How do i allow guest users to access programs such as word or excel

I have Office installed on my MacBook Pro but I need to let somebody else use it for a training class, i want to let them to log in as a guest but still have access to Office, when you log in as a guest you don't really have any programs available, help would be appreciated!

I would have thought that all applications which are properly installed in the Applications folder would be available to all users, including Guest. That's the case on my machine. Is your MS Office installed in your **user** application folder (in your home folder, which limits applications to that user) or is it at the top level of your folder hierarchy (which is where you should be installing applications which you want to be available to all users)?

Ditto. Guest accounts shouldn't have a password. No way to enter one in System Prefs...

How do I allow another user to access my pictures, etc?

Hi
still getting used to the Mac feel, after switching over from Windows, and I have a question that I can't seem to find an answer to.
I have the following issue:
Under my account, I have all our family photos and documents. I have also set up a user account for my wife. When she logs on, she can't access our photos, etc., because she has no read/write rights. (Which is logic, since they are my "private" folders.
I have then logged on myself, used the "info" button on the respective folders in order to give her user the rights to access my folders, but I can't seem to "allow everyone" to access the folder(s). What are the settings I need to use?
Thanks

Hi,
I have tried to recreate this myself, and your right even after changing ownerships and movie the iPhoto library to the public folder ( Harddrive/Users/Sharing) the second account is still not allowed to access the library. This is strange behaviour because moving the iTunes Music Library to Sharing does allow all users to access the library.
All I can suggest is that you deselect the option in iPhoto preferences (Advanced) to "copy files to iPhoto library" then store your photos in a folder that resides in the Harddrive/Users/Sharing folder - then your wife can use the import command to add them to her copy of iPhoto (she should also deselect the copy to library option)

How do I allow "Guest" account to access my music?

I can't believe I am having such a difficult time with this.
I'd like all the accounts I have set up to be able to access my music library. And if I add music I'd like each account to access the new music without having to update each library. I've read other posts and I can't quite grasp how I share the library.
If I can't share it, how do I move the library from my folder to the guest folder?

It's even worse!
I tried putting the music folder into the shared folder.
I still couldn't access them from the guest account. And worse, I can't get them back into my original account. They are not erased (thank god!), I can see them in a folder, just can't pull them up on itunes.
Should I do the "consolidate music"? I'm leary of making a whole copy as I don't have enough hard drive space.
Now I am going to rant....This should not be that difficult!!!

How do I allow other users limited access to iPhoto?

I am seeking to create other user accounts for my Mac that will allow my wife and my 8 year old to view photos in iPhoto but will not allow them to screw it up (i.e., will not allow them to edit or delete any photos, etc.). Is there a way that I can give them access to view only? Thanks.

When you share a Photo Stream and invite a family member to view it, the family member will see the photo stream in the iPhoto Library, in the iCloud section: It will look like regular albums.

How can we allow internal users to access internet through ASA firewall?

Hello,
I am new to security track, i have been asked to setup lab and allow users from inside firewall to access internet. here is my lab setup
PC -> switch 1 (layer2) -> (inside) ASA (outside) -> switch 2 (Layer2) -> Router
does switch 2 port needs internet access through router?
what configuration required on ASA to allow users behind the firewall to access internet?
any help on this would be much appreciated.
thanks,

Hi,
Okay , can you clarify on this for me. Are you able to ping the internet from the ASA outside interface ?
Just try something like this:-
ping 4.2.2.2 .. Does this work ?
If this does not work , then i think the ASA even is not able to get to the internet and that would be a problem on the router.
Also , internet from Switch 2 is not a requirement as that is only a Layer 2 device.
You can assign the ISP allocated address on the PC , connect it to the Switch 2 port and then try to ping something on the internet or surf internet and i think that should work.
Thanks and Regards,

[solved] allowing guest user full access to a subfloder on my account

Ok, let's say I have a directory in location /home/myacc/shared-files/
I do chmod 777 on that dir, and make a link on a guest account ( ln -s /home/myacc/shared-files/ /home/guest/share )
When I try to access /home/guest/share from the guest account, I get "Permission denied" message, obviously because /home/myacc is protected...
How can I let a guest to see the shared-files subdirectory, but still without changing my home directory permissions?
Last edited by Mr. X (2009-01-07 18:34:14)

Using the chmod 711 method, others are prevented from ls'ing the directory but if they guess the names of files they can still check if they exist, correct?
Let someone else give an opinion about this before you do it, but you should also be able to use "mount --bind /dir/to/share /where/to/share/it". I've used this on my LAN to put repos in my home dir on an apache server without opening up permissions along the path to my repos.
In your case, I think you could do this:
mount --bind /home/myacc/shared-files /home/guestacc/shared-files
From what I've read about it, the point of "mount --bind" is to get around the limitations of "ln -s" and path permissions.
*edit*
You'll need to create the /home/guestacc/shared-files directory first.

My mac pro won't allow guest users to log in.

How do you allow guest users in a mac pro? Keeps asking for a password?

This issue is sometimes or always the result of transferring the Guest account from another system in Migration or Setup Assistant. See the discussions linked below.
Mavericks guest user password
Guest account requires password - Disabling/reenabling doesn't work

How do I allow my users to set the option to save a new timezone for future sessions?

The option to save a newly selected timezone for future sessions has been greyed-out
in the Calendar Client. How can I allow my users to choose this option?
<P>
This is controlled by the settimezone setting on the Calendar Server. By
default, it is set to FALSE. You can change the value to TRUE in the
unison.ini settings. The
Calendar Server must be restarted for the change to take effect.

Hi,
Based my research, OOB SharePoint don’t allow anonymous users to contribute contents(Edit, Upload and Add) into list and library.
This is by design behavior, and it’s a consideration about security in order to help protect your site from potential script injection attacks.
For anonymous users, only the View Item permission is available for libraries.
If you want to know more about this, please refer to
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-sharepoint-services-help/enable-anonymous-access-HA010113018.aspx
Hope this helps
Thanks!

With Timed Access List on, Guest users cannot access Guest network.

I have a ABS with 7.5 version. In the Timed Access window i have default set to "no access". Then, all the computers that are allowed access to the main network are on the list. Then i have the main network hidden. My guest network is broadcasting but when a user tries to connect to it, they get a "Unable to connect". If I change the default access in Timed Access to "Everyday", users are then able to connect to the Guest network again.
Obviously, this is a bug. I don't want people accessing the main network that aren't on the timed access list. However, I still want guest users to access the Guest Network.
It looks to me that the Timed Access window is controlling the restriction of the Guest and Main network, when it should only be controlling the Main only.
Hopefully, apple has noted this issue and will be fixed on the new update. If other people are experiencing this problem, Please let me know.

Apple just updated the airport to 7.5.1. But there is still a problem with the the guest network not allowing access. If the "Unlimited" is set to "No Access" in the access list it prevents anybody from accessing the guest network. It should only deny your Main wireless Network.
In other words, the Access List is controlling the access for both wireless networks(Guest and Main network)
Either apple needs to create two Access Lists, One for Main network, and One for guest network. Or just have to option to choose which Network you want to restrict leaving the second one open for all.

How can I allow other users on my macbook to view my iphoto library when they are logged in. I do not have a network, and the users (my family) all log in seperately when they use the computer. Does anyone know? Thank you.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
If you want others to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account(s). In the other account(s), enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in their source pane.
Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.

How can I allow a user (client) to choose a local image file (on his hard d

How can I allow a user (client) to choose a local image file (on his hard drive) and modify it using an applet from his browser ? I am trying to develop a web page that enables the user to choose an Image file, manipulate the image using a java applet, and display the results.
Using Java�s �JFileChooser� does not work when called from a browser, probably due to security privileges issues. On the other hand, I can choose and upload any file using a JavaScript form:
<FORM METHOD="POST" ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" ACTION="process.asp">
<INPUT TYPE=FILE NAME="file1"><BR>
�
It seems that I can choose an image file with a Java script form and process an image with an applet. How can I choose a file AND process it locally ?
(I do not wish to upload the file to the server using JavaScript form and then back to the client�s applet for processing since it will be a tremendous waste of resources).
Will appreciate any solution.
Thanks !
( my email is: [email protected] )

"Using Java�s �JFileChooser� does not work when called from a browser, probably due to security privileges issues. "
You can do this if you sign the applet...
