Disable User Access

We have a number of changes we are looking to implement and estimate we would need a 3 hour window to complete. We are proposing the changes be completed during normal hours of operation as it will require support from different teams in our IT department should we run into any issues. We will send a notification informing the users of the planned outage but do we have any way to disable their access so they are unable to connect at all? Our security setup controls access using a combination of team and data access profiles which would require of number of changes so I was looking for an easier solution if possible.
Thanks

Hi Pablo,
you have a lot of unanswered questions, are they all still open?
If you have solved then please close in a correct manner these threads assingning a "correct answer" and eventually add the solution if not present, read please How to close a discussion and why and Are you a responsible person in SCN?
About this issue, putting offline the appsets you're sure that no users can send data or execute packages only admins are allowed to work.
If you have management console installed you can see which users are connected and contact these to exit.
You can also prepare, useful for the future update queries to automatically backup the involved tables, exclude all the user from the teams, hoping you give the security rights to the teams and not to the users, so they will exists in BPC but without rights and when finished to restore the tables.

Disable User Access to Accessibility Pane in System Preferences

Hello Everyone,
What I want to do is have a user account which does not have administrator access have access to the System Preferences App but not access to certain functions. Things I want to disable are Accessibility, App Store, Dictation and Speech, Keyboard, Parental Controls, Secuirty and Privacy, and Users and Groups. The reason for this is that this is something I am trying to get setup for as a new design for the user allowances to assist with some issues that have been reported by teachers for sets of student laptops. As a note they need to be able to access things like the Printers and Network menus because these are laptops which are assigned to the students. They will go home with them so they need to be able to have access to change the settings for networks and add printers.
For some background of changes to the system that I have made. I have given access to the students using Directory Utility so they can edit the print settings without having to use an Admin password by updating the groups settings and adding them to the Pritner Admin's group manually. I am planning on blocking access to certain programs like Terminal because the students are using it to force the laptops to "talk" in class which they think is funny but the teachers are finding it disruptive and have asked that I disable this for them. I also am using Netinstall to mass deploy the image that I am making because I need to deploy this to around 100 devices.
I look forward to any suggestions everyone may have for this.

Hello Baltwo,
I usually post over in the education section when I am posting questions. This is more a question of how do I modify what is available in the system preferences pane than related to me doing a mass deployment. I put those notes in because usually people start off with comments like disable system preferences or why would you want to block access. What I really need is OS specific rather than mass deployment. The search system also loves to look in the iPad forums and just reports back thinks like how to turn the settings back off once they have been turned on. As it stands I do disable the keyboard shortcuts but that does not keep the students out of the pane sadly.
Thanks for the ideas though. If I cannot get an answer here I will try over there next.

Disabling user access to a specific server

Hi,
I want to disable the access of a specific user to a specific server. Is this possible?
Thanks,
Ziv

There are two things I know you can do:
1. In Server Admin, click on the server you are want to block the user from and then click on access from the row of icons at the top. For the services you want to block (from what you posted it would seem like SSH and VPN and maybe a few more) put the users that you want to have access and exclude the user you don't want to have access.
2. In Workgroup Manager, go to computers. There should already be an entry for the server (at least mine was automatically added). Click on the server computer in question and then click on Preferences, then Login, and then select the Access tab from the bar. On the Access Control List you can add the user to the list and then mark their login permissions as deny. This way they will be denied from logging on to the server.

User Administration - how to lock or disable user access?

How can I disable a user or prevent the user from accessing BPC and yet still maintain the user info in the BPC? This is for future reference (tracing) and audit purpose.
Currently we disable the user by removing all team profiles, member access proflles, and task profiles from the user.
Thanks.

Hi Nilanjan,
I am still confused. Maybe my question is not clear. Here what I want to do.
User U currently is assigned to a team EndUserTeam.
EndUserTeam has task profile EndUserTaskPrf and has member profile EdUserMbrAccPrf.
EndUserTaskPrf can excute, submit data, analyze, add comment, etc (typical norma end user tasks)
EndUserMbrAccPrf has access to certain members of applications.
Now, what I want to do is to not allow the user to log into the BPC.
Should I remove the user from team EndUserTeam (which in turns remove EndUserTaskPrf and EndUserMbrAccPrf)?
Or is there a way to block the user from logging into BPC without removing his/her from teams, task profiles, or member access profiles?
From your answers, it seems i have to remove all tasks, all member access permissions, all teams.
Thanks.

I want to disable Internet access to user using GPO

I am using Win Server 2008 R2, I want to disable the users from accessing Internet which are in that OU. Can anyone tell me how is it possible ?

Hi,
Disabling Internet access using software on the client is inherently difficult. The client isn't aware of what is an internal resource (like an Intranet page for example) as opposed to an Internet resource. You can use GPOs to disable specific programs
(like browsers) or to change how traffic is routed by the client but in order to effectively control who can and can't access the Internet, your best bet is a perimeter device like a proxy or firewall that sits between your clients and the Internet and is
integrated with AD so it can manage access to the Internet based on users, groups, IP addresses, etc.
The closest you can come without a proxy is to configure a proxy server address for those users using the Internet Explorer Maintenance component (found under User Configuration\Windows Settings). This proxy can either be a non existent address or
if you want more control over the error messages users get, it can be an internal web server with a page that provide a custom message. The same configuration will allow you to list specific URLs that are exempt in case you have specific web sites, internal
or external that must be available.
Note that this option will apply to all browsing, internal and Internet based, but will only impact IE. Internet access using other browsers or other software will not be impacted unless that software leverages the IE proxy configuration (which many
applications do).
Hope this helps,
Guy

Disabled User, Mobile-Device (Active Sync) still has Access 24h after disabling Account

Hello,
i encountered following issue:
I disabled an User in AD, but the mobile devices of the corresponding User still had access even 24h after disabling the account (iphone 5s, Blackberry Q10). My predecessor was known to abuse some access rights (suspicious gpos, phantom users with way to
many rights, private folder access...).
Our System: Windows 2008 R2 + Exchange 2010 SP3
Are there any hidden settings (in Exchange powershell, ADSI-Settings etc...) to extend the access-validity of mobile devices?
Or is this a normal behaviour?
Thank you and best regards,
Georg

The best way to stop a user from accessing their email via a mobile device when the account is going to be disabled is to go to their account and remove Active Sync from their mailbox. To do so, go to Recipient Configuration, Mailboxes, properties
of the user, Mailbox Features and disable Exchange ActiveSync. then disable the user. Force Active Directory replication as well. Then the disabled user should no longer have access. You can even remove device partnerships or wipe their
device as well.

How can I disable the access to windows 2000(O.S.) from LabView?

I need to disable the access to windows when an application (exe), created by LabView, is running. When the application is running, the user can not acces to windows (for example, execute another application) until he stops the application.
I am using LabView 6.1 and windows 2000
Many Thanks

Hi Francesc,
There are a couple of options for this. One of them could be calling Windows OS activex components and making the Desktop invisible through labVIEW and then bringing it back on after the LabVIEW execution is stopped.
The other option is to modify user settings on the target machine. I have tried this on windows 2000 and it works.
Run "gpedit.msc" from your start menu. In the Group Policy template choose the user configuration that you wish to make the settings for. Expand User Configuration , expand Administrative Templates , and then expand System. Choose 'Custom user interface'
In this panel select 'Enabled' and enter the interface file name, in this case C:\Program Files\National Instruments\Labview 6.1.exe. (or your own filepath\App
lication.exe). Reboot the machine.
This replaces the default windows shell (explorer.exe) with your LabVIEW executable. When the operator logs on, the only thing on his screen is the Labview application. No desktop, no taskbar, no start button.
This can also be done through LabVIEW using register-level programming. But it would be a more complex approach.
Hope this helps.

Possible Cause
When a database is being restructured or any application/database on the server is being copied, you can get this message.
or
When a cube is being restructured, commands are restricted because the integrity of the cube has to be stable and no one is allowed to access it.
or
Copying an application requires that the Essbase security file be in read/write mode and therefore other applications are not accessible until the process is completed.
Possible Solution
In Application Settings, verify that the Allow Commands or Allow Updates options are not selected.
If not selected select those..and try

Remove GrantSendOnBehalfTo disabled user accounts - A novice at scripting

Hello. Can anyone help please
In our exchange 2010 environment we have users who are granted send on behalf to access. Obviously some users leave and I m finding that there are ghosts left behind which are causing issues with our team who add users into the grantsendonbehalfto
option using the EMC. Using the log view we coy out the command and then remove the disabled user from the command and then paste this into an Exchange Powershell command line. This wrks because it is doing what Exchange EMC does which is rewrites
the -GrantSendOnBehalfTo option in it new entirety.
The problem occurs because I need to remove these en-mass from approx 700 plus accounts.
I have tried to modify one user in order to get the script to work but it doesn't.
This is the error message that happens when I run the script below against a known account with at least 2 disabled users in:-
Couldn't find object "xxxxxxxx.xx.xxxxxxx.xxx.xx/DisabledUsers/2013-08/Gaynor Collins-Punter". Please make sure that i
was spelled correctly or specify a different object. Reason: The recipient xxxxxxxx.xx.xxxxxxx.xxx.xx/DisabledUsers/2

This is the script I have used.
# Gather info use get-mailbox -resultsize unlimited$mailboxes = Get-Mailbox zplew1
Foreach($mailbox in $mailboxes)

}If you requiere any more info please let me know.

#1 - I recommend posting in xchange forum fo rhow to do this
#2 - Wen an account is disabled most on the information in the object is hidden. YOu would need to undelete to use the object.
#3 - Get list as text and validaye al values are not deleted accounts. Remove deleted and save back.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Disabling User instead of deleting

I'm using OIM 9031.
I've created a custom access policy which grants user a resource (OEBS) based on his group membership.
When user is no longer a member of group, his account is deleted from assigned resource. How do I change the behavior of OIM so that user account in OEBS would be blocked instead of completely deleted?

Yes, I want the account to be reanabled after the user is a member of a group again. No idea how to change the provisioning workflow...
Maybe, I should add two new tasks, for enabling/disabling user, but then I must somehow incorporate 'enable user' task into my workflow. It may require 3rd task which checks if user account already exists (e.g. is user already provisioned the resource) and depending on response code, it may launch either create or enable task...

Disabled users still in address book

We are running Exchange 2000 on a Windows 2003 / AD platform. Disabled users are still appearing in the Outlook 2003 address book. Shouldn't they be automatically hidden? Users are accessing these addresses and creating emails, but of course can't get to the users.
Firstly, how do I make a list of all users that were disable but are still in the address list. Secondly, what's the best method to hide them (without having to access each one separately) ?
Thanks.

Well, just disabling user account doesn't remove the user name from address book. You need select an option "Hide from Exchange address lists" available in Exchange Advance tab of user properties.
I used to get the list of disabled users which are not hidden in GAL with below custom LDAP query in Exchange 2003.
Open ADU&C, Right click on Domain & click on Find, in Find select "custom search", select Advance tab and in "Enter LDAP Query" paste below ldap query and click on Fiind Now.
(mailNickname=*)(userAccountControl=66050)(!msExchHideFromAddressLists=True)
You may need to verify the value of an attribute "userAccountControl" of any disabled user with ADSIEdit.msc and give that value instead of 66050 because that one I used in Exchange 2003 and Windows 2003 environment.

Best Practice - Securing Schema from User Access

Scenario:
User A requires access to schema called BLAH.
User A is a developer that built an application using this schema in a separate development environment, although has the same privileges mirrored to production (same roles etc - required for operation of the application built).
This means that the User has roles that grant Select, Update etc rights for the schema / table in order to use (and maintain) the applications.
How can we restrict access to the BLAH schema in PRODUCTION, enforcing it to only be accessible via middle tier / application (proxy authentication?)?
We've looked at using proxy authentication, however, it's not possible to grant roles and rights to the proxy account and NOT have them granted to the user (so they can dive straight in using development tooling and hit prod etc)>
We've tried granting it on a session basis using proxy authentication (i.e. user a connects via proxy, an we ENABLE a disabled role on the user based on this connection), however, it causes performance issues.
Are we tackling this the wrong way? What's the best practice for securing oracle schemas (and objects in general) for user access where the users actually get oracle user account (or even use SSO) for day to day business as usual.
To me this feels like a common scenario, especially where SSO comes into play ...

What about situations where we have Legacy Oracle Forms stuff? In these cases the user must be granted select etc rights to particular objects, as this can't connect via a middle tier.
The problem we have is that our existing middle tier implementation is built expecting the user credentials to be passed to it during initial authentication and does not use a proxy, or super user style account. We have, historically, been 100% reliant on Oracle rights and controls to validate and restrict access to our underlying data. From what you are saying, we should start to look at using proxy or super user access and move this control process further up - i.e. into Code or Packages ? If so, does this mean that there is no specific way to restrict schema access to given proxy accounts and then grant normal user accounts to connect through these to get access (kind of a delegated access scenario), without using disabled roles?

Best practice to send report to disabled users

Few users are not on CRM yet. They are setup as deactivated users and user lookup on the Account is a look-up to their user record. They would like a to get an automated weekly email/report
showing the activity (appointments, email, etc.) scheduled for the upcoming week for each of their accounts (where they are the user on the Account)
Here the option we thought of. Can you think of others that are relatively simple to develop?
Give them access to CRM and develop a Dashboard
Dynamic worksheet they can save to their desktop
Scheduled report?   can I setup a report schedule to be sent to the user?

Hi,
    The simplest option is option 1. If they need to access the account in CRM, they would need access to the system. It would be easier and it will not cause any other major customisations etc.
    As the users are disabled users, other 2 options are not valid options.
Hope this helps.

Disable user in OIM

Hi *
when i disable a user, it should not disable the user access to particular resource in which he is already provisioned.
this req. looks pretty simple. but i could not find how to implement this functionality in design console.
pls help me in this regard.
thanks in advance.

@OIM Learner.
If i update AD User ---> Disable User to 'No Effect'
Than while trying to disable user from Admin console it gives error:
User Detail >> Resource Profile >> Ad User -> Dsiable
Thor.API.Exceptions.tcAPIException: Resource is not configured properly.
Class/Method: ResourceProfileProvisioningTasksAction/dispatchConfirmation encounter some problems: Cannot Disable
Later i revert back to AD User ---> Disable User to 'Disable Process or Access To Application'
Admin Console:
User Detail >> Resource Profile >> Ad User -> Dsiable
It disables user from AD.
Is there a way to stop Automatic trigger on OIM User disable. As for our environment user might need to have access to resources even after it being Disable from OIM.
Thanks a lot.
