How to prevent certain Users from deleting a resource while in the project?

We are currently using P6.2 client; We are setting up a new resource dictionary and have been searching to find a way to prevent certain users from deleting resources while in the project. Is there a way to do that? I have created Global profiles and Project profiles under the Admin security profile and have tried clicking off of rights to delete a resource but when I log into as that user I can still delete the resource. Please Help!

Are you talking about preventing users from deleting resource assignments within a project? Or preventing them from deleting resources from the global resource dictionary?
For global resource dictionary in Global Profile you would turn off:
-Delete Resources
And likely:
-Add resources
-Edit Resources
-Edit Roles
-Edit Resource Calendars
For resource assignments on activities in Project Profiles you would turn off:
-Add/Edit Project Activities Except Relationship
Note: this will disable more then just the ability to alter resource assignments.

How to prevent certain users to see only certain resource objects

Hello OIM Experts,
How to prevent certain users to see only resource objects request-able based on their user profile
Employees :
Employee A: Finance staff
Employee B: IT staff
Resource Objects :
Resource Object 1 : Oracle E business suite
Resource Object 2 : Payment Gateway
Resource Object 3 : Server X
Resource Object 4 - 10 : Customer Service Applications.
Expected :
Employee A only see and able to request Resource Object 1 & Resource Object 2, while employee B only see and able to request Resource Object 3.
And they are not able to see and request Resource Object 4 - 10.
Can that be done, if so please suggest some ways, appreciate the help.
Regards,

Hey, you can do this through Organizations. Follow the following steps:
1) Create an Organization say 'Finance Staff' and put all the users for this category in this organization.
2) In the similar fashion create another Organization say 'IT staff' and put all the users for this category in this organization.
3) Now open Organization details for above two and select the 'Permitted Resources' drop down frm additional details.
4) Assign the resources as per your requirements for these two oragnizations.
Finance Staff -> 'Permitted Resources' -> 'Oracle E business suite' and 'Payment Gateway'
IT Staff -> 'Permitted Resources' -> 'Server X' and '10 : Customer Service Applications'
5) Also remember to de-select the 'Allow All' check box in the respective resources above to discourage everyone from requesting and making a decision for allowing the user to create requests through organizations.
You are done.
regards
Sunny

How to prevent multiple users from updating the same data in coherence

Hi,
I have a Java Web Application and for data cache am using coherence 3.5. The same data maybe shared by multiple users which maybe in hundreds. Now how do I prevent multiple users from updating the same data in coherence i.e. is there something in coherence that will only allow one user a time to update. If one user is in a process of updating a data in coherence and some other user also tries to update then the second user should get an error.
Thanks

I have a question on the same line. How can I restrict someone from updating a cache value when I a process is already working on it. I tried locking the cache key but it does not stop other process to update it , it only does not allow other process to get lock on it.

How to prevent a user from entering characters into a number field

How do you prevent a user from entering characters like A or B into a field that is defined as a numeric field?
Please note that
- we use block validation (for other reasons)
- we are not able to convert these numeric fields to character fields
We want to avoid a user being hasseled with the FRM-40209 ... message.
This message is
- not very helpfull because it does not inform us what the problem field is
- not suppressable
Any hints ?

I went back to the drawing board on this one.
You are absolutely right : the message can be catched !
By writing an on-error trigger you can check for the error number. Sadly enough my first attempt on this used the on-message trigger which never fired hence my desperation.
Anyway, the on-error trigger in combination with :SYSTEM.CURRENT_ITEM or :SYSTEM.TRIGGER_ITEM enables me to display a more meaningfull message to my users.
Thanks for the hint.

How to restrict a user from deleting a PO

Dear All,
I have to restrict some users from deleting a line item in PO. They will be authorised to create & change the PO but they must not be able to delete the line item.
Further it would be more helpful if it is possible to restrict them from deleting one perticular type of PO(ex-Capex PO). They can change a capex PO but can not delete it.
Any of the answars will be highly appreaciated.
Regards
Rutabhadra Panda

Hello,
Speak to your basis guy, put if you have created Capex PO as a particular document type, then maintain authorisation object M_BEST_BSA (Document Type in Purchase Order) and activity 06 delete.
You may find that delete is still possible through activity 02 change, so you might need to maintain different roles depending on what you need.
Thanks.

Prevent multiple users from updating coherence cache data at the same time

Hi,
I have a web application which have a huge amount of data instead of storing the data in Http Session are storing it in coherence. Now multiple groups of users can use or update the same data in coherence. There are 100's of groups with several thousand users in each group. How do I prevent multiple users from updating the cache data. Here is the scenario. User logs-in checks in coherence if the data there and gets it from coherence and displays it on the ui if not get it from backend i.e. mainframe systems and store it in coherence before displaying it on the screen. Now some other user at the same time can also perform the same function and if don't find the data in coherence can get it from backend and start saving it in coherence while the other user is also in the process of saving or updating. How do I prevent this in coherence. As have to use the same key when storing in coherence because the same data is shared across users and don't want to keep multiple copies of the same data. Is there something coherence provides out-of-the-box or what is best approach to handle this scenario.
Thanks

Hi,
actually I believe, that if we are speaking about multiple users each with its own HttpSession, in case of two users accessing the same session attribute in their own session, the actually used cache keys will not be the same.
On the other hand, this is probably not what you would really like, you would possibly like to share that data among sessions.
You should probably consider using either read-through caching with the CacheLoader implementor doing the expensive data retrieval (if the data to be cached can be obtained outside of an HTTP container), or side caching with using Coherence locks or entry-processors for concurrency control on the data retrieval operations for the same key (take care of retries in this case).

How to prevent iphone notes from deleting after syncing to itunes

Every time I sync my phone to itunes, i lose my important notes! i know how to access them after this happens but I want to prevent them from deleting at all! Please help!

Hi there KeenMathura,
There can be a few things that might cause this issue where music is not alphabetically organized on your phone. Resyncing content is certainly one of the steps to use to troubleshoot that. Next I would quit all the running apps on your iPhone:
iOS: Force an app to close
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
If the issue persists, backup your device to iTunes and then restore it as a new device and verify that it works.
How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
If it does, then restore your backup to either verify it still works and the software just needed reinstalled, or isolate the issue to the backup file itself.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

How to prevent public users from creating and saving Word Documents

I have two public computers available for the public to view legal case documents. The program used uses the Word shell to save, view and print documents within the program. The clerk has stated that she does not want attorneys or others to
be able to create and save word documents on these computers. Is there a way to prevent a user on the public computers from opening word, creating a document and saving it?

Instead of installing Word on the public computer (or at least instead of making it available on the public account), you could install the free Word Viewer:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=4 and make that available for the public account. Alternatively, if you want to ensure the document retains its originally
formatting regardless of what printer may or may not be attached to the public computer, you could keep only PDF copies of the file where the public can access them and install the free Adobe Acrobat Reader for viewing:
https://get.adobe.com/reader/.

How to prevent time machine from deleting certain backup folders?

So, I have problem undrestanding time machine. Time machine has made a backup of my files in Nov 2012 and another backup from Jan 2013. There is some files in Nov 2012 that I want to keep them forever and never be deleted. So, they were backed up by Time machine (I have deleted those files from my computer so they're no lonegr excist in my compuetr). Althought they do excist on my time machine under the Nov 2012 folder, I am not able to modify them at all for example, I'm not allowed to copy them somehwere else. Since, I can not make another copy of them, I am worried if time machine delete my Nov 2012 in future and then they will be gone. Can someone please help me in modifying/ controling my folder so it won't be deleted in future?

You are using Time Machine incorrectly, your files will be deleted from Time Machine after you delete them from your Mac, the only variable is when.
Time Machine is a backup, not a storage system.
Restore them now and copy them to long term storage (another hard drive)

Can I prevent a user from Deleting the Group Policy deployed power plan?

I have Power Manager version 3.20 installed and am using the Group Policy template to deploy a customized power plan. I do not want my users to have the ability to delete this custom plan, but I cannot find the option in the Group Policy to change the setting that would grey-out the Delete button in Power Manager.
I have located the registry value that changes the function of Power Manager, it is: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Lenovo\PWRMGRV\PowerSchemes\42617646-BC99-48E2-B3AF-C562C25F4098\ProhibitModification. If the value is 0, then the delete button is available. If the value is 5, then the delete button is greyed-out.
The problems is that the Power Plan ID number (the 42617646-BC99... part in the reg key above) changes from computer to computer. That ID string seems to be tied somehow to the specific computer. So, I cannot just create a Group Policy Preference to change that value in the registry, because that value is always going to have a different name.
The computers are all ThinkPad T400 model and are running Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit.
Can anyone suggest a different method to change this setting? If not, is there any chance that the Power Manager application can be upgraded to include this control?
Thank you!

welcome to the forum!
to add to what gan said, page 6 of the power manager deployment guide covers this policy over active directory.

Users have full rights to their own mailbox, you cannot disable the "delete" right.
You could however redirect emails for the user to a shared folder which they subscribe to and only grant specific rights for that user using the readership utility:

Prevent Certain Users From Shutting Down the Mac

Hello,
I have a group of Mac Minis which are secured in an equipment rack. When someone shuts the computer off, the rack has to be moved and the Mac powered-on, manually. This is not as easy as it may seem. Is there a way to remove the "Shutdown" item from the Apple menu. I need the "Logoff" and "Reboot" the options to still be available. I do nt have an OS X server, from which to project these settings from Workgroup Manager. Is there some .plist I can edit, or permission I can change?
Thanks

Not possible without hacking the system and even then it is not foolproof. If you Google something like mac os x disable shutdown you'll get an idea of the situation.
And if you could remove the command from the Apple menu there is still the key combination to deal with.
If this is a social problem, users mistakenly shutting down the system then maybe education would be a better approach to take.
If it is willful or the inconvenience of this being done is very great then maybe you should suggest getting the serve for $20 just to have the ability to handle this.
regards
Message was edited by: Frank Caggiano - it does appear that tinkertool says it does address the 'shutdown option in the finder'. Interesting to see if this is the Apple menu. Worth a shot

How to Stop Certain Users from Logging in to The Wiki?

While the Wiki Server in Mountain Lion Server allows me to restrict who can create new wikis, it does not seem to allow me to restrict who can login. If I setup a 'Test User', and give this user access only to the FTP service on the server, this user can still use his credentials to login to the Wiki. In fact, every user that is listed on server - for any service - can login.
Once logged in, even if the user has been prohibited to create new wikis, they seem to still be given a 'my documents' space on the wiki server, in which they can create pages, and where they can still upload files.
There are, therefore, several users that I don't want to be able to login to the wiki, at all. Can wiki login access be restricted?

Try:
1) create users and uncheck access to all services for each user,
2) create a group with access to File Sharing and FTP,
3) edit the group to add users, then
4) Create Group Wiki
Does that get you closer to the behavior you seek? Users will still see the main Wiki page, but won't have access to any of the individual wikis unless they're a member of that group's Wiki.

Prevent multiple users from accessing a list item at the same

Hi,
I have a scenario where, if a list item is opened (in edit mode) by one user, no other user should able to access it. I mean to checkin/checkout kind of thing which is not possible with sharepoint lists.
One thing that I have done through infopath 2010, by setting a rule on form load. On form load, set a field's value Assigned To to Current User and then submit data. In case I am getting value of Assigned To getting stored in the list as a new record
along with all the values from previous fields.
I want to update the same record not the duplicate record.
Please suggest a solution for it.

Hi
add a new column to your list COL_EDITING( type yes, no )
Default value : NO
Customize your editform.aspx attached to your form, when it open
A. analyze if COL_EDITING=NO
If it isn;t alert an error message ( the item is in edit mode by another user ) , and close the page
if it is --->
B to fill COL_EDITING=YES
and next permit user to fill the fields in the form

Prevent user from deleting rows from all tables in his own schema

Hi,
How can I prevent user from deleting rows in all tables in his own schema.
I want the user to not able to delete rows from any existing or new tables that might be added in the future.
The user does not have the "DELETE ANY TABLE" system privilege.
Please advise.
Thanks.

Nowadays, I'd also avoid triggers (if possible).
Sometimes, when I daydream, I'm rewriting a few applications that I've contributed to as a newbie, and I'm very ashamed of it nowadays.
From what I've experienced, in retrospective, the emphasis on teaching 'Oracle stuff' has been lying far too much on PL/SQL row-by-row oriented processing instead of letting Oracle 'crunch' sets at once.
Most of my debugging hours ended up in discovering one or more database triggers 'doing stuff automagically'.
Another nice blogpost: http://rwijk.blogspot.com/2007/09/database-triggers-are-evil.html
Regarding OP's question:
I would just rethink/reconsider this requirement completely.
Correctly implementing privileges and roles seems the best way to go, yes.
Triggers? Nah...
pre-post-edit, noticed thread got updated just before posting
Don't know what you mean with 'namedropping', but I think it's legitimate to point other readers to interesting Oracle related opinions/articles that do have a technical background and lots of interesting examples.
post dreaded OTN outage edit (from here)
Again: I would just rethink/reconsider this requirement completely.
Both trigger/vpd are being used to hide a design flaw here.
