How to make sub folders in a share invisible to certain users?

Back in the 10.3 days simply setting the posix permissions so that certain users and groups had no access to a sub folder in a shared folder would make the folder invisible to those users and groups.
Flash forward to Snow Leopard, I'm trying to accomplish the same thing with ACLs, and I can't seem to do it, the folders are still visible with access denied badges. I read the ACL white paper that was on AFP548, and that suggested creating a deny full control ACE for groups that shouldn't have access, but that no longer seems to work the folders are still visible.
I've been fiddling with different ACL configurations, but I can't seem to get it to work.
I am running Mac OS X Server 10.6.4, and the clients are 10.6.4 as well.
Any help in figuring this out would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi
Apologies I do mean Others. What I normally do is set the POSIX Owner and Group to admin and Others to No Access. Both Permission models apply so you have to take that into account. Any created user is automatically made part of the built-in POSIX staff group (ID=20). That user is also part of Others. If you're trying to deny access for that user using ACLs only yet neglecting to change the POSIX Permission accordingly that user will still have access of some sort.
By setting the Others POSIX Permission to No Access at the Parent Folder level that user won't 'see' the Share. If you're trying to do this with a Nested Folder then that user will 'see' the folder but have no access. What they'll see is the red no entry sign folder icon.
Don't forget to propagate afterwards as well as removing or applying appropriate ACEs if your sharing structure involves nested folders. Server Admin's Interface (IMO) is actually OK with this although you could use the command line if you wish.
This is how it works for me and I rarely see any problems.

Can't figure out how to make "sub-tabs" / Too many "top-tabs" / Other ?

First of all, the website that I am webmaster for is: www.cindydennis.org .
I am having some problems:
1) There are TOO MANY tabs at the top. I can't figure out how to make sub-headings on one page...
For example, I'd like on the "About CDM" page, tabs that can be clicked on to go to other information tabs, but that don't end up appearing on the top (e.g.: having "Remarks" and "What We Believe" tabs go there, but not appear at the top).
Another example, if you look at the home screen, I'd like to have the link to the "Privacy Policy" and Terms of Service" pages on the bottom, but not have them appear as tabs in the top, too.
How do I do this, please? I've searched, and can't figure out/___sbsstatic___/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png
2) How do I add "Copyright 2011" automatically? I saw in the Rapidweaver trial version, it automatically adds it when you publish... is there a way to tell this program to do this? Or do I need to type that in on each page? (I don't want to purchase RW... I'm not ready for that yet.)
Thank you in advance

Cindee ~ One way to do the copyright notice is to use a Text Clipping — Select (highlight) the copyright text you want to use and drag it to the Desktop. If necessary, change the name of the Clipping icon so that it's more easily identifiable on the Desktop. Then, when you need it in iWeb, simply drag the Clipping icon from the Desktop to iWeb's main canvas.
By the way, rather than posting your URL here like this:
www.cindydennis.org
...include the prefix to make it conveniently clickable:
http://www.cindydennis.org

Using Office 365 - how to close sub folders in iPhone-mail app.

using Office 365 - how to close sub folders in iPhone-mail app.

Isn't HotMail still POP3 mail only (i.e. no IMAP support)? If that is still the case, then your device is working correctly. The folders you made are a feature of the web tool for hotmail, and are not part of the POP3 supported email protocol. Only IMAP mail supports on-server mail subfolders, and those can be accessed from the iPhone mail client. But POP3 is limited to the inbox solely, as that is literally the only folder that sits on the mail server (your others are on Microsofts web server and supported via the web mail tool).

How to view sub folders on Apple TV

I have Home Sharing turned on. I have a folder on my server that has my videos. I have sub folders in this make folder, such as Home Movies -> Kid 1 or Home Movies -> Kid 2.
When viewing these video files on my Apple TV's I see the content in the MAIN folder of Home Movies, however, I do NOT see my sub folders.
Is this possible? I like being neat and organized.
Thank you.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Nested folders aren't supported, try using workarounds such as TV shows, genres or playlists.

How to make different folders in photo album

I have been addings photos in album. Now I want to make different folders in the album but unable to do so. Please guide.

I may be misunderstanding what you want to do,
You can create albums on the iPad in order to organize photos but I believe that you must be running iOS 5 at least. Your tagline shows iOS 4.3.2. It's been quite a while since I was running iOS 5, but I'm pretty sure it was introduced in iOS 5.
If you are running iOS 5 or higher, launch the photos app and tap on Photos, then tap on the Edit button in the upper right. Select all of the photos that you want to place into an album by tapping on them. Then tap on Add To and choose Add to New Album. Name the new Album in the popup window and then tap Save.
If you are not running iOS 5 - you have to import the photos from the camer roll to your computer, creat the albums on the PC and then sync them back to the iPad via iTunes.

How to hide some folders in a woprkspace from some external users?

Hi
We manage a workspace that has both Internal external users. We have a requirements in a way that external users can only see some folders they have access to. What is the best way to accomplish.
I reviewed an article in "How to" section which describes how to use ACLS to hide some folders from certain users (https://beehiveonline.oracle.com/External_06_howto.html).
But this process is cumbersome as we need to go to exh folder and revoke permission for selected users. And also if we add any new folders to the workspace that folder will default be accessible to the external users also. We want by default any new folders do not have access to this group of users except the ones we provide access to.
How can we do it?
Regards
Ram Uppu

Ram,
We have a new process which is much more easily used - the https://beehiveonline.oracle.com/External_06_howto.html page has been upfdated to show the new process.

How to make a UI Element visible or invisible

Hi,
I have a dropdown and three input fields in my screen.
Depending on the value in the drop down only one or two or three input fields can be made visibile or invisible.
Kindly help me how to make a field invisible?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Shanthi

Hi Shanthi,
1. You will have to create custom Object type or subobject type depending on your requirement. Custom Object type can be created in SPRO-> Cross component -> UI Framework -> Framework definition -> define object type.
2. Go to configuration tab and create 3 different configurations of your view using different object type/subobject type. First Config will display all the three fields, second would display 2 of 3 and third config to display only one input field.
3. Go to Get_P_xxx method of your dropdown field and trigger server round trip (An event) to ensure that entire view is loaded every time you select value in dropdown.
4. Redefine DO_CONFIG_DETERMINATION method from your _IMPL class and here read values in your dropdown field. On the basis of value selected, you can trigger different configurations by using code:
me->set_config_keys( iv_object_type          = <lv_object_type>
                       iv_object_sub_type      = <lv_subtype>
                       iv_propagate_2_children = abap_true ).
Hope this helps.

How to create sub-folders containg my announcment list item's images , instead of saving all the images insdie a share folder

Today i have found this issue which i was not aware of. i have a team site collection, and inside this site collection i have an announcement App. now when users create announcement items and they insert pictures inside the items , all the images are going
to be saved inside the site asset folder , under the following shared folder :-
Site Assets>>Lists-->>"List Name"-->>AllItems
so in this case users might be adding images that have the same names and select to override existing file ,, so images in this way will start conflicting with each others. so is there away to force my announcement list to create sub-folder for each item
, and to store all the item related images inside it ?
for example in enterprise wiki site collection, each wiki page will have a sub-folder containing all its images... so can i have the same behavior inside my announcement list ?
Thanks.

Also i have noted something interesting , now when users attached files or images there are going to be stored under this directory:-
.../Attachments/41/
where 41 is the issue tracking item ID. so for attachments each item will have separate location so files with the same name inside different items will not conflict, which is great.
while if the user insert a picture inside the issue item such as:-
, it will be stored inside the shared folder under the "Site Assets" folder
Site Assets>>Lists-->>"List Name"-->>AllItems
,, so images with the same name from other items will get conflict between each others.
so attachments are being managed in the correct way, as each item will have separate location to store its attachments . while images inserted inside the item description, from all items are going to be stored inside the same folder !!! can anyone advice
??? this is a bug in SharePoint 2013 ?

How to make sub-categories in iTunes playlists

I have many playlists for separating certain types of music, like most people do. I was wondering if there is a way to place sub-categories in playlists already made. For example:
iTunes>Playlists>Recently Added>10 Most Recently Added>5 Most Recently Added.
I would like to be able to view/listen to the originated playlist; i.e. "Recently Added" which contains all the sub-playlists; i.e. "10 Most Recently Added" and "5 Most Recently Added" but also be able to access the sub-playlists within the original playlist and listen to solely the songs within the sub-category.
Basically, is there a way to put a playlist within a playlist without having to use and edit auto-updating smart playlists manually?

You can't make a playlist inside a playlist. You can nest playlists inside of folders and if you click on the folder it will show a summation of all the playlists contained in it.

How to make files/folders get updated ACLs by inheritance when you move in same volume?

Hi everyone!
I'm having some issues with my W2008R2 file server (using DFS). The problem is: when an user connected to a file server share (using W7 box), moves (drag and drop) files or folders from one folder to another in the same volume of the server, the ACLs are
not automatically updated by the ACLs of the new parent folder, I mean, it is not inheriting the new ACLs from the new parent folder.
I've read this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310316
but it says:
Make sure that the user account that is used to move the object has the Change Permissions permission set. If the permission is not set, grant the Change
Permissions permission to the user account.
Users have the "Modify" permission set in both folders (the permissions are granted to Domain Local Groups of AD, which users are members of). As you know, "Modify" permission does not grant users the ability to "change permissions",
which is correct, because you don't want users to have the ability to modify permissions in file server.
The question is: is there a way to fix this issue and to get ACLs automatically updated?
Thanks!

Good point! I didn't think about that...
Anyway, in my case, the scenario you mention would be better, because files would always have permissions inherited from the parent folder they are located. Users could use the "trick" you pointed out to modify files, but that is not of the concern of a file
server administrator, I think.
In conclusion, what is the best way or best practice to set permissions in a DFS file server environment?
Thanks again!

WebDAV how to make root folders read only but contents writable

Hi everyone.. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me out..
1 PERMISSIONS
I have a working WebDAV server. In each realm (or user account) they have a setup that mocks their home folder, ie, Documents, Movies, Websites, etc.
How can I modify the permissions so that these root folders cannot be deleted, but they can obviously have items added/deleted inside of them?
2 QUOTAS
Is there anyway to add quotas to WebDav accounts?
Thanks a lot!
-Mel

sorry guys..
Just figured out how to sort out the permissions.. You need to modify the WWW user the way you would normally set the standard user's permissions..
Any help on setting the quotas?
Thanks!
