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/.

Is it possible to prevent a user from creating and approving a JV

Hi,
Is it possible to prevent a user from creating and approving a JV. We have a rule that one user cannot do both. What happens is user#1 creates the JV, then some other user#9 approves the JV. Both user#1 and user#9 need to be able to create a JV and approve someone else's JV.
The transactions in question are...
F-02 General Posting - enter Journal Voucher (create & post)
F-65 Enter General Document - Parking (create)
FBV0 Post or Delete a Parked Document (approval)
Please let me know the details.
Thanks in advance,

Cannot prevent authenticated users from creating a blog on "My Page"

I have a brand new Snow Leopard (10.6.1) 2.26 Ghz quad core Xserve with 12Gb RAM that will be used for web collaboration services. I've currently set up Wiki and Blog services with a group membership to allow creating wikis/blogs. The reason for this is for staff development purposes with the plan to add people into the group as they are trained. The process to set it all up was very simple, however, I'm having an issue preventing authenticated users from creating a personal blog. Although I can prevent the creation of wiki's to members of a group easily, any authenticated user on the server can log into "My Page" and will be able to create a blog. I've gone to server admin>choose the server>choose the "access" icon and set the column "for selected services below" (blog) to "allow only users and groups below" (the group) and it still doesn't prevent them from making a blog page. In WGM for the group on the "Basic" tab, the "enable the following services for this group" has only the choice of "none" and therefore since the site isn't showing as a choice, the Wiki, Blog, Calendar and Mailing List is grayed out. I've seen another thread that states in 10.6 that option for setting the service acl in the group settings of WGM is unavailable. Does anyone know a fix for my problem of security access for a "My Page" blog or is it a possible bug in Snow Leopard? Right now my only workaround is to remove the users access and enable it as they are trained. This isn't an ideal fix, however, because we have some users who want to limit their wiki or blog to authenticated users only, not public access. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Ran into this same issue.... Talked with a field engineer who confirmed the behavior. The question now is this a defect or "feature that does not work as as the audience desires". As I far can tell, the security setting for blogs in server admin does nothing at all. This has the potential to cause a few issues as you cannot limit who can have a blog.

Thanks for the suggestion, but that would prevent all users from creating personal blogs. I was hoping to be able to have a group of users that can create a personal blog outside of the blog attached to a wiki.

How should we be going about creating and saving and/ or exporting our ODC files using Excel 2013 for use in Project Server 2013 Online?

Hi I need your guidance on how I should go about setting up my Excel 2013 reports so that others in our Project Online 2013 environment can access and updates these reports of mine.
My questions are as follows:
I presume I need to create and save my ODC files in a PWA > Data Connections folder. I have English and French users in our environment. Do I need save them twice? Once in the French and again in the English Data Connections folder?
Likewise for the Excel file?
How should I go about creating my ODC files within Excel? By default, the ODC files are being created on my PC's > My Documents > My Data Sources folder. I presume I need to get them saved or exported to the PWA > Data Connections
folder. So, How should I be going about creating and saving and/ or exporting the ODC files???
FYI...My oData Feeds that I wish to use and join in this particular Excel file are as follows:
https://cascades.sharepoint.com/sites/pwa/_api/projectdata/AssignmentTimephasedData01T00:00:00'
https://cascades.sharepoint.com/sites/pwa/_api/projectdata/Projects()?$select=ProjectId,ProjectName,CAS_Classification,CAS_PCO,CAS_IT_Department,CAS_Program,CAS_SubProgram

https://cascades.sharepoint.com/sites/pwa/_api/projectdata/Resources()?$select=ResourceId,ResourceName,Programs,Supplier,Source,Role,CostType
Thanks in advance,
\Spiro Theopoulos PMP, MCITP. Montreal, QC (Canada)

Thank you Guilaume. May I ask you to help clarify a bit more for me? If I have to do it for both languages (the reports and ODC files), do I simply copy the same ODC files from e.g., the English to French folder in PWA (Odc files)? Or does
that defeat the purpose? Or, do I need to create a new set of oData Feed Connection files with a French version of Excel 2013 and save them to the French Data Connections folder in PWA? Do I need to have a French version of Excel 2013 to create
French ODC files and ultimately French based reports and/ or vice versa?
I did notice that the following oData metadata command from within a browser produces different results (ie., English versus French metadata returned) depending on who runs it (i.e., French or English user, etc). As you can see I am a bit confused.
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

How to prevent end user to create a Query View and save back to BW Server?

Dear All :
Do Someone know that how to setup authorization for Bex Query View Creation? We want to prevent end user to create a Query View to save back to BW Server his favorite folder. when our user run Bex Query, he can base on this query and use Bex Analyzer's save function to save a Query View and save into his favorite folder.
My question is :
1. Can we set up a Authorization to prevent end user to save Bex Query View?
2. Or can I remove Save function from Bex Analyzer to prevent end user use save function, But Developer should not to be prevent .
Thanks for all of your kindly response.
Best Regard
Lawrence Kuo

Hi.
Yes, you can do it like you outline in your point 1):
You need to use the authorization object S_RS_COMP for this. This object let's you control what parts/components of a query the user can do stuff to. So, in your case, you need to have a role for the users, where you do not grant create-access to the component QVW, and then you need another role for developers, where you grant full access or whatever you need for your developers.
See [this post|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/a6c54319-0e01-0010-20a4-fb81ad32f330?QuickLink=events&overridelayout=true&5003637661135] and the [SAP Help entry|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/80/1a6859e07211d2acb80000e829fbfe/content.htm].
You will also need to use the authorization object S_RS_COMP1. If you already have a productive system with users doing reporting, both objects will be maintained in one of the roles already.
You also want to consider using the object S_RS_PARAM to allow users to create variants for the variabel screen.
Good luck.

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 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 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 limit end user from creating grid

Can I limit the end user's ability of creating new grids? What is the best practice for managing grids?
Thanks!

The best practice is to allow end user to create and save their own grids. There is no need to limit users from a potentially useful feature. If you have grids which you don't want users to change, assign a class to those grids which they should change, and give them View access to that class.
If you still don't want users to save their own grids, you might try giving them View access to the [Default] class, though any user smart enough to assign a class to the grid for which the user has All access to can still save the grid. Such users should be recruited to the application administration team and given a raise :-)

How to prevent the User from loading more than one seq file?

Hi,
I would like to prevent the tester operator from loading more than one test sequence. Any ideas how to do it?
Thanks
Rafi

Hi Marty,
Marty_H wrote:
Hello mhousel,
Testexec.exe by default loads the sequence files that were last open when it runs. It is often desired behavior to have multiple sequence files load automatically.
[Mark Housel] Maybe for some but certainly not for me.
This should be easily handled by TestStand without any problems. What do you mean by "chaos ensues"?
Certainly Teststand doesn't care a bit how many sequences are open. But, when my sequences open they initialize HW of the ATE associated with
that sequence file during the sequenceFileLoad callback. e.g. I allocate TELNET handles to a terminal
server that connects to multiple console within the system and als for
the UUT.
If a second sequence opens it knows nothing about the other sequence and again tries to open a TELENT session to the same port of the
terminal server and obviously fails, so my sequence reports that it
can't properly initialize the ATE HW. Bad juju!
Are your sequence files set to run automatically when they are loaded?
I guess so. Other than the trick of logging in as the special noExecution user and having special code in my sequence and modified Process Model I have no idea how to prevent a sequence fronm "runnin" when opened.
If you want to prevent Testexec.exe from loading multiple files, you should be able to close out one of the open files when it loads and that sequence file should not load in the future. I hope that helps.
The trick I read somewhere else of modifying the Testexec.uir file to never re-load a sequence file automatically seemes to have covered up solved the problem.
Thanks,
Mark

How to prevent users from creating transactional problems?

Dear Sirs...
Using JDeveloper 10.1.2 and ADF UIX technology. If i created a web application that contains many pages. Assume the application contains pages A,B,C,D.
The end user should access the pages A then B then C then D to get the transaction executed and commited correctly.
the problem is:
1- if a user navigates from A to B to C then he press the Back button to A then he commits the transaction, the data would be stored in correctly.
2- if page C requires some preparations in page B (initalization of session variables) and the user enters page A then he changes the URL to C, then this would cause inproper execution of application and so the data would be stored incorrectly.
so how can i prevent the user from pressing the back button of the browser (which i do not think is possible) or how can i prevent him from making any errors by inproper page navigation?
thanks for any help in advance and best regards

I really don't know if this is the correct way of doing it, but we prevent navigation directly to any page within our application if the HTTP Referer header is null. If it's null, we redirect to a page that says the user should use the navigation buttons provided and not enter the page via bookmarks, history, or direct navigation via a typed in URL.

How to prevent user from creating jobs

Hi,
we need to prevent user from creating jobs on a dev enviorement. It's a 10.2.0.4 database standard on linux 64bits.
Their schema has only connect and resource roles. Is there a way to prevent them from creating jobs? In 11g it's the CREATE JOB permission, but in 10g i'm not sure how can i do this.
Thanks for any ideas!

On 10g it's probably the CREATE JOB as well.

Alternatively you could:
alter system set job_queue_processes=0

How to prevent users from creating new folders in share folder directory?

Hello guys
I'd like to know How to prevent users from creating new folders in share folder directory but still keep their power of creating new folders in their personal 'my folder'?
I tried changing the 'manage privilage ---- create folder' to deny certain user accounts, but by doing so, it also stops the user from creating new folders in their 'my folder', which is not good..
I also tried going into these share folders and tried different access types such as 'change/delete', 'read', 'traverse folder' etc, but none of it work ideally. The 'change/delete' access still allows them to create new folders, 'read' access prevents creating new folders but also take away their power of saving reports..
Any thoughts on how to take away their ability to ONLY create new folders in share folder areas without affecting their other privileges?
Please advise
Thank you

Easy, on the shared folders root folder only give them 'read' or 'traverse folder' but on the the folder inside the shared folders root folder give them 'change/delete'. That means they can change anything inside those folders but not create any folders at the shared folders root level.

Hi All, We are in to Release 11.5.10.2.There is a specific requirement to Prevent users from creating Manual Sales Orders in oracle and yet users should be able to book the Sales Orders Imported from CRM system into Orcale.Please advise.

Hi All, We are in to Release 11.5.10.2.There is a specific requirement to Prevent users from creating Manual Sales Orders in Oracle and yet users should be able to book the Sales Orders Imported from CRM system into Orcale.Please advise.

Thanks for your advise.
However, I missed to mention that we have two set of users One is for Finished Goods and another for Spares.
Only Spares users need to be prevented from creating Direct/Manual Sales Orders in Oracle.
As you suggested, if this will be done at Form level, that may Disallow FG users also to create Manula Sales Orders which should not be the case.
Further, I tried to test one scenario through Processing Constraints but it did not work.
