Creating read-only calendars for syncing

How can I create a read-only or protected calendar?
Is it possible to create a calendar which, after syncing with the family computer, would be read-only, protected or non-editable, by the family computer user?
Thank you,
cj

You're mixing metaphors here: 'publish and subscribe' and 'synchronize' are two independent processes. You can do both, but most users generally limit sharing calendar information to one or the other.
Publication creates a read-only, public object to which others can subscribe if they know your calendar URL. Calendars can be published on .Mac or on a private WebDAV server.
Synchronization allows the sharing of calendar data in read-write fashion across multiple machines or devices, generally for a single user. Groups can, to a limited extent, share such data with a .Mac family pack, or can use SyncTogether to share data among mixed workgroups, on a single machine among multiple users, across a subnet or over the internet.
How you enable these technologies depends upon what you want to achieve. If you want a calendar to be viewable by someone but not editable, then you publish it and let them know that they can subscribe to it. If you want someone to be able to edit one or more calendars on a selective basis, then you use SyncTogether to synchronize them by allowing another user read-write access to a collection (but not necessarily all) of your calendars.
You are starting at the head end of the process and attempting to configure these tools to offer services. What you need to do is just the opposite: determine what outcome you want to achieve, then configure one or more of the technologies to support that specific outcome. With SyncTogether, you can do that on a different basis for each synchronized user in your workgroup.
Publish only if you are willing to let non-editable data exist publicly. Subscribe if you want read-only access to one or more calendars. Synchronize if you want multiple users to be able to add, change or delete event and task data.

Is it possible to create read-only users in OM

We have several tasks where creating Read-Only access for non-OM users who require information from specific data fields in OM on a regular basis would be helpful. Currently those users must interrupt the daily work of those Oracle users with OM access in order to get their queries answered; obviously this can be quite disruptive.
Have been told by our IT dept/OM users that creating read-only users is not possible and have not found any general information about the topic via Internet search, so I am posting this general query.
Are there license issues that would prevent this?
Security issues?
Customized OM?
Or is it just too complex to do without creating headaches for a firm's IT department?
Thanks
Lisa

You will have to create new functions with parameter query-only = Yes.
And then create a new menu with those new functions.
And then attach the new menu to the Read only responsibility.
Also see Re: How to change OM responsibility as read-only in oracle applications 11i and the links in that thread.

How do I create a new calendar for the current year, using last years calendar's birthday's/photos and comments from the lower pages?

Each year for the past 5 years I make a family calendar and send copies to all he family members around the globe. I hate that I have to recreate all the birthdays and special occasions from scratch, and re-drag all the photos onto these dates, in the lower half of the page of each month on the new calendar. How can I create a new calendar for the current year and port all of these photos/comments into the new calendar from last years calendar, to save having to redo all this work!! I am not talking about the upper half page of the photos only...I am referring to the calendar page of each month.
Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Open iWeb so you see your original site in the left hand pane. Use the File->New Site menu option to create a new site. Give it the name you want.
Now select a page in your original site and type Command+D. That will duplicate the page. Drag the duplicate page down to the new site and rename it as needed. Do that for the other pages you need in the original site.

One of our Macs creates read-only files.

We've got five macs on a network, using open directory on a Xserve. In Workgroup Manager the settings for all the Macs are identical. Four of the macs work fine, but any file created by the fifth machine has read-only preferences for the other users, regardless of who's logged in.
Any ideas what's going on?
Steve

Sorry, forgot to mention we're on XSan 1.4, OsX 10.5.6, all the Macs are Intel.

Read Only Calendars are no longer showing up in the Delegates listing

Earlier this week I had a Calendar (the boss's calendar), disappear from all the users that had Read Only access. All of the users that had Read/Write access can still see the Calendar. A couple of days later, I had another Read Only Calendar disappear from users iCal.
Our Calendar data is stored on a Snow Leopard Server based XServe using Apple's built in iCal Server. The calendars that are diappearing no longer appear in the Delegation tab of the Accounts section on the User's individual iCal app preferences. If I move the user to the Read/Write group, the calendars re-appear.
Any suggestions?

Hi David,
Are there any iCal logs that you could share that would give a hint of the problem?
Are you using Mobile Access on that same server?

Is BAM-reader only available for US IDs?

Is BAM-reader only available for US IDs?

I see it in the USA App store. If you can't from your store, I would assume it's not available in your country. AFAICT, all their physical stores are in the USA.

How to create read only disk image?

I used to be able to create read-only encrypted disk images with Disk Utility in Mac OS 10.4.x (Tiger). In the Leopard version (10.5.7) of Disk Utility, the 'read only' option seems to be gone (but I can still do encryption). Does anyone know how this can be done?

A blank empty read only disk image has never been possible. If it's read-only, it cannot be modified, and so it would be blank and empty forever. Not much point in that.
If you want read-only and encryption on your finished disk image, you'll have to put your files into a folder, and then do File -> New -> Disk image from folder.

Want to create a Read Only user for a given app owner user

Hi Folks,
We have an application owner schema, lets call it OWNER, which has different objects living under it.
Now, for certain reasons, the app group wants a read only user which should be able to view objects living only in OWNER. It would only be able to read things, and have no create or alter types of priv to be able to change anything.
The first idea was to create a new user (e.g. RO) and give this explicit grants (select only) for all objects in OWNER. Though this works, is a maintenance havoc, since everytime there is a new object in OWNER, you have to remember to give explicit grants to all RO (or RW ) kind of users.
What i am looking forward to is, some sort of privilege or role concept that apply on the user level, and not on object level. something that allows me to say, all objects of this schema (e.g. OWNER) are visible to user RO. Other restrictions on RO would control read or write behaviour.
Does this thing exist ? please point me to the documentation/example..
regards
raghav..

/This works. But, my problem is that it is not able to filter out the Grant statement itself, Its logging an entry for the grant (as a ddl operation as well).
what am I doing wrong here ?

How to create a read only access for database

I am developer but willing to lear some of the dba tasks. I would like to know the steps that i need to take to creat a read only access database that is going to be used for the report development.
I really appreciate if you tell me all the steps I need to create that. I have a full right to do this in the develpment database. thanks

thank you for your reply but it does not tell me how i can set up a read only access acccount for the user. Do i need to create a role and assign the role to the users?

I only create Read Only folders can't set permissions for any file but mine

My issue is I have 25 users and an X-Serve and it seems like all the users
do not have the same permissions. More specifically if a user creates a
folder on the server only that user can access it. This is the same if the
user creates the folder on there desktop and then copies the files to the
server. But if they copy a "read only" folder or file (this happens more
with files) to there desktop and then they open the file save it and place
it back on the server there is no problem.
I also, have a user that whenever she creates a folder it automatically
set's itself to read only. No matter whether she copies from her desktop to
the server or visa versa. Every folder she creates is protected this way
here settings are all the same as everyone else. So I'm not sure if she is
unique or if the settings for my users are incorrect.
I did not set up the server or the user's so I'm really trying to catch up
quick. We are really suffering in that it totally slow's things down almost
to a crawl in some cases. I really hope you can help me out with this I've
attached some screen shot's and the X-Serve system profiler for background.

Creating a 'read-only' group for Worklist app

Hi,
Is there a simply way of creating a group with 'read-only' access to the Worklist ? e.g. through a combination of BPM roles ?
I want to be able to create a class of user who can view the details of Worklist items but have absolutely no other rights (skip, retry, assign etc).
Regards
Bob

One simple way to achive this task is by using FYI pattern.
Remove the actions from taskconfigvariablename.xml (for ex accept and reject).
in case you are already using any pattern in your project, FYI pattern should extend that already created pattern.

How to create mandatory (read-only) profile for Terminal Services user (HP Thin Client) on Server2003... aaarrgghhh!

I've been tearing my hair out for a couple of days now...
I'm trying to create a mandatory profile for users logging in from hp thin clients on a 2003 server at a school.
I've set up a prototype user, then copied the proto user's NTUSER.DAT to NTUSER.MAN and renamed
NTUSER.DAT to NTUSER.DAT_unused.
At that point, logging in as the prototype user looks ok. It was my understanding that renaming NTUSER.DAT to NTUSER.MAN would make it a mandatory profile, and the user (in this case the proto user) would be unable to change it. However, in this
case the user can still modify the desktop and those modifications are preserved across logins. The NTUSER.MAN file is being updated, judging by the timestamp changes.
What am I missing?
I've tried putting the NTUSER.MAN in the user's dir on the server
(C:\Documents and Settings\ProtoUser),
in the DefaultUser, and in AllUsers.
Right now I'm getting a default, unmodifiable profile which I have no idea where it comes from.
In case it matters, the original user and directory tree from which the NTUSER.MAN I'm trying to use has been deleted, but I wouldn't think that should matter.
For example, I have the option to not show the security tab set in the group policy, but it is showing up.
The Start menu is showing as the classic start menu, and I had it set for the "new" (2 column) one.
I've got hide network places on the desktop set, but it's showing up.
Is there a way to tell where a profile is coming from?
I'm pretty confused at this point; any clarifications / tips would be much appreciated.
Related questions:
If both an NTUSER.DAT and an NTUSER.MAN exist, which is used?
If no profile is found for a user in the normal place, what happens?

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
A mandatory user profile is a special type of pre-configured roaming user profile that administrators can use to specify settings for users. With mandatory user profiles, a user can modify his or her desktop, but the changes are not saved when the user
logs off. The next time the user logs on, the mandatory user profile created by the administrator is downloaded. There are two types of mandatory profiles: normal mandatory profiles and super-mandatory profiles.
User profiles become mandatory profiles when the administrator renames the NTuser.dat file (the registry hive) on the server to NTuser.man. The .man extension causes the user profile to be a read-only profile.
User profiles become super-mandatory when the folder name of the profile path ends in .man; for example, \\server\share\mandatoryprofile.man\.
