How to Create a New Admin Account and Change Original to Standard Account?

I have a single user admin account that I set up when I got my PowerBook. Now I want to have two accounts with the new one being the admin account. This way I can leave most of the data files, email accounts, etc. with the old account and use the new one for personal data and admininistration. Then I could give out the password for the original account without fear that a user could change permissions and get access to the new account with the personal data. Can I create a new admin account and then change the original account to "Standard" instead of "admin"? What problems will this create?
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

i2:
Not sure if you are asking if or how. Templeton has
answered if. Here's how.
Apple Menu > System Prefs > Accounts. Click on the +
under User Options to create new account. Go to
Security and check box at bottom to make account
admin. You can take care of the other items, picture
etc, login options etc.
To make the other account Standard select the
account, go to Security and deselect box "Allow User
to Administer".
Hope this answers your questions.
Good luck.

Thanks, I'm tying to find out if I will run into problems, such as not being able to use the new admin account to change permissions in the old.

How to create a new admin user in oracle 9i?.

Hi I am new to oracle. I want to set up a new database for my application.
How to create a new admin user in oracle 9i?. I would like to have a new schema. where I can create tables for my application from scratch.

If I understand your question correctly:
You need to be connected to the database with the user SYS.
open a command-line session and do the following to create an Oracle user with DBA option other than SYS.

How to create a new user account?

Hi,
Could you point me to the document/maunal on
how to create a new user account for OS X 10.4?
I somehow couldn't find that from Apple web site.
And I found one here:
http://www.mcelhearn.com/article.php?story=2004110211244242
and followed the instruction:
# echo 'henry::512:512::0:0:Henry James:/Users/henry:/bin/bash' | sudo niload -v passwd /
but nothing happened. Either this doesn't work with
V10.4 (which I use), or I missed something.
Any pointer would be much apprecaited.
Thanks.

Hi Allan and Simon,
Thanks for your responses.
Sorry I didn't make my question clear. I meant:
"How to create a new user account with command line"?
The GUI (System Preference) would work. But I'd like
to how to do it from command line (just like on Unix).
Any inputs would be appreciated.
Thank you.

How to create a New Tranport Request for changed Extract structure

How to create a New Tranport Request for changed Extract structure ?
Hi Experts,
I have a FI AP Generic Datasource containing extract structure with appended fields.
It has already been activated and transported to Testing System.
Now, I am to create a new transport request for this DataSource and Extract structure.
I do not want to delete and recreate the Generic Datasource.
I am trying to look at the options in the extract structure top menu from where I can create a new Tranport Request.
Please let me know the steps
URGENT

Hi Dev,
Once you send the transport request for any data source from Dev to Testing you wont find that again in your Dev (I mean the TR). So, when you change anything for this data source or view now in Dev and try to save it, it will ask for a new transport request and here you can mention a new one starting from View then activate it and go to RSO2 regenerate it and use the same transport request for this too. When you transport this TR to Testing Environment the data source will automatically get changed.
Hope it helps...

How to create a new security group and assignments of rigths?

Hi,
In our current "Cisco Unified CM Administration System version: 7.0.1.11000-2" installation, we are a couple of administrators using the same user account to logon to the "https://10.10.x.x/ccmadmin/showHome.do" homepage.
Where can I create a new user group and assign the appropriate rights to the group, and add users to the group? Or is it another approach that I need to follow instead of the way that security rights a made in a Microsoft Active Directory?
Is there any place that I can read or view examples on how the setup can be done? I would like to have it in the way that everyone has their personal user account and use this to logon the administration-web page instead of an account that everyone uses.
Kind regards,
Carl-Marius

why do you need to create a new business group? To implement HR? If so, linking a HR responsibility to your user, is one of the few steps to go anyway.
How you did it on the test environment?
Why not link a hr resp to your user temporarily, and disable it later.
I'm always afraid to answer this kind of questions, since the real requirement is not described.

How can i create a new email address and change it to my Apple ID?

I set-up a me.com address but mispelled my name. How can I crate another email address and update my icloud

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Just log out of the current account and create a new account and merge your data when prompted. You might be better exporting your data from calendars and contacts to your desktop before you start so you have a back up.

How to create a new cell attribute and add adorner to the cell

Hi
I am relatively new to InDesign and wanted to do the following
I want to add a new boolean attribute to a selected table cell. When this attribute is set, I would want to draw one line vertical and one line across the selected cell ( kind of like a "Plus" sign over the cell). I am wondering how to go about doing this.
PS: I read the snippet snpManipulateTableStyle and can see how to change a cell style using existing attribute (kcellAttrFillColorBoss). However in my case, i want to create a entirely new boolean attribute and based on it being true or false, I would want to draw the adornment on the cell
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated..
thanks!
Sam

I would create the new site first, then promote the new domain controllers and add them to the site. You can do this during the dc promote process.
There's step by step guides already available for creating a site so I don't see any point reinventing one.
Here's one:
http://www.petri.co.il/create-active-directory-sites-windows-server.htm
You may have to adjust the site links part since it looks like Site 3 will only be linked to Site 1.
Of course, the IP addresses for the domain controllers in Site 3 have to be in the IP subnet configured for that site.
Using the example above, you'll of course have to enter the information that makes sense for your netwrok.
I doubt anyone will create a custom step by step for you using the information you provided (they'd also have to know your subnets for one thing) but then, who knows.
Please mark as helpful if you find my contribution useful or as an answer if it does answer your question. That will encourage me - and others - to take time out to help you.

Create a new writable folder and change permissions

This is for a customer job; I fix PCs and MACs (mostly PCs) for a living.
(1) How do I create a new writable folder on a BRAND new external HD under OS X (assume 10.5 or 10.6). Note I will first reformat the external usb HD to Apple OS extended using Disk Utility. I will then do Cntrl-I (Apple Key-I) and select reset permissions checkbox at the bottom of the Info window.
ie. I know how to create a writable folder and and rename it under Windows Explorer BUT NOT under OS X Finder.
Please provide step by step instructions. I apologize for asking such a trivial question but I need it for a job in two hours.
(2) After I copy the user home directories from another MAC HD (the other HD is connected via Target Disk to a MAC laptop as well as having the new external HD being connected) someone in another thread on a forum said to do "chmod 777 -R /Volumes/Copied_Folder" to make the resulting copied folders accessible to anyone.
chmod 777 -R /Volumes/Copied_Folder sounds like a DOS command under Windows OS which is entered by creating a DOS window on the Windows Desktop and entering the command in the DOS window.
HOW DO I DO THIS UNDER OS X 10.5 OR 10.6 ?
(3) I do not know what /Volumes means in the command above. Please provide a real life example. i,e Again under Windows we have (for external HDs) F: or G: etc. What are Volumes called under OS X ?
I have connected usb sticks/flash drives to a MAC and copied in needed files but never paid any attention to what the OS X FInder called them. i.e this question (3) is about SYNTAX. I do not know OS X Finder Syntax for Volumes
Again, I apologize for asking such trivial questions.
Regards,
Mike

BDAqua,
I want all security OFF and all access for everyone on external HD.
At jobsite box at bottom of CMD-I properties on entire external HD was ALREADY checked as Ignore OWNERSHIP (not permissions) on drive. Permissions were logged-in-admin account R/W and all other R which is fine as others only need read access going forward. HD was already MAC formatted as I told customer to get a MAC external HD at Best Buy.
Thanks for your reply.
Mike

How to create a new track with existing changes in the production

Hi
I need to create a new track for the ESS package with the existing changes that we already made to the ESS package. We already have a development track and the customisation to the ESS package has been already done in that track. Now my requirement is to create a new track ( DEV, CONS, TEST and PROD) with DEV having all the existing changes we made. In short how do I import the SCA's from development track PROD to the new track DEV. We are on NW2004 SPS20.
points rewarded for helpful answers
Thanks
Sheril

Param
Have you done the import in DEV and CONS and then Assembled .. ?
If yes then go to /usr/sap/jtrans/CMS/archives/.......... -> check for the track name and then the last .SCA file in it . Copy that SCA file in the /usr/sap/jtrans/CMS/inbox and go to the new track and configure the checkin to inbox ... You should see the SCA in there ... check those in and you are ready to have those SCA in your Production track ..
If no then you need to know the NWDS functions .. I shall send you the details to bring the incomplete changes (not assembled) to new track .. let me know if the first one worked ..
Thanks
Rahul
