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 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 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)

Hi I have a macbook and my wife is also a user. I've followed instructions to try and move my iTunes media folder to a public location but basically can't find a public location that's accessible to drag a folder to. It only shows up on Bootcamp and I just can't see it on the left pane.
All sharing settings are on.

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)?

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,

Allowing other users to access software

I installed Microsoft Office on my iMac. My wife and have two separate user accounts. I am able to access the office suite when I am logged on. But when she logs on, she can not use those products. How do I fix this?
iMac Mac OS X (10.4)

Yes, it looks like I can access the applications through the applications menu on the Macintosh HD folder when she logs on. Is there a way to add the application icons to the dock/menu bar at the bottom of the screen? Thanks.

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!

Allow other users when upgrading from version 8 to 9

When I originally installed Parallels 8 I did not allow access to Windows to other users on my iMac. I am now upgrading to Parallels 9 and want to enable another user on my computer to access my Windows programs. Will I be prompted to allow other users when I install the Parallels 9 upgrade or will I have to go into Parallels 9 later to allow this. If I have to go in later, how do i do it.

You might want to ask in the Parallels forum as to how Parallels 9 works. http://forum.parallels.com/forum.php

Other Users need access to Appraisal Documents in OSA

Hi,
We are implementing Objective Setting and Appraisals and have found that when a user logs into the Portal, they are only able to enter Appraisal documents where they are the Appraisee or Appraiser.
We have the need to allow other users to enter Appraisal documents, for example, the Next Higher Supervisor. When they log into the Portal, they can see all their subordinates, but it looks like no one has an appraisal document, when in fact, they do.
What do we need to change to allow these extra users to be able to see that appraisal documents do exist so that they can select them?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Mary Ann Kolnik

Hi Rachel,
Hopefully I will answer your questions.
We currently have a custom implementation of the column owner badi because we found that the choices delivered (AE-for appraisee only, AR-for appraiser only, etc.) were not enough for us. We determined that our requirements for column access needed an owner of the appraisee sometimes and an owner of appraiser sometimes and possibly even other participants (like a Power User, Delegate, etc.). So, right now we created an AL choice for 'All Users' and then in the column owner method check_column_owner, we have code to see if 'myself' is the appraisee, the appraiser, or a further participant.
If he's the appraisee, we pass an 'E' in the export parameter column_owner. If he's the appraiser, we pass an 'R', and so forth.
Then we have these values in our custom zcol_access table. This is so that the column access badi can pull the column availability from zcol_access for the particular column_owner per column/status/substatus. This allows for columns to be hidden, display only, or changeable for particular people at particular status/substatuses. We do have the template field also in the zcol_access table so you could separate the column access per template also.
I hope this makes sense. It is working for us so far, now the issue is how to get the further participants to be able to enter the correct set of appraisals and get the right columns and custom pushbuttons. We would like to use the hrhap_others table, because it works well with our column owner and column access design, but our further participants can change their roles often, so we don't want them permanently tied to an appraisal. More research and trial and error needed.
