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).

How to prevent users from seeing my email address in a mailto: form?

I've created the form but everytime I test it my email opens up and shows who the form would be mailing to. I do not want users to be able to see my email address. Is there anyway to encrypt it or black it out, etc?

Alright, I have created my php form and everything works like I would like except for the information in the email. When I tested it I recieved an email with the body of my form but none of the information that was typed in. What do I need to do?
php
/* Subject and Email Variables */
 $emailSubject = 'Test Form';
 $webMaster = 'I blacked out my email';
/* Gathering Data Variables */
 $emailField = $_POST['email'];
 $stateField = $_POST['state'];
 $districtField = $_POST['district'];
 $votersField = $_POST['voters'];
 $body = <<<EOD

How to prevent user from saving file on local drives

Hi,
We have a file server set up on a Windows 2003 Server. Is there any way to restrict users so that they can only open and view the file but they can't save it on their local drives? If not, can this be done with Windows 2008 or 2012 or any Linux
server or any document management software?
Thanks,
Jerry

If you can open the file from a client then generally there is not much you can do to prevent them saving it locally. Unless you restrict the clients access to save anything at all on their local hard drive which depending of the security requirements of
the data you are accessing could be a valid option.
Depending how critical / sensitive that information you could look at alternate method of accessing that file. In my experience securing important / secret data comes down to access procedures just as much if not more than technical solutions.
Maybe restrict access to that file to a handful of trusted users who can then inform the "untrusted" users of any information they need.
Like I say this is a procedural issue as much as anything else.

How to prevent users from saving data in pdf

I have created several new pdfs for my communications center and would like to know how I can have these documents to be filled out but not have the info saved by the users? I dont want the original document to be lost because someone accidentally saved the info they were inputing into it. The forms I have created already have a print button at the top right corner so that is all I want the users to be able to do, fill it out, print it out, then close out original document without saving.

You can't prevent it absolutely, but there are some things you can try to minimize the problem, such as:
1. Provide a reset form button that the user can click to clear all of the fields, either with a Reset Form action or the resetForm JavaScript method.
2. Reset the form using JavaScript in the Document Will Save event.
3. Have the users set the file to read-only in the file system.

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.

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

[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

How to restrict users from saving a transaction in PCUI

Hi Experts,
I am working on a requirement where in I have to restrict the user from saving a followup up transaction if an order already exists for the same,in PCUI.I am able to display the error message in the PCUI screen but unable to restrict the user from saving the transaction.
I have implemented the CRM_COPY_BADI ,copy method to check the item copy and populating the message from there...The requirement is fulfilled in GUI by giving a abandon message which restricts the user from saving the transaction.but in PCUI the abandon message is not working..So is there any way to deactivate the save button for a particular transaction in PCUI and this is to be done from within the CRM_COPY_BADI..
I would sincerely appreciate any help provided on the issue..

We can do this by populating an error message in the Application log

Prevent Users From Saving PDF?

I have created a PDF that has confidential information in it. I do not want to give users the option of being able to save the PDF to their computer. Is there a security setting to prevent viewers from saving a PDF?

No, that's technically impossible. If you want them to be able to see it,
the file must first be saved on the local machine.

How to show users display name and email address in open social widget?

Hello experts,
Is it possible to retrieve users display name and email address with opensocial javascript e.g. Login widget seems to load user data (and userData.firstname) during the site init. Is this something that could be consumed or is there some opensocial data request that could/should be used. Any working sample widget spec would be appreciated.
Best regards,
Ville

Hi Ville,
in the logon widget, we also use the data retrevied from siteInit.loadData.data.user. However, this widget is part of the out of the box openSocial widgets, it is being released with the product code, not as a separate OS widget deployed on HANA Cloud Platform.
If you'll do window.parent.siteInit you'll probably will get the data you are looking for, but this isn't the official public API, so you can use it but we cannot commit on keeping this structure.
Why do you need this information in the widget level? Does your widget require authentication or is it for personalization needs?
The best way is to retrieve this info on the java side using HAHA Cloud Platform APIs and send them back to the client.
Look at this - SAP HANA Cloud Platform SDK >
Package com.sap.security.um.user
Interface:
User
This interface provides read access to user data and is an extension of Principal.
UserAttribute
The interface represents abstraction over a user general attribute, such as an e-mail address.
UserProvider
This interface represents the service interface which provides read access to a user implementation.

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 delete users from Dev and Testing once it is deleted in Production

Sap Gurus,
Is there any automated way to delete the users from development and testing once it is has been deleted from production. i.e. when the administrator deletes the user from production after logging in then it should automatically delete the users from testing and development without logging on in these 2 systems (development and testing). Can anyone help me in resolving this issue.
I am very much thankful in advance..
Regards,
Kali

Rob,
Ok, you are right in that way I can allow only that person but I have to allow 2 persons at this time. i.e. If at all I have to allow one more person also how should I do it, and also what if the person uses different passwords in development and testing?
Thanks for your response Rob.
Kali.

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 prevent user from selecting a specific printer?

Hi there
I have a MailFolder which has an ArrayList of Email objects inside it. Each MailFolder has an attribute called folderFile which is a reference to a folder in the operating system. Each Email has an attribute called parentFile which is a reference to a file in the operating system.
Now, I am trying to put printing into my application.
When I print using a normal printer like my HP Deskjet or the likes - an actual physical printer - everything works fine. But when I print using the Microsoft Office Document Image Writer, things go wierd. The following things happen;
I call myMailFolder.getFolderFile().exists() and this = false. But if I (in the debugger) make a new file pointing to the same path, .exists() = true. Also if I look in the OS, the file exists. So somehow in the job.print() this Document Image writer seems to be messing up this file reference. The same thing happens to the myEmail.getParentFile().
So to fix this, can anyone tell me how to prevent the user from selecting this printer, or can anyone tell me why this is happening only with the Document Image Writer?
Many thanks!
Rachel

I have similar problem with our printing program. I am printing Java Tables, zoom in every column in a landscape page accross multiple pages.
There are two fatal problems:
1. On Dell Latitude laptop, the HP5100 printer didn't work; I have to change the code to draw the table header with 2D graphics.
2. Crash when printing on MS document image writer, but on some computers
it works perfectly.
Any one have a good solution/same result for topic 2?
Thanks,
