Hide Running Apps from Standard Users

Hello
How can i hide running apps from a standard user?
Ex
I would like to have team viewer running in the background so anytime i want i can administrate the mac ..But if the user quit from app i'm not able to log in.
So i'm thinking to make him unable to quit from the app either have the app running in the background..
Any ideas?
Thnx

Be aware that the major difficulty in using your own encryption routines is key management.
- If you store the key in the database, the DBA can obviously just call the appropriate decrypt routine, pass in the key, and see the data
- If you store the key outside the database but expose it somehow in a way the database can see, you've got the same problem.
- If you store the key outside the database in a way the database cannot access, then only the applications that know how to access the database and know how to access the key can decrypt the data. That can be annoying if you try to use a reporting package or other third party software that needs to see decrypted data and doesn't know how to decrypt the data. You'd also have to make sure that the DBA doesn't have access to whatever machine you're storing the key on for other reasons (i.e. because the DBA is the backup to the admin)
- If you don't store the key at all, you can force users to pass it in when they want to decrypt data. That obviously runs the risk that someone forgets the password because not enough people know it or that so many people know it that its no longer a secret.
- Plus, you have to deal with things like figuring out how you revoke/ change a key, how you synchronize backups of the database with backups of the key without DBA intervention, etc.
These tend to be much harder problems than figuring out how to encrypt the data on the way in.

My kids have somehow deleted lots of my apps. can i move apps from one user to another?

my kids have deleted alot of my apps from my account. Is there a way to transfer apps from one user to another?

You can export albums as a new library, just like you exported your projects. Then merge the albums into your library on your other computer.
When you export a selection of albums a a new library, Aperture will export and include the originating projects as well, so the exported library needs to be merged into the destination library, not "added", otherwise you will have duplicates.
For example: Exporting a project with two albums:

Hi
I work & manage domain environment.
There is a particular file that I want to give it administrator privileges so that he can make changes to the system.
The file should work for users who do not have local administrator permission.
I prefer to avoid creating batch File because I want to give the permission to the application itself.
I did not find solutions on the net, and what I found is not working.
also the black\white list at the policy management does not change anything.
Thanks

Hi,
Could you please have a share about which file that you would like it to have admin rights here?
There seems to be not possible to achieve such goals in addition to scripts or some 3rd party tools.
Besides, please take a look at the below thread to see if they could help here:

Running scripts from Java user permissions

I have a web based application running on JBoss application server. It during its processing of certain requests has to call some cshell scripts using Runtime.exec(). Now it seems to be working fine in development environment, however on testing environment it seems to freeze. On further debugging, and digging up the issue it came up that it could be a permissions issue, as certain users have the permissions to run the scripts and some don't.
The Question therefore would be that, once a script is executed from an app server, which user is used? and in order for the script to be executed who should be granted permissions.
Thanks in advance.

When any application starts another application (java or otherwise) it does so as the same user by default.
The user running the JBoss is the user used.
This is how all OSes work (to my knowledge)
Which operating system are you using?Thanks, in that case I have a second question. Is there a way to force a certain user? I mean somebody other than the one who started the app server programmatically?

Cannot unmount disk from standard user account (bound to AD)

I have an intel iMac running 10.8.2 with problems unmounting disks. This isn't an issue from administrative accounts. However, any standard account requires authentication by an administrator to unmount a disk. I ran top while trying to unmount the disk and noticed that the daemon securityagent kept emerging. Unfortunately I can seem to modify any config or plist files to stop this prompt from happening. I need standard users to be able to mount and unmount disks from the machine. Here is what I've tried:
Safe booting
removing the plugin at /System/Library/CoreServices/SecurityAgentPlugins/DiskUnlock.bundle
Writing an Applescript running a diskutil command with administrator privileges (I'm sure the syntax was fine because it worked on a 10.7 machine)
removing com.apple.unmountassistant.useragent.plist
Disk Utility
I might be forgetting a step or two but that's about it. Any ideas?

Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
Could Spotlight or TM be running on those drives in that account?

Clear another user's print jobs from standard user account

I have Parallels set up to print from Windows through Bonjour printer sharing with Mac OS X. Periodically print jobs I've sent from Windows will hang, or for some other reason I need to cancel them. Because I usually use a standard user account, I apparently can't delete them from the print queue--or, rather, I can, but then they just appear again. I can get rid of them by fast-switching over to the admin account, opening System Preferences, opening the Print & Fax pane, opening the queue, deleting the jobs, logging out, and then logging back in to my standard account. But that's kind of a pain, and I've been trying to find a faster way to do it.
I have some extremely rudimentary knowledge of Terminal, and came across the sudo lprm - command, which seemed like it would do it. I had thought that sudo would just ask me for an admin password, but when I tried it, of course, I discovered that what it apparently actually wants is for my standard user account to be in the sudoers file (or, I guess, for me to have root enabled and use that password somehow).
But since I don't really know what I'm doing, and doing anything with sudo or root access scares the bejesus out of me unless I know exactly what I'm doing: Can anyone tell me exactly what I need to do here? Is there a way to run the lprm - command to clear everything out of the print queue with just an admin password, without requiring root access? Or have I gone completely off the rails and missed some other easy way to clear another user's print job from a standard user account without resorting to Terminal at all?
Thanks!

OK, never mind--I had assumed I needed to work some sort of admin privilege into the mix to do this, since that's what the GUI seemed to require, but it turns out that just using "lprm -" in Terminal clears it right out. Perfect!

Running under a standard user in windows 7

We just bought Photoshop Elements 13 and when the user tries to run the program it run really slow and freezes quite a bit. This user is a standard user in Windows 7 no Administrative rights. If you right-click the icon and choose Run As Administrator it then runs like it is intended to. We don't allow our users to run as Admin so I need a fix for this. The only other thing I am wondering is that the computer is in a Active Directory Domain environment and we push our Group Policies to our systems. One of the policies redirects the users folders to a server share so the My Documents, My Photos, etc. are actually on the server drive not the local drive. Is that part of the problem?
Any insight would be awesome!
Thanks,
-Scott

I agree with Erland.
SQL Service account is used while performing any OS level operation by SQL Server process (sqlservr.exe). On the other hand, the account which is connecting to SQL Server will have it's own permission in Server/Database provided via Logins/Users.

Running Apps from an External Hard Drive.

Is it possible to download a massive app from the app store like Bioshock Infinate (30 Gigabytes), copy it from your applications folder in finder to the hard drive, and then run it from the hard drive?

That's not needed.

Select Choose library and select the iTunes folder on the external.
so where is this folder that i should trash?

How to hide an iView from a User w

Hello Experts.
Is there any way to hide an iView from some group of people?
Fox example, we have a role (Role A) containing a page containing the iView (Role->Page->iView) and we want to hide this iView for users that don't have some another role or group. Is it possible to hide this iView even for users who have Role A?
Best regards,
Timur Semenchuk.

Hello Timur,
that sounds... complicated. This is probably one of those cases, where a nice drawing or screenshot would help a lot to understand.
Is this homepage already there? Do I understand that correct, that it will contain links in the detailed navigation, that are iviews and those link to documents (in the KM for example) that have infos like pictures etc in them?
And you just want to show those iviews on this start page, if the user has the roles, that are needed to show the content that is displayed AFTER you click on a link in the document in the iview on the start page?
If I understood correctly, why don't you put those start iviews (let's call them like this for now) into the roles, that they should display? This way, only a user that can use the content after the jump can see the start point.
So every iview in the start page is part of one of the roles, that the user has. Or can an iview have content, that leads to different displays, depending on which link/banner he click in the iview content?
Like I said, I wouldn't do this via the PCD permissions. It's not very practical and later on hard to maintain.
Regards,
Steffi.

Win7 64 bit, FF 3.6.12, Acrobat Reader 9, can only open pdf file if I run FF as an administrator. Will not open if FF is run as a standard user.

If I run FF in a standard user account (non-admin) pdf files will not open. If I start FF in the standard user account but right-click FF and "run as administrator" the same pdf file will now open fine.

( links in emails )
this is what fixed my issue with links in my windows live mail
in Firefox go to tools >options >advanced > general tab > at the bottom click the check now button to make sure Firefox is your default browser . if its not click yes to make it default now your links in emails should open in Firefox properly

Install and run app from App Store on external hard drive?

I just made the switch from a MBP to an Air, and am figuring out how to best utilize an external hard drive (1 TB) to save space on my internal drive (128 GB).
I am not sure how the performance will be, but I would like to at least try out running Bioshock Infinite (39 GB, purchased through the App Store) from the external drive. My biggest hurdle right now is figuring out how to properly install the app on my external drive. Here's what I've tried so far:
1. When I try to install it from the App Store, there's no way to choose where it is installed, and because I don't have much space left on my internal drive, I of course get the error that there is not enough disk space available to install.
2. When I copy the app from my old MBP to my external drive, and then try to run it on my Air, I get an error that the file is corrupt, and am told to reinstall it.
What can I do to be able to play Bioshock Infinite on my Air without it taking up nearly a third of my internal drive space? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the Apple Discussion Forums!
I will have to think about your problem for now. But an easier way to copy your CD's to your computer is:
On iTunes, open up preferences then click on the "Advanced" tab. You will then see "iTunes Music folder location. And you will see where your music is being saved on your computer. There are two boxes to the right that say "Change..." "Reset". Click on the "Change..." button and select your folder on your MyBook. iTunes will now import the music from your CD's into that folder AND this is where all of your music will need to be if you want to play it on your computer. What this is doing is pulling the music from the folder that you selected other than the folder on your computer.

How do I remove or at least "hide" purchased apps from my iPad. With the help of Apple support by phone, I "hid" unwanted purchased apps from my Macbook Pro; when I returned to the iPad all unwanted purchases were still there?

How do I remove or at least "hide" unwanted purchased apps from my Ipad? Posed the question to Apple senior support this evening and we went to the Itunes store and removed all the unwanted icons from the collection of hundreds, one by one. Cleaned up the Mac Pro nicely, leaving about 10 apps I wanted to keep. Went back to the Ipad and they were all still there. Senior support hasn't gotten back to me yet. Any ideas? Thanks. kjbarnett

Since hiding them on your Mac (you did it via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the store homepage ?) have you tried logging out and back into your account on your iPad ? I haven't tried it on the IOS 7.1.1, but with iOS 7 there was (or maybe still is) a 'feature' that meant that after hiding them you then needed to log out and back in on each iOS device for them to become hidden from the Purchased tab in the App Store app on it - tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and log out and then log back in.
