How can I disable printer access on a managed account (guest/kids)?
Is there a way to disable printer use on a managed user account? I have created a limited user account for my kids to use. The problem is, sometimes they visit these websites that allow them to print their "works of art" and by doing so they use up a lot of my printer toner and paper. I don't want to have to turn off the printer and create a giant printer queue as the printer is a network printer shared among other computers. I rather just disable their printing capabilities. Deleting the printer from their user account also deleted it from my main (admin) account. I'm posting this in hopes someone out there knows how to do what I'm asking for. Thank you.
Scotch_Brawth has the basic steps outlined. A few additions I would make is that CUPS is already running on your system in the background. It is the underlying printing system for OS X. The easiest way to control the users of printers is through the web interface to CUPS. This is what is disabled by default in Mountain Lion. You can enable it by using the Terminal (/Applications/Terminal). Copy and paste the following command into a Terminal wndow and then hit Enter or Return:
cupsctl WebInterface=yes
Now you can use any web browser and go to http://127.0.0.1:631/printers/. Click on the link to the printer you want to control. There will be two drop down menus near the top of the page -- Maintenance and Administaration. Use the Administration menu to select Set Allowed Users. The page that will appear lets you enter a list of users to either allow to use the printer or prevent from using the printer. Make the appropriate choices and click the Set Allowed Users button. You will be prompted to enter your administrator's user name and password.
You only need to enable the web interface once. It will then be available unless you use the Terminal to disable it or until an Apple update turns it off again.

How can I disable remote access connection window ?
When I try to connect (via TCP/IP) with a VI in another PC (in my local network) it appears the remote access connection window.
How can I disable this (programmatically if possible) ?
A big thanks for your answers.
LinusRandy,
attached the image of the Remote Access Connection Window that appears when I connect to the VI.
It is the Operating System (Windows) classical panel for Remote Access connections using a modem.
Many thanks.

How can I disable jconsole access?
Hi,
I have a normal JAVA application running an a jdk1.6 VM. For security reasons I don't want allow access to that program by jconsole or any other JMX client. According to the docs I thougt I can disable it with -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote=false but this does not help. jconsole can access my program even if I use this property. Note that I don't want enable some kind of security I simply want to disable the whole JMX stuff. How can I do that?
Thnak you in advance
UlliThere are ways to achieve what you are asking for, but you need to be clear that you are not addressing a security problem. JConsole (and any other tool using the Attach API) can only attach to the same user's processes on the same machine. These are the same processes that the user can connect to using a debugger, and therefore do anything to. JConsole makes it easier to do certain things, but does not fundamentally change the security situation.
There is an RFE open to address this <http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6541693> but in the meantime here are two possible things you can do:
(1) Run your application with -XX:+DisableAttachMechanism. Like all -XX options, this one is unsupported, and could go away in a future version. It will also prevent you from running tools like jstack and jinfo on your application, which could be inconvenient.
(2) Unregister all the MBeans from the Platform MBean Server. (This idea is due to Daniel Lutoff.) Then you will still be able to connect with JConsole, but you won't see any information about the application. The code looks like this:
MBeanServer mbs = ManagementFactory.getPlatformMBeanServer();
for (ObjectName name : mbs.queryNames(null, null)) {
if (!name.getDomain().equals("JMImplementation"))
mbs.unregisterMBean(name);

How can I disable data access on C1-01 ?
I have a C1-01, for emergency use only. Today it displayed an unsolicited "Download Failed", message, and sure enough, my paygo account had been emptied. How can I prevent all data access, ie attempts to update firmware, internet access, etc?
TIA, Richard
Solved!
Go to Solution.easiest way is to contact your network operator and ask them to disable your data plan and all internet access on your device. there are also a few miscellaneous settings in your phone, so you can try deleting access points if they are displayed in the Settings. i would check the phone Settings menu and the Web browser settings for items that you can turn off / disable.

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 ThanksHi 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.

How can i disable terminal access with opendirectory ?
I'm deploying of a OSX Server over OSX Mountain Lion... And i need to limit the terminal (command line) access.
Any suggestion ??
Thanks in advance,
WAs Linc indicated setting an Open Directory account to have an invalid login shell will prevent the user from using Terminal. They will still be able to launch it but will not be able to do command line instructions nor double-click and run scripts, this effectively makes it unusable. You would do this setting using Workgroup Manager per user, it is possible to bulk apply this setting.
Alternative approaches would be to use MCX (Managed Preferences) to deny a user or group permission to run Terminal, or to do something similar via Profile Manager. (It appears that with Profile Manager rather than explicitly denying a particular application you have to grant access to desired applications and this implicitly means denying everything else, personally I find this approach to be bad and feel Apple should give the choice of both defining allowed applications and/or defining specific disallowed applications.)
I would not advise removing the Terminal application nor changing permissions on it. -

How can I disable the assistive touch programmatically ? This is like a bug. Though the Guided access is enabled a user can take screenshot of my application content. How can I solve this ? any idea ....
Question: Do you think the response from the support staff is correct? I mean, surely, I can't be the only CF user on a shared box whose other users need to modify the date and time within their applications. Even if they do it at the application level for their domain, surely it wouldn't affect mine, would it? That was what was implied by the support people, but I have a feeling they are way off, or covering for some goof-up on their end. I struggled like hell yesterday trying to get this to work and I did not get very far at all.
I found an interesting tutorial here which does a comparison of time zones and, theoretically, this might do the trick. But if what the guy told me was nonsense then I won't bother with it. For the record, our calendar has been working fine for about a week now. -
How can I disable input on the ALV gridview?
Hi everybody,
I'm developing an application and would like for my users to be able to view the data in the ALV grid. Actually the only thing they may be able to do are delete rows from the ALV.
I set the ALV grid to editmode so you can insert and delete rows. But how can I disable the Insert functionality without losing the delete functionality?
Is is possible to just remove or hide the 'add row' button in the toolbar?
Thanks in advance
Regards,
WouterWouter,
It is possible to EXCLUDE buttons from the ALV GRID tool bar. You didn't mention if you were using OO or not, therefore I will assume you are not.
* In Global Data
data:
g_exclude TYPE slis_t_extab.
* somewhere before you call the FM to display ALV
PERFORM exclude_icons.
* You will need to find out the FCODE of your Add Row Icon in the GUI Status being used.
* Form exclude_icons
FORM exclude_icons.

How can I disable window snapping/docking?
Ever since CS4 came out I feel like I've been less productive in Photoshop due to annoying window dock/snapping. Windows are constantly sticking and resizing themselves in ways that blocks the work I am trying to do. Also the main image itself automatically resizes to feet the work space and I find this also an annoyance. This is my main question: How can I disable "sticky" windows?
In fact if there a way to get the old classic skin back that would be great, also...because all the programs in CS4 are missing a handle bar at the top of the window, making it difficult to find a place to click to drag the window around...which also wastes time. Sometimes the classic skin is visible underneath buttons in graphic glitches..
Finally, is there a way to disable hardware acceleration completely? My processor is fast enough that it can complete tasks faster than the latency of accessing the GPU, so hardware acceleration actually slows things down. Also the hardware code has bugs in it that prevents me from opening massive images (eg, 21600 x 21600 image crashes).Edit, preferences. Everything is there to play with

Placing a transparent image over the image will keep the less technical user from saving the main image. If they do try to save it all they'll get is the transparent image overlay.
