Deletion of user group

thanks and regards

Hi Thavaheer,
which user group are you referring to? there are user groups in Ad Hoc queries, user Ids etc.
In case, its Ad Hoc query, then you can delete the user group only if no query is saved in the user group.
In case of user group of user IDs, if any user exists in the user group you won't be able to delete it.

Mass deletion of user groups

Hi..
I wanted to delete a list of user groups in PRD system.
do we have any options to delete in mass, instead of deleting it one by one in SUGR. As we have SU10 for mass user changes.
Thanks...

Hi Deepan,
One way is
1. Go to SE16 -> USR02 table
2. Acquire the list of people belonging to the group you want to delete
3. Go to SU10 -> Click "Authorization Data" , Paste all the users copied in Step 2 and then execute and transfer the list to SU10 and delete all the users.
By the way, i don't recall the source, i read somewhere that it is not recommended to delete users in PRD.

How can I delete a user group that my computer will not delete?

I tried to remove a user group from my desktop following the procedures given. I could remove all but one user.
This is the one I want to remove. How can I do this? I have 4 user groups. Why?, when ever I had trouble and called AppleCare
they had me install a new user group, which I never removed.

Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
dscl . -read /groups/admin GroupMembership
You should get the following output below what you entered:
GroupMembership: root admin1 admin2 ...
where admin1, admin2, ... are the names of the admin users. Is the output what you expect?

Mac book pro Users & Groups deleting problems

I have a Macbook Pro, i believe its a 2008 15 inch, thats just come back from the repair shop.
I added another user (through Users and Groups) changed the settings so that person was the admin and deleted the original user.
Now after roughly an hour it is still saying that it is "deleting user" and if i try to close the window it says -
"System Preferences is busy and can't be closed. Users & Groups preferences is removing a user account and saving the Home Directory to a disk image"
How do i get about this? i do not want it frozen there, is that a way i can cancel all and start again or get it to hurry up and delete?
Thanks

You asked it to save the old User's files, and it is converting them to a Disk Image.
What you asked for is complex, and it will take some time.

How do I delete a User that does not appear in Users & Groups?

A leftover user (former employee account) that won't go away. Phantom User account becomes the default login account regardless of the new employee's login attempts. The phantom account Home folder appears in the Users folder at the root level, but not in the Users & Groups panel in System Preferences. I have logged in as tech admin and deleted the phantom User folder (while it is not the Home folder), but it comes right back again as soon as the new employee logs in as himself. ***???
I'd just updated this iMac to Yosemite, but this issue predates any specific OS update. Has persisted from 10.5 - 10.10. but is becoming an issue with permissions.
Any thoughts other than having to reinstall the OS from scratch? I was about to, but thought I'd see if anyone else has ever heard of this.....

Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
/System/Library/CoreServices/Directory Utility.app
Right-click or control-click the selected text and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu.* The Directory Utility application will launch.
In the application window, click the lock icon and authenticate. Select the Directory Editor tool in the toolbar. Select Users from the Viewing menu in the toolbar, if not already selected. Locate the user you want to delete in the list and click the minus-sign icon at the bottom. Select Groups from the Viewing menu, and look for a group in the list with the same name as the user you just deleted. If found, delete. Quit Directory Utility.
Be very careful when editing the directory. Many hidden users and groups are present by default, and are needed for the normal operation of OS X. Never delete or modify a directory entry unless you’re sure you know what you’re doing. If in doubt, leave it alone.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

I successfully deleted a user from my MacBook through the Users and Groups window in System Preferences. But now I cannot close the lock in the bottom left corner of the box. When I click on it, I briefly see a word that I think says "reauthorizing" but the word flashes too quickly to tell for sure.

If you are admin.
Try restarting your Mac.

Will deleting user & group accounts make server inoperable or damaged? See ScreenShots

Should I delete the unknow users and groups below? I have no idea what there purpose or intent is.

Those entries are related to various operations operations of your system and your server. If you scroll down through that user list, you'll find the web server user; the environment that runs the Apache web server, for instance.
Bad Things will happen if you start deleting those users and those groups. OS X intentionally hides a number of users (technically those with user IDs below 500) just because folks were modifying or deleting them and getting into trouble. Some deletions might not be noticed, or might not be a problem until you need the associated component, and deleting certain other users could cause immediate problems.
If you wish to learn more about the Unix underpinnings of OS X (and OS X Server) and about the environment that these users operate in, then that will probably best be via the command line and Terminal.app and more direct exploration of the Unix command line and operating system.
Otherwise, you will probably want to disable viewing the system accounts, and leave those existing entries unmodified.
In general, I'd avoid deleting and modifying bits, at least to start with. If (when?) you do decide to start making to hidden users and Unix-layer settings, either use a test system, or have a backup should the modifications not work out, or both. Have a path to recover your data.

Using the WLS 7.0 default realm can users/groups be added/deleted within a web app?

If I use the default realm provided in WebLogic Server 7.0,
is it possible for me to programatically add/delete users/groups
from within a web application? Is there an API I can use to
add/delete users/groups from the embedded LDAP server? Or can
you only add/delete users/groups using the WebLogic Admin Console?

Tom,
The below is the program for creating a new user:
import weblogic.management.MBeanHome;
import weblogic.management.configuration.DomainMBean;
import weblogic.management.configuration.SecurityConfigurationMBean;
import weblogic.management.security.RealmMBean;
import
weblogic.management.security.authentication.AuthenticationProviderMBean;
import weblogic.management.security.authentication.UserEditorMBean;
import weblogic.management.security.authentication.GroupEditorMBean;
import weblogic.management.utils.InvalidParameterException;
import weblogic.management.utils.AlreadyExistsException;
import weblogic.servlet.security.ServletAuthentication;
import javax.naming.NamingException;
import javax.naming.Context;
import javax.naming.InitialContext;
MBeanHome mbh;
try{
Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
env.put( Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,
"weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory" );
// use administrator account in order to create a user
env.put( Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, "system" );
env.put( Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, "weblogic" );
Context ctx = new InitialContext( env );
mbh = (MBeanHome)ctx.lookup( "weblogic.management.home.localhome" );
catch( NamingException e ){
throw new ServletException( e.toString() );
DomainMBean dmb = mbh.getActiveDomain();
SecurityConfigurationMBean scmb = dmb.getSecurityConfiguration();
RealmMBean rmb = scmb.findDefaultRealm();
AuthenticationProviderMBean providers[] = rmb.getAuthenticationProviders();
for( int i = 0; i < providers.length; i++ ){
if( providers[i] instanceof UserEditorMBean ){
UserEditorMBean uemb = (UserEditorMBean)providers;
uemb.createUser( username, password, "dynamically created user" );
hope this helps,

I am not connected even though I am.
It is showing you are connected, but the signal strength is low.
bookmarks
Those are what is in the Favorites bar. They can be changed by deleting the from the Favorites bar. To add others, add them to the Favories bar.
How can you remove that app?
You can't.
Un-install CleanMyMac. It can damage the entire system.
Myth of the Dirty Mac
CleanMyMac - Uninstall
CleanMyMac2 Un-install
If you are going to re-install, make sure you have 1 or preferably 2 full backups using Time Machine and/or a clone.
Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

Server 10.5.7 upgrade deleted all user and group Info -- Receiving error -1

After upgrading our Dual 2.0 G5 server that was running 10.5.6 to 10.5.7 all groups and user information lost access. In addition when starting the workgroup manager error -14008 appears. Also when we look into the console log the following shows up
------------com.apple.launchd[1] (edu.mit.kadmind) Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds
over and over
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I looked into A&I more, maybe it's not as nuclear as I thought. I presumed it meant I needed to reinstall all non-apple Apps, which means digging up disks and codes, none of which I have here. I'm away from home for another 4 weeks, which means doing that is difficult.
Being away is also why my back-up is a little out of date, I didn't bring the time machine drive for that MBP with me. I had it shipped to me as soon as I had problems, but the back-up I'd have to roll back to is now 1-2 weeks old and might still have the funky user:group problems since my timezone problems began before the 10.5.7 update.
I think DiskWarrior may of finally repaired the user:group issues. Not 100% sure but it's looking better. I just noticed that the primary user is admin but User is 502 and Group is 502. Whereas my secondary user account (also Admin) on that MBP User is 501 and Group is 20. My recollection is 20 is staff and both users groups should be 20.
I'll look into A&I more, probably do it when I get home.
Thanks.

How to delete a user in SAP-CPS Version 7.0

Hello,
I created my users via UME ( User Management Engine of Java Application server). Unfortunately I used the wrong name convention, so I had to recreate all the users in UME. Afterwards I delete all wrong users in UME.
Than I tried to login with my new user in SAP-CPS (users are normally created in SAP-CPS during first login) but I get the error message that I reached the maximum number of 10 users allowed in the basic version. No problem I thougt, I simply delete the wrong ones in SAP-CPS. But I do not know how to delete a user! I could not find any menu item or any describtion in the manualls how to delete an user in SAP-CPS.
I remove the users from any Isolation group, I disabled all the users but still I could not find any way to delete them.
Has any body a hint for mor.
Kind regards
Frank Morleo

Hello Anton,
deactivating the unused users made it possible to login with the new ones.
Thanks for your help.
Now I have to find out how to clear the deactivated users from the list.

Frank

Trash and user group help!

why do i need to type in password when i delete things? how do i remove it?
and i can't delete items directly from the dock as well. like opening from the downloads folder and dragging the file to trash. i have to bring open up Finder and delete from the folder directly.
another issue is that am i able to remove the gues user from my start up screen? i've already disabled it from the user groups but i still see it in my login screen.
one last problem, is it a norm to have current leakage for the MBP? i've been having frequent shocks from the 2 bottom corners of it when i plug it in to a power source. i bought it from an authorized retailer and using it in the country where i've gotten it from. i've just gotten my mbp about 3 weeks back.
thanks for replying my queries!

Hi,
Yeah in ACS 3.1 its under the Shared Profile Components page. In ACS 4.1 its directly under the user groups or under SPC page.
You need to check the box for "define ip based access restriction" and deny access for all other groups to the wireless access points network device group.
ACS 3.X)
1. Denied Calling/Point of access restrictions
2. AAA Clients =UPS_PDU (Power Supplies)
3. Port = just put a * for all
4. Src IP address = just put a * as well
SUBMIT to SAVE
Create a second one for the other group like so:
1. Denied Calling/Point of access restrictions
2. AAA Clients =Routers_Switches
3. Port = just put a * for all
4. Src IP address = just put a * as well
Click submit to save it.
Go to the ACS User groups section and select the Network Administrators Group " that don't need access to the UPS's" and apply the NAR you created to that group. Do the same for the other grouping.
(ACS 4.X)
Go directly under the "user groups" and create the NAR under there. No need to go under the Shared Profile Components section
Hope this helps and let me know if you need further assistance or explanation.

How can I delete phantom User ID's in quota list?

When I go to the Quotas tab in Server Admin I notice that there are about 40 User ID's (1631, 1632, etc.) listed along with the 150 user names on our Xserve. These User ID's correspond to user accounts that I deleted last year or at the beginning of this school year. They are still listed as having their assigned quotas. However, the accounts do not show up in WorkGroup Manager.
Does anyone know why these accounts are still hanging around after I deleted the users in WGM, and how I can permanently delete them?
This is on a G5 Xserve running Mac OS X Server 10.4.10.
Thanks,
Matt

Hi Matt,
After doing some research on the internet I managed to find a solution to the problem. Try executing 'quotacheck -a' from the command line.
Quotacheck validates the file storage data with the quota information used to report quota information. There's some very good information at http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/aix/library/au-satdiskmon.html
They also suggest running this automatically using cron -- once a day should be fine.
Quotacheck description taken from the man pages:
+Quotacheck examines each filesystem, builds a table of current disk+
+usage, and compares this table against that recorded in the disk quota+
+file for the filesystem. If any inconsistencies are detected, both the+
+quota file and the current system copy of the incorrect quotas are+
+updated (the latter only occurs if an active filesystem is checked). By+
+default both user and group quotas are checked.+
Regards,
Patrick
