's Home/Library to LibraryBak.
    Uninstalling and reinstalling CC.
    What finally worked was creating a new user and copying the contents of the broken user home directory over, except for Home/* level hidden files. (eg: .adobe, bash_history)   Basically I just copied over the visible folders and used the Terminal to copy of the hidden ~/Library folder.
    Does anyone have any idea what the exact cause was?  What file/folder could've been deleted to fix this instead of the longer route I took?

    This wasn't answered and I see that it's still not resolved.

  • Creating Multiple Users in AS Portal using PL/SQL

    Hi Guys,
    I am very new to Portal and I was wondering if there was a way to add multiple users to Portal using a PL/SQL API?
    I have found an API called wwsec_api which has a function add_portal_users but this doesnt seem to work when I try to add a user.
    Any help is much appreciated
    Thanks
    -Mark

    The users are created in OiD, not in Oracle Portal. Oracle Portal just uses OiD similar to other products.
    The following note on http://support.oracle.com provides information about creation of users in OiD both through PL/SQL and Java :
    Note 277771.1 - How to create a new user in OID using the programmatic interfaces
    For Portal, is is important that the users are created below the user search base configured in your Portal application. This is normally something like cn=Users,dc=<your domain>, e.g. cn=Users,dc=acme,dc=org.
    Hope this helps,

    Hi,
    Okay problem solved. What I have done is to create the user with a standard password and then login as that user and change the password using dbms_ldap to the password they selected. I then go on and make the other changes and login to sso.
    Have tested this with the pwdMustChange option turned on and it works a treat!
    Great, thanks for the help though.

  • Unable to create a user home directory ?

    When I use root to create a new account, it can not create a default home directory for this user .

    what's the problem ?

    chances are its the automounter. check /etc/auto_master. it by default includes /home as a mount point for the automount process. if you dont need the automount for /home, comment that line out, save the file, and run automount -v (-v for verbose output). you should then be able to create dirs under /home. or, you could use a diff home dir prefix, or use the automounter (this will take some setup).
