How to prevent user from changing a field on a Form.

I have a form and a report on the same page. The form is used to set criteria for the report. So after the criteria is entered on the form a button is clicked, which passes the criteria to the report. The form also displays some additional data based on the criteria, i.e. I do a query on the form.
The problem I'm having is preventing the user from changing the additional data which is displayed. I tried all the wizzard options; i.e. not updatable, not insertable etc. but the user can still change the data.
The only options seems to be writting some Java code for one of the triggers, but I haven't written any Java before.
So I was wondering if anyone has a non-Java solution for this problem or an example of a Java program I could use to solve the problem.
Thanks for any help
Larry

Hi,
Suppose you want Empno, Sal fields of Employee table as Query only and all other fields user updateable then
uncheck all the three check boxes
Mandatory , Updatable , Insertable under validation options for those fields.
When you run the form, these fields appear as text items in query mode and will appear labels once the querying done.
Hope it works

Prevent user from changing calendar permission

Hi team,
How to prevent users from changing calendar permission in outlook. When user open calendar option in Outlook he should either he should able to view the calendar sharing tab or he should not able to make modification in calendar permission by assigning permission
to others.

Hi,
Agree with Andy. Exchange has no built-in feature to prevent mailbox owner to modify their calendar permissions. Since they are owners, they can set their calendar permissions.
Thanks for your understanding.

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.

[E2013][C#] How to prevent user from updating its own events on Exchange

Hi everybody,
I hope you can help me. I have a system based on Exchange / Outlook 2013, and I would like to put on user's calendar some events that they can't delete nor update. I have tried to create appointments using
Exchange EWS with an administrator account, but the problem is that those events can be deleted or updated by users. This is because the events are on user's own calendar, so usually user can update them.
How can I have "some" events to be readonly for a user, but must be visibile in its own calendar? (No other calendar overlay). Is there a way to throw an exception or something similar on Exchange Server when a user modify those events
(some custom property must identify them, of course)? I have looked at transport agents, but I haven't found any example for managing calendar items server side.
I cannot use only an Outlook plugin because users could connect to exchange with smartphone, and they could update appointments from there. I have to prevent updating (from Outlook and from smartphone, basically from everywhere except for
an administrator user) for some events (programmatically created by EWS, for example) which are in user's calendar. Can you help me?
Thanks,
Antonio

Hi Antonio,
bad news for you: It's impossible. A User always has full control over all items in his or her mailbox (including his calendar), no matter what you do.
If it's important enough to you, you can write a service that monitors all those specific appointments and undos all changes the user applies to them (it won't keep the user from changing the Appointment, but it will not have effect for long. Your users
may feel a bit upset about that though).
Cheers,
Fred

How to prevent users from running PRC: Transaction Import from WebADI form?

Hi,
We are 12.1.3 and trying to create a workflow to approve Project transactions coming through web ADI before they become effective. To this end, we want to prevent users from running the PRC: Transaction Import from the Web ADI.
I know that if the checkbox Automatically run transaction import is not checked, the program does not run. But we want to hide this checkbox and not allow the possibility that the program could get triggered.
To this end, we updated the BNE_INTEGRATORS_B with source='C'. This allows you to edit the integrator from Desktop Integration Manager.
UPDATE BNE_INTEGRATORS_B SET SOURCE ='C' WHERE INTEGRATOR_CODE ='PAXTTRXB'
In the 4th step, where the value for Uploader Parameters is set, we have set boolean value to No. These are the fields on the page:
Parameter Name: bne:import
Display Name: Start Transaction Upload
Data Type: Boolean
Category: Field
Default Value: Boolean Flag: No
Description: start Transaction Import Concurrent Request
Display Options: Displayed: Unchecked
Display Options: Enabled: Checked
Display Options: Required: Checked
Prompt Left: Automatically submit Transaction import
Display Type: Check Box
Maximun Size: 100
Display Size:100
Now the checkbox is not appearing for the user to check it, But the program is automatically running when you hit Upload in the WebADI.

Hi ,
Try removing the PRC: Transaction Import Program from the request group for the responsibility used by customers to submit the WebADI and then check if the program launches.

Raghavan

Is there a way to prevent users from changing the Advanced, Connection, Settings Tab?

I need to stop network users from changing the proxy settings to avoid the firewall. Is there any way to disable or prevent them from getting to the advanced, connections tab, and changing the settings for the proxy?

You can lock the corresponding prefs, then users won't be able to change the settings.

How to prevent users from saving and emailing intranet documents externally

Someone in our company needs to upload a pdf to our sharepoint intranet site for internal-only use. How can I prevent users from downloading it and emailing it externally?
I mean, a user could screenshot it I guess, but I need to give management a due diligence answer.

You would need to look into a reverse proxy/firewall that had the ability to block access based on content. This isn't something you can accomplish out of the box with SharePoint (even with AD RMS).

CE10 how to prevent user from view hostrical instance

hi,
We are currently using CE10. One of our user used search functionality in enterprise to search for reports start with 'employee' and it came back with all the crystal reports on the server that started with employees, even the one the user doesn't have access to. My greatest concern about this is that users can view historical instance and it is sensitive data. Does anybody know whether or not this is a bug in CE10? Is there a patch/fix for this? Is there any configuration change that I can make to
prevent users from being able search all the reports on the server rather just their own reports? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Susan

hi,
I have an EVERYONE group with limited access(view object), and EVERYONE group is added to each folder with NO ACCESS. If I revoke view object(explicitly denied) privilege from EVERYONE group, do I still need to remove EVERYONE group from each folder? When I'm at folder level in CMC, I see EVERYONE GROUP added, but when I tried to remove the EVERYONE GROUP, the EVERYONE group is not an option for removal. What am I missing?
Thanks for your help!

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 2 prevent time from changing on leopard and vista?

if i maintain successive boots into the same OS on my macbook, the time is shown correctly, whereas on booting into another OS changes the time. how to prevent this from happening?
Neerav

From what my brother says says about his set-up (he boots into 64 bit Vista periodically), apparently you can't. My understanding is that the two systems do a different version of time at boot, Vista uses a GMT setting in bios, and I think Mac use a local time in EFI. Anyway, the result is several hours difference between the two. I don't use Boot Camp, but I would think if you are on a network with Internet access, you should be able to have the clock reset automatically using System Prefs->Date and Time, and check the box at the top to automatically set the time from the Apple time server.

Is it possible to prevent users from changing iPad background?

I am currently helping deploy 130 iPads for a school using Apple Configurator. I have set the desired wallpaper and lockscreen text via Apple Configurator, however this can easily be removed if a user decides to change the lockscreen wallpaper. Is there any way to set a restriction that would prevent a user from changing the lockscreen wallpaper? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for the help in advance!

I heard that with iOS6 MDMs could have the ability to remotely change the wallpaper and lockscreen OTA. So far Airwatch is the only one I've heard of that claims to be able to do it:
http://www.air-watch.com/company/news-room/press-releases/2012/09/airwatch-offer s-same-day-comprehensive-support-for-apple-ios-6
(scroll down to "New MDM Capabilities")
I hope other MDM's adopt this. It sure would be nice to be able to do this from an MDM.
Hope this helps!

How to prevent user from deactivating the adobe software

I am working in a training center, We've got 20 machines here installed with Adobe CS3 production premium (not using network license). The problem now i foresee is the software deactivate problem, i found user can deactivate the adobe software even they dont have XP administrator rights.
And what i know about activation of adobe software is that there is a limit of activation count of 30 tries and after that i have to call the adobe technical support for help.
Is there any way that i can prevent user from deactivating the software in terms of registry modification or what other kinds of method.
Thanks
Ivan

If you have 20 machines I assume you have a volume license, which does not require de/activation anyway.
If you have 20 separate licences... well, the only thing I can think of is to block the Adobe Activation domains of adobe.com through the firewall of your network. You should probably contact Adobe directly for more specific info.

How To Block a User From Changing Total Field In AR Invoice

Hi all,
I would like to find out how to block a user from being able to change the total field at the bottom right hand side of the AR Invoice. Currently if a user creates an invoice and is still busy in that invoice they can adjust the total field which in turn will update the discount field as well.
Is this simply an authorization issue or am I going to have to do it in the transaction notification?
We are using SAP Business One PL 30 currently.

Hi
Please review by note again -This is by system design .
I don't know why you are so worried abt this because by setting up discount max ,if user cannot post the document ,that means it is not in the system ,no matter they change multiple times in the fields .
But I think your scenario is different ,
You are copying with certain discount from Delivery to AR invoice and i think you don't want user to change the discount field , then you can solve your issue by using approval or sp_notification
If you really want it to be greyed out ,I think you might have to go through by SDK or Boyum addon.
Thank you

How to prevent users from entering '+' or '0' in front of country code in the phone number field?

Requirement:
How can I prevent guest users from entering '+' sign or '0' in front of country-code in the visitor phone number field during self registration?
Few SMS service providers are not looking for '+' sign or '0' or '00' in front of the international phone numbers to trigger the sms. Providing these values in front of country code during self-registration may fail to deliver the sms to recipient.
Solution:
Using a simple regular expression, you can validate the entered phone number during the guest registration.
The below regular expression will help you to validate the phone number and allows to register only when the phone number is not staring with '+' or '0'.
^[1-9][0-9](\d{7}|\d{8}|\d{9}|\d{10}|\d{11}|\d{12})$
It also performs the below validations.
only numbers are allowed.
first digit of the entered phone number should be 1 to 9, so '+' or '0' is not allowed.
numbers from 0 to 9 are allowed from the second digit.
also validates phone number length, the length of the phone number should be 9 to 14.
Configuration:
To add the above regex in the visitor_phone number filed, please navigate to ClearPass Guest >> Configuration >> (Pages)Guest Self-Registration >> select the self-registration page and go to Edit >> Register Page >> Form >> select the filed visitor_phone and set the Validator to " ISRegexMatch" and enter the above regex in the Validator Argument filed as shown below.
Note: Edit the Validation Error as per your requirement.
Verification
Adding the given regex will validate the phone number and prevent the guest user from registering the phone number starts with '+' or '0'.
Please find below the sample outputs for your reference.
Result when phone number starts with '+' or '0'.
Successful registration.

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.
