How do i disable a user from editing history

i want to be able to (as administrator on workstations in my small business) disable users from editing history in firefox. this is vital in a business environment. if there is a solution for this please advise. i have windows xp and 7 machines that run firefox as default browser. any help is appreciated.

Hmm.  I am going to speculate looking into pwpolicy (man pwpolicy).  You can get a users policy by using:
sudo pwpolicy -u username -getpolicy
(replace username with an actual user's shortname)  However, I will admit that I've not attempted to set policy on an individual in a long time.  I do know that in 10.9 any attempts to mess with individual policy bricks the account until you remove the settings.  In 10.8 I have not tried.  10.6 is probably the last time I've explored this (but back then there was a UI for it).
I would suggest a test account or even an entire test server.  You are clearly going off the reservation with this attempt.

  • How to disable other users from changing the status

    Hi,
    The status entry field can be changed irrespective of ownership in Documents.
    I was able to change the status on the document created by other user.
    Example: The status of document was In-Work. The document owner was X. But I was able to change it to Inspection Check.

  • Prevent multiple users from editing/approving the same form SPD 2013,SP 2013

    Hello all, I have a workflow with a to do task, the task is assigned to a group so any of the users in that group can go in and do a quality check on form data and approve it.  How do I prevent multiple users from working on the
    same form? do I just require check out? or is there a way to notify the rest of the group that a user has already started the quality check.

    The "Require Checkout" option is your best bet.  You can also enable the auto checkout on edit option to allow minimal effort on the side of the user.  Other users will then get the error message stating the item is checked out, if they try to
    edit it.
    If you'd like, you could add a workflow to the task list that triggers when something is changed.  That workflow can check if the item is checked out and if so, email the other users assigned to the task.
    I trust that answers your question...
    Thanks

  • How can I disable a JInternalFrame from being "restored"?

    Sorry, I thought I should start a new thread for a new question.
    With my JInternalFrame, I have it minimized initially when it is created. Now, how can I prevent the user from opening or "restoring" that frame? Basically, I just want the "title" bar to appear, and disable the frame from opening up.
    thanks

  • The windows of the Windows bar are already a form of tabs, so I don't need them in Firefox. How can I disable them completely from Firefox 23?

    RE: TABS ARE WINDOWS!
    The Windows bar already functions as a tab bar. Those tabs are called "windows." So, I find Firefox tab windows superfluous. How can I disable them completely from Firefox 23? I don't need what is essentially TWO windows bars covering up the entire width of my widescreen monitor's image! I already have a Windows bar at the bottom of my screen and, if I really wanted to, I could change ITS position to the top of the screen, so that it would LOOK like the Firefox tab windows bar. Firefox TABS are, essentially, a superfluous SECOND WINDOWS BAR.
    Here are my reasons for why I'd rather use Mozilla's Firefox, than Microsoft's Internet Explorer or Google's Chrome. I love and admire Firefox for Mozilla's intent on good security, for Firefox's Personas add-on, and for Firefox's free use of the Ad-Block add-on which, as you know, has the distinct virtue of reducing screen clutter--the last of which is my motive for wanting to get rid of the SUPERFLUOUS Firefox tabs "windows" bar. I am dreadfully sick of companies forcing miscellaneous bars (mostly representing marketing campaigns trying to sell me something) into my browser (and down my throat) every time I download something. (In case you haven't guessed, I am deliberately referring to your Firefox tabs bar as a "Firefox tabs 'windows' bar," because TABS are WINDOWS!)

    Let me clarify even more. The Firefox add-on you mention does not remove "tabs" windows. It only HIDES the "tabs" bar when there is only one "tab" in that window. It DOES NOT end "tabs." It does not turn "tabs" off.
    I know this, because, even with the add-on you recommend, the "tabs" bar often re-appears when I open a link, which--for some unknown reason--Firefox defaults to opening in a second "tab" within the same window, rather than putting it in a new Windows bar window. This, of course, disregards what I want to happen.
    I want to use my Windows bar to control my windows. I do not want my Firefox browser controlling my windows--which it calls "tabs." Can you tell me how to shut off "tabs?"

  • How do i delete a user from my macbook pro?

    How do I delete a user from my macbook pro?

    If you've admin privileges and there are no files in the user account that you want to keep, just go to System Preferences>Users & Groups and unlock it with your admin password. Select the user that you want to delete and click on the minus button. You'll get a warning before you completely delete the user but once it's gone, it's gone.

  • How do I save my journals from editing (red ribbon).

    I have iPad 2 and the iPhoto app.
    How do I save my journals from editing (red ribbon).
    My problem: I created several journals then I went back to iPad photos and deleted the photos I used in my journals which deleted them from my journals also.
    The instructions stated if the photos were in a journal they would not be deleted. It did have a photo of a journal with a red ribbon, the red ribbon indicates journals can not be edited. I have not found how to apply the red ribbon to my journals. thanks for any help.
    iPad 2, iOS 5.1

    I think the red ribbon only appears if you have downloaded a journal from a different device, i.e. it is more of a 'show' function than a 'share', and the red ribbon is not something you can attach/detach at will. I was testing iPhoto earlier and shared some albums to iCloud, and then deleted the entire iPhoto app. When I reinstalled it, the albums appeared back on my device with shiny red ribbons attached. That's the best I can think of at the moment. Good luck!

  • Restrict users from editing and deleting not owned items

    Hello guys.
    I'm trying to restrict users from editing and deleting items created by other users. I know, that it can be achieved by using SPList.WriteSecurity parameter, but if I change its value to 2 or 4 - nothing happens... 
    May be there are some list permissions that can override this security setting? I tried to combine permissions in different ways but users either cannot modify any items or can edit/delete all of them... 
    By the way, setting ReadSecurity=2 works as it should work regardless of user permissions...
    Please help.

    Hi,
    I understand that you want to change the write security for the document library. You can try the PowerShell script below:
    $web = Get-SPWeb http://serverURL
    $list = $web.Lists["Document library"]
    $list.ReadSecurity = 2
    $list.WriteSecurity =2
    $list.Update()
    $web.Dispose()
    This setting will not affect the site collection administrator, he will always be able to edit the documents. You need to sue another account to have a test. If this still doesn't work, I think you need to manually edit the permission for each documents.

  • How can we prevent a user from entering a value in Parameter Field?

    how can we prevent a user from entering a value in Parameter Field and Select-options Field?

    make it invisible, make it inactive, make it display only.
    if the field is not there or not to be seen the user WILL have problems inputting data.
    BUT once the field is there you can NOT prevent that the user fills it with data.
    all you can do is on PAI check if the data the user inputted was good or bad, and clear his inputs, but you can NOT prevent him inputting something.

    how can i know iphone users from contacts, how can i know iphone users from contacts

    You could open that contact in messages, and your iPhone should say "iMessage" instead of "Message" in the text field. However, this depends wether the contact has iMessage enabled, but it could also mean the contact is using an iPad or iPod touch.
    Make sure that their mobile number is in iMessage, and if the text field says "iMessage", then they are using an iPhone (if they've enabled it).

    Hello, if you had this message you had created BP....
    Now you don't have to user USERS_GEN this transaction is used only in first action, when you create the user in R/3 and then you pass this user to EBP in the organizational structure.

    3) Select assign button in the top of the functions in the transaction
    4) Click on incorporates -- position
    5) Put userID that you want to add in this organizational unit
    6) Click Save

  • How I can disable unnecessary fonts from the font menu?

    How I can disable unnecessary fonts from the font menu?
    I'm so frustrated to always browse the kilometer-long font menu. There are Chinese, Arabic, Thai, Japan etc. fonts. I will never need these fonts!
    The platform is the iMac and Maverics. Illustrator is a version CS6. All software is the latest version of.
    I get off some of these fonts using Apple's Font Book, but still there will be unnecessary Chinese, Arabic, Thai, Japan etc. fonts.
    I also have Suitcase Fusion 4, but that doesn't help in this case because I can't disable system fonts etc. I also tried the "Monolingual" software. Monolingual is a software for removing unnecessary language resources from OS X. But still I see many foreign language fonts in font menu.

    I could do with an answer to this question too
    The fonts I don't want on my system are these (all Adobe covert additions as far as I can tell):

  • Best way to disable a user from authing against ldap?

    We have a need to be able to disable users in out ldap server (Sun-ONE-Directory/5.2_Patch_2 B2004.107.0034).
    We are using msging and cal server together with Access manager and Comms express.
    Setting the inetUserStatus to inactive stops users logging into the comms express etc but we are now having a few remote services that are authenticating against ldap by binding as the user. This works regardless so disabled users can login to certain things.
    Whats the recommended way of temporarily disabling an account? We can't just change the password as we would need to restore it when the account it reenabled. Is there something easy to prevent the user binding? (something easy to undo again!).
    Cheers,
    Darren

    I found that if I use JNDI to set nsaccountlock to true, it does disable the user from authorizing. However, it also makes the Custom Editor unable to re-activate that user. You can press the "Activate" button, and it will tell you the user has been activated, but if you check the nsaccountlock, it will still be set to true. However, one can still use Generic Editor to delete the nsaccount lock to re-activate the user.
    In order for the Custom Editor to be able to reactivate the user, the user must be in the nsManagedDisabledRole. If you add the "cn=nsmanageddisabledrole,<larger context>" to the users nsroledn attribute, then the ldap automatically sets the nsaccountlock value to true.
    And if you later delete the nsaccountlock value, the ldap will automatically remove the nsManagedDisabledRole from the user's nsRoleDn.

  • How do I disable voice over from my ipad while it's locked?

    How can I disable voice over from my ipad while it's locked? I accidentally activated it on my mum's ipad and now she's panicking! Haven't been able to put in her password so a little bit of help asap would be appreciated. Tried double tapping the passcode in but still didn't work! Thanks

    How did you turn it on, via Settings or a triple-click of the home button ? You could try triple-clicking the home button and see if that turns it off, and if it does you can then change what a triple-click does via Settings > General > Accessibility > Triple-Click Home.
    If that doesn't turn it off then you can either turn it off directly on the iPad (you need to use a tap-to-select and then double-tap to activate/type process and 3 fingered scrolling ; so to type a digit of the passcode tap the digit so that it gets a box around it and then double-tap it to type it) to go into Settings > General > Accessibility and turn VoiceOver 'off', or you can do it by connecting to your computer's iTunes : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4064
