Duplicated user admins

Hi
I'm trying to help someone sort out their user file permissions.
They originally dragged over a load of files created in Tiger onto their new Intel imac running Leopard, and in the process appear to have duplicated their admin user for file sharing permissions.
A typical file "get info" shows
xxxx (me) - read & write
xxxx (me) - no access
staff - no access
everyone - no access
where the xxxx are identical names and single users.
Clicking on the padlock and entering the admin password does not then allow the bottom three users to be amended or deleted. In accounts system preferences there is only one user.
How do we get back to one admin user in permissions?

are these files in the home directory somewhere? make a new folder somewhere in the home directory and put them all in there. go to the info panel for that folder, unlock the lock at the bottom, click on the "gears" button next to +- and select "apply to enclosed items".
WARNING: NEVER EVER under any circumstances use "apply to enclosed items" on any system created folders. that includes your home directory, your desktop folder, the entire hard drive, Applications folder etc. use it ONLY on folders you create yourself.

I'm trying to reinstall Mavericks on used Macbook Pro. When I log in to my Apple ID, it says it was not the same ID used to purchase Mountain Lion. I need to change user/admin as a lot of the folders and apps are in Chinese!

The first thing you should do with a second-hand computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. How you do that depends on the model. Look it up on this page to see what version was originally installed.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc, which you can get from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. I suggest you install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for some MacBook Air models. If you don't have the media, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
To boot from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
Once booted from the disc or in Internet Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive, which is what you should do.
After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
You should then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. If you want to upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, buy it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.
If the previous owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Apple customer service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able toauthorize it under your ID. In that case, contact iTunes Support.

Password for user admin

Hello,
I have to change the PW for user admin and tried to do this in the ERP/SU01 on every client.
The connection to XI was lost. The error 'can not read exchange profile' occurred.
I reset the password of user admin in all clients to default and entered the user admin and password in the http://<xi-host>:<j2ee-port>/exchangeProfile.
This worked fine.
But now I get the periodic error that user admin on client 200 is locked due to wrong logon and XI does not work. Error as described above
Okay. I can unlock user admin, but the error occurs periodically.
Is there a description how to change the PW for user admin and get rid of this error. I found a SAP Note (936093), is this the way to do it?
I assume user admin is locked every time the portal fails to contact XI, but I am not sure.
Best Regards
Maximilian

Try reflashing the firmware and see if that alleviates the issue. If not call into 866-606-1866 for further troubleshooting.

Read-Only Role For User Admin

Hi, I am trying to implement a role that would enable a user to have the same functionality as the out-of-the-box User Admin role, but that this user would not be able to actually create or modify users, roles assignments, etc.
The idea is to have a 'Display' role - with read-only access.
The solution we are comtemplating right now involves getting the source code from SAP, copying it, and modifying it - disabling any interaction. We would then create new iviews, pages, etc from there only for this role. This is a tedious task.
Any ideas on how else this can be done?
Thanks

I have only managed to do this by creating a role and assigning the relevant User Admin iViews to the role and then changing the End User Permissions on the role.
I assigned the ReadAll Premission. That did the trick for me.
Groups unfortunately require the manage_groups Permission, so we do not allow the viewing of groups.

Error in the ISA User Admin to create users

Hi all
i am not able to create the users thru the ISA user admin. while creating the user for new contact persons we are getting the error as " User Does not Exist" and also while creating the user for existing contact persons we are getting error as " User already Exists". in our project landscape CUA also part along with CRM and Portal. i am not able to find out from where exactly we are getting the error either from CRM side or else from CUA side.

suresh babu

Hi,
You can open any process in an iview which is assigned to a page and to a role. Once you click on this role, the process will get initiated and the webdynpro application will be displayed.
If you open the instantiating url, it will ask for the input parameters that are to be passed to the application and initiates the application. It does not display your webdynpro page.
For the iview you have created, Assign this iview to a page, and then assign it to a role. Assign the role to your user id and then open the role. Also mention in the iview parameters if any role based information has to be passed.
Award points if helpful.

Sujana

ISA User Admin - Mass User Create

Hi,
We are implementing B2B E-Commerce solution, with ISA User Admin as the User Creation mechanism. For roll out we need to create in excess of 2000 users.
Has anyone had any experience of a tool that could automate this process?
Many thanks,
Jon

Hi Jon,
Please see How to get list of FMs while creating Contact Person from User Admin Link for a helpful answer. You could create a data load program in ABAP that creates the objects in the ECC6 system and can be viewed on the webshop.
Hope it helps.

Getting Active Directory Users in UCM User Admin - Users Tab

Hello All
We have integrated WLS with our Active Directory. And we are getting all the active directory users under Security Realms >myrealm >Users and Groups tab in WLS Console.
We are also able to login to webcenter spaces and Content server using those userid and credentials. But our problem is in UCM under Admin Applets - User Admin - Users tab all the active directory users are not listed. So we are not able to assign particular roles to the users.
When a particular Active Directory user logins in UCM (First Time) after that the admisistrator (weblogic) is able to get that user under Admin Applets - User Admin - Users tab. And also it comes as an External user so we are not able to assign role.
So basically UCM requires a login to get all the users listed in users tab.
Our requirement is we want all the Active Directory users to get listed in UCM without the condition that the users has to login in content server once.
Thanks

Hi Navin ,
First and foremost the requirement that you have posted is not possible and the reason for that is :
Users are created on AD which is outside the realm of UCM hence there is no way that the users created on AD will be shown up under Users tab without they login atleast once . UCM does not know which all users are part of the realm until and unless the AD users login in atleast once .
Secondly external users cannot be assigned roles from UCM because when the Auth type is set to External UCM sees it as external entity hence not giving it any way to relate roles / groups from UCM . As a workaround you can change the AuthType for the External users to Global from User Admin applet after the users login for the first time . This will enable you to assign roles / groups for the AD users .
Hope this helps .
Thanks

How I can recover my user admin password of my computer?

How I can recover my user admin password of my computer?
I have an I mac 27 Inch 2009 3.06 GHz Intel core 2 Duo. I cant remember my user admin password to enter my computer to make changes, how can I recover it? I have being entering as a guest user.

You can't recover the password, but you can reset it.
If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know the Apple ID password, then maybe the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password. In OS X 10.10 and later, this option also works with FileVault, but only if you enabled it when you activated FileVault. It's not retroactive. Otherwise, see below.
Note: If you've activated FileVault, this procedure doesn't apply. Follow instead these instructions.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities window appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar at the top of the screen—not from any of the items in the OS X Utilities window.
In the window that opens, type this:
resetp
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window opens. Close the Terminal window to get it out of the way.
Select the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected. You won't be able to do this if FileVault is active.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.
You should now be able to log in with the new password, but the Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as the login password), there's no way to recover it.

Can we lock down user admin functionality to allow password changes only?

Hi,
Is it possible to lock down the user admin functionality so a specific role can only change passwords?
We have a large user base of >10K infrequent users that are forced to change their passwords every 30 days. We suspect a lot will require password changes and we are keen to not have the tech team spending most of their time dealing with such requests. We would like to pass this task onto data management but not allow them the system administrator functionality.
We know we can create a responsibility with a limited menu available so the operator can see only the security/user/define menu. But this will still allow the person to add responsibilities to existing user accounts and create new user accounts, both of which are deemed unacceptable security risks. Is it possible to lock down the form as well as the menu? Allowing operators to only change the password of existing users? Or can we use the custom.pll to error when a user tries to do anything except edit the password field when in this role?
Thanks
Matt

You should be able to do that. You would create a new privilege level (ie 7), assign all commands to that level except (this is my guess) the command vpn-sessiondb, you would put that at a lower privilege level (ie 6). Here's a write-up that may help getting you in the right direction.

5.0 created ISA user roles won't save in ISA user admin URL

We just upgraded from 4.0 to 5.0, in config I assigned these roles & we can see them in the ISA user admin URL.
SAP_CRM_ECO_ISA_WU_B2B_FULL
SAP_CRM_INTERNET_CUSTOMER
We can select them and assign to the box on the right and save, but when we go in they are on the left in the non assigned box. Why won't they save?????
The Z roles from 4.0 can be saved but they can't run ISA application as they don't have all the components.
will give points.

answer was security was not correct

Error in user admin applet

i am getting error message "the current database design invalid. do you want to exit without updating the database". i'm getting this error message recently but unable to recollect what update i had done.
does this have any impact on any of the package feature?

I'd believe it is an error from Configuration Manager, not User Admin.
Take a look here: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/doc.1111/e10978/e01_user_if.htm#BABHCABI
(on the right there is a button "Update Database Design")
In a nutshell, this usually appears if you modify your custom metadata field (create a new one or more, or somehow modify anything), but attempt to close the applet without updating the database design. Note that changes in the applet are not immediately committed in the database, so if you leave the applet, they will be disregarded. No other harm should be done.

Hi Pawan,
SAP Sourcing 10 allow custom script and query-based web services which support OAuth authentication so
client consumer application will consume this web service and if the OAuth handshake is done successfully, then we can verify by going to the Authroizations tab of the User Account of the user that signed on to Sourcing/CLM and allowed the external program to access the particular webservice.
For more insights please refer the Web services cookbook of SAP Sourcing 10.
Hope it helps to some extent.
Best,
