Creating User Accounts on Time Capsule

Just got my Time Capsule. It's beautiful! My situation: I will be the only one using the disk for a TM backup. Other users just want to store data on the drive. Is there a way to limit access to user data? I don't everyone to be able to see all my files.
Thanks for the help.

It's actually not that hard. Open the Airport Utility. Select the Time Capsule. Then select Manual Setup>Disks>File Sharing>Secure Shared Disks>With Accounts
Then click Configure Accounts. You'll see a + sign. Add an account. I used my User name and password, for ease. Update the station and you're set.
A warning: Once you create the account you will only be able to see the data in your User folder on the TC.
in my case i see things a little differently.
in the sidebar I click on "Time Capsule" and it asks me to connect as (me). I then see 2 shares:
1) "time capsule" and
2) "me" (i.e. the/whatever account name i used/setup using the airport util per same method you describe)
1) is public to all (other users on my mac)
2) is restricted to the user / pwd combination i set up in the airport util
maybe this is a function/result of the fact that when i first setup the TC i didn't set up accounts, dropped a few files on the the drive, then set up a account...?
meanwhile it is all moot because i can't get Time Machine to work with the TC - backup fails because of link errors :s

Can you move files between two different user accounts in Time Capsule?

I copied a bunch of stuff from my old NAS (which used FAT) to Time Capsule under one user account... I then reformatted the NAS to HFS+ so I could just use it as a USB drive connected to the TC. Now I realized that I want to have one of those folders in another user directory. I cannot open two different sessions of the TC on the computer...at least I have not figured out how to do this. Is there a way to accomplish this without copying the folder to my computer, then copying it back to the other user directory? It is several gigs.

you can crop files from one account to another using the Public Dropbox which every user account has. Log into the user that has the files you want to move, then drag the folder you want to the new users' dropbox:
I suggest a small scale test on a few files first before moving gigabytes of files.

Remove admin "Create user account" privileges

I have set up an admin account and installed Norton Family to monitor internet usage. Problem is the admin user is creating another account each time it wants to see restricted sites, and deletes it when done.
The user needs full admin access to install programs and use external drives.
Is there anyway I can disable the "create new user" feature? maybe break something in reg? This admin is the primary account, I'd like to have my windows 7 system running one account only.
Thanks

Hi,
I totally agree with arnavsharma's view.
Windows 7 allows multiple users to share the same computer using different accounts. It is advised that each account on the computer be setup as a Standard User, which has limited permissions, so that it is harder for malware to infect the computer.
Then please follow “How to configure standard user to install driver” tutorial to use external drives
Allow Standard Users to Install Drivers For Devices from Specified Setup Classes

Configure Computer Policy to Allow Non-Administrators to Install Specific Devices
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc725772.aspx
In addition, there is no idea to allow standard users to install software.

Suspect Adobe ARM creating user account

Hello
I was helping a user with a problem about 2 days ago. The problem is that everytime Windows reboots the netbook shows a newly created User Account called icsokern.
The user has a Samsung netbook, Windows 7 Starter & Service Pack 1 as well as ESET AV.
Trying to delete the account doesn't make any difference as the account is recreated after a reboot. However, securing the account I put in a password as well as changed the login time access to 0. When I try to change the applications that the user account can access I see only Adobe ARM as ticked. No other application is ticked. This leads me to believe that Adobe ARM could be creating this account, but there is no logical explanation why?
Checking for a malware reveals no alerts. No quarantined files and Windows' Event Viewer shows no alerts regarding system or application errors.
Having said the above I decided to ask on the Adobe forum to see if anyone else has had this experience and if so what did they do to fix this?
w

Latest Adobe ARM installs task in the Windows Task Scheduler.
If you see this task, can you try to disable it and check if new User account gets created?
If new account no longer created after task is disabled, you can conclude that Task Scheduler does it for some reason, which will need to be investigated.

Access Denied creating user accounts through vba

Hello,
I have a MS-Access application that runs on a Windows 2012 server. My customer logs into the server using RDP. The MS-Access application is started up automatically by means of the environment variable in the user settings. The customer needs to be able
to create new windows users for this application, simply by clicking a button.
The VBA script to create users works, because when I start up the MS-Access application with my own logged on Administrators account, the new users get created. If my customer tries it, he gets 'Access Denied' error. I have added his user account to
the Power Users group, but that did not solve the problem. I also tried to make him member of the DCOM Users Group, the 'Access Denied' error remains...
I do not want to give him administrator priviliges, because he is 'just a customer'...
What do I need to do for this setup to work? I tried altering some DCom settings, but frankly I do not have enough knowledge to feel comfortable with this. Hope anybody can help me out here...
best regards, Rob

Is this a standalone server? Only administrators can create user accounts, so there is no work around for that. You could look at something that has the administrator account/password stored and launch PSEXEC or something else in an elevated session behind
the scenes but that is a security volunerability because the credentials are stored.
If the account is being created in an Active Directory environment you could delegate permissions to the appropriate OU for your customer.

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:
Thanks,

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.

Creating User Accounts So I Can Set Parental Controls?

My nine year old son loves to use YouTube to watch video game videos and apparently there are NO parental controls or any kind of filters on YouTube. The majority of the ones he finds are ok but there's about 15% that are just plain shocking even to me. Its pretty sad the things that people put up there. I hate to have him never be able to get online again so I want to set some sort of filter where I can block content according to keyword but I just cant figure it out at all. So I tried to set controls over the whole MacBook but it tells me that as administrator I cannot. I cant figure out how to create non-admin users though. Searched all the forums and guides, etc. but no answer.
Thanks, so in summary, I just want to know how to create user accounts if thats the right term.
I am using a MacBook, running Mac OSX version 10.4.11.

Hi
Apple menu (top left hand corner) > System Preferences > Accounts. Click the lock to authenticate. Just above the lock are two icons; a 'plus' and 'minus'. Click the 'plus' icon. Enter the name of your son, tab down into the next field and that should autofill for you with the information you placed in the name field; tab down again and enter a password; tab again to key in the password again; don't tick the box that says "allow user to administer this computer"; click 'Create Account'. You should be prompted with a window asking if you want to leave automatic login on or if you want to turn it off - turn it off. You'll see why later on. What you should see after this has finished is in the left hand window at the top your account details with your name and underneath it should 'Admin' and below your account details will be your son's. Underneath his name it should say 'Standard'.
Click on his name to select it and now click on the Parental Controls tab on the right hand side of that window. You should now have the option to enable and configure control for the 5 applications listed there: Mail, Finder & System, iChat, Safari and Dictionary. Explore and configure to your hearts content from there. When you are happy quit out of System Preferences and select Log out from the Apple Menu. You should now be presented with the Login Window displaying not only your account but also the newly created one for your son. Log in s your son and test to see if what you've set as a control has worked. Keep going backwards and forwards between the two accounts until you are happy.
Bear in mind there is only so much you can do.
It's virtually impossible to block everything potentially morally harmful without basically stopping your son from having any access at all. You could look at supplementing Parental Controls with the built-in filters in your router - if you have one? If you don't then consider getting one. I'm struggling to think of a router for residential use that does not have some sort of built-in web filter?
The tab button is the key immediately to the left of the 'Q' key. It will have an arrow going from left to right printed on it.

What do you use to create user accounts?

I have used Passenger to create my school's user accounts in the past. Since upgrading to Mavericks Server 3 I can't import the user accounts from Passenger. Does anyone know of a program that will create user accounts for 10.9?

I downloaded the Passenger 4.2 beta and was able to export a user list that included passwords that I could import into Workgroup Manager 10.9. The format of the export file has changed for 10.9.

Create user account in Child Domain

Dear all.
Kindly, i have Forest contain two domain Root domain, child domain.
in the child domain i can create a user account using the root domain.
i want to stop this. i want the IT Department there create users for there domain only?
thanks
Ashraf Hilal

Hi Ashraf,
Your query is not clear. Do you want to restrict enterprise administrators from creating user accounts in child domain?
By default, Enterprise Admins group is part of Builtin Administrators group in the child domain.
When child domain is introduced, by default Enterprise Admins group is added to Child Domain\Administrators group (Builtin local Security group).

HT4889 Apple Store changed hard disc - created user account ("User"). I ran migration assistant / time machine. All files migrated but on "User" I can't open them. Help!

I changed my Seagate 1 Tb hard disc under the Apple Exchange Program.I received the iMac and the Apple Store created a new account on my iMac ("User"). I connected the Time Machine and ran the migration assistant. All files etc. have migrated. I can see the Macintosh HD and my old user account but am not allowed to open them. How can I get back to my old settings etc.?

what is the message that you get when you try to open a file?
1. You can try to change the permissions to see if they will allow you to write to the file(s).
2. Naviagte to your Home folder Macintosh HD-->Users-->Username and press command+i to get info and on the bottom of the screen click on the lock and unlock the security check, remove your current username and then re-add it and next to the minus symbol click and select apply to enclosed folders

Can't access data after name change of account in Time Capsule

I started using Time Capsule (TC). After transferring data to 3 different accounts. I noticed that the process of entering/ connecting to your account takes to much time. You have to connect every time to the account on TC. Because of this I changed the account names in the Airport Utility to shortened two lettre names. Unfortunately with great negative impact!
I cannot access any data anymore. The new accounts are empty although I can see that there is still data on my TC because the available disk has not changed.Changing accountnames looks like you are creating new ones and blocking the access to the old ones.
1) How can I retrieve the data?
2) Can you create a 'super account' which can access all data of all accounts?

How do you reset?
Hi..
What I wrote is my experience.. there is other opinions out there.
See https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2280
What I experienced was that applying user profiles over existing files resulted in nothing being visible.
But I am eggs spurt by self appointment only.. test everything.. hold to what is right.. reject the nonsense I will on occasion (unwittingly) spout.
To answer your questions.. press the reset button for 1sec will reset all user profiles to default. A longer press and it will get rid of them completely.. You will go back to default settings.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3728
The no user profile option is device password.. or disk password.. when you press reset it will return to device password.. that is the default.
Try what the reference above suggests.. but in my experience you cannot apply user profiles after copying material and still access it.

3 Macs 4 Accounts 1 Time Capsule

Requiered: We as a family wants to use Time Capsule as back up tool and to share our iTunes Libraries. OK, here we go:
MBP: Sharing iTunes Library 1, 1 Account
MB: 3 Accounts and 3 MobileMe Member
iMac: Same 3 Accounts and 3 MobileMe Member
Question 1: Is it possible, to create Time Machine Backup for 2 Accounts of the iMac and 1 Account of the MB?
Question 2: Wich solution fit the best to share iTunes Libraries (all iTunes 9) between all Accounts and all Macs? With a separate TC partition or with the option sharing?

Question 1: Is it possible, to create Time Machine Backup for 2 Accounts of the iMac and 1 Account of the MB?
Time Machine backs up the entire hard drive. It is not specific to a user of the Mac.
So all you need to do is go to the iMac and select the Time Capsule as the destination for it's Time Machine backup and then do the same on the MacBook. It is that easy.

How do I just backup just one user account on Time Machine?

Hello everyone,
I've moved to a new computer with Mountain Lion and didn't have my backup disc available when I first set up the computer. Now, after restoring from my backup, I have two user accounts that I am trying to combine as per instructions here. I know it's challenging and I may have to reinstall the OS and start from scratch, so I'd like to backup before I do it. Unfortunately I haven't plugged in Time Machine since I've used Migration Assistant, because I didn't know if I could or if it'd overwrite my old data.
How can I back up the new computer without creating two user accounts (the ones I'm trying to combine) on my external drive? And please don't recommend just buying another external hard drive. Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks.

Aside from starting over, losing whatever you've done on the new machine, see Pondini's Transferring files from one User Account to another. If you haven't done much and can afford to lose that data, I suggest starting over, following the steps in Pondini's Setup New Mac guide. That should result in just one user account.

Only One User Can Access Time Capsule At A Time

This seems strange....
I've been using the Time Capsule without issue for around a year. I can access it from my Mac Mini with no problem. I can also access it from my Macbook with no problem. When it comes to the iMac, I have two user accounts. One for me, and one for my wife. When my wife tried to access it, the Time Capsule blocked access beyond the root. (So we could select TC from the sidebar, then double-click the TC folder that appeared, then the small icon in the top of the window has a stop sign through it with no folders displayed).
Mine is fine - so I tried to fix it by deleting my wife's keychain passwords to the TC. I reset them and it connected her. However, when I swapped to my account I was locked out!
I reconnected, and I regained access - and now my wife's locked out again!
I haven't got the time capsule set to user account access, so I have no idea where to go from here!
Please help!

I am not sure if this issue is happening because of following observation.
The config is using ip 10.2.10.255 in the VPN pool , we cannot use this ip address as this is broadcast ip in the VPN pool subnet. Do the following and then check connecting vpn clients and post results.
no ip local pool ifn_noc_ips 10.2.10.1-10.2.10.255 mask 255.255.255.0
ip local pool ifn_noc_ips 10.2.10.1-10.2.10.254 mask 255.255.255.0
