How to prevent users to create their own private list ?

Hello,
Is there a way to prevent users to create their own private list ?
Or to perform their own queries ?
Thanks for your help.

Any list or search will always query the database regardless of volume. For example, a user has access to just 1 account record. This record could be one of 10 million other account records. To allow the user to see this record, the entire account pool will be queried. That's where indexes help and queries are really fast.
Turning off search is not the solution. Ensuring queries are optimized is the solution. For example, manager visibility always slows down the search because the nature of a manager visibility search requires compex search patterns. So you could turn off manager visibility for your company and use alternate means like books. Manager visibility search is a feature that's primarily used by small-to-medium-business (SMBs). Large enterprises should never use it.

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:

Giving users control of their own distribution list control to add or remove external email addresses from their list

We are a Exchange 2010 SP3 shop, we have distribution groups (with over 200 email addresses ) from another email system which has only external email addresses (i.e [email protected] [email protected] and so on …..)
We want to import these groups into exchange. we called microsoft, they said create mail contacts for each address and put those in a Distribution Group. I know this will work.
Our goal is to have the user create / maintain / add / remove external their own email addresses (Not the IT department)
There must be many companies whose requirements match ours. Are there third party tools that would handle creation of distribution list?
Any constructive advice would be greatly appreciated ! THank you

I wouldn't give the ability to create contacts to everyone in the environment because it will become mess at some point of time and IT will have to jump to control it
anyway so why don’t from the start...
I would give this to certain people like Leads or Managers of the groups under certain IT Policy so it will be still under control and people
will think before asking their superior to create them and someone gets responsibility to manage these contacts...
Though here is the more specific article on how to delegate creating and editing contacts...

[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 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.

Prevent iViews from displaying their own scrollbars

Hi,
does anybody know how to allow vertical scrolling in pages exclusively by using the browser's vertical scrollbar (e.g. as it is realized in the SDN portal) respectively how to prevent iViews from displaying their own scrollbars?
Regards,
Christoph

Hi Christoph,
to turn off scrolling has certainly something to do with setting the height and height-type of an iView. But as discussed in this thread Automatic Height of iView/Page & Footer in Framework page
there is probably a bug in the EP. I have tried some combinations and had no luck either. In the forum thread is some javascript proposed. I haven't had time to check it out. But maybe it is some help to your problem.

Is there a way to prevent an end-user from changing their own password?

All you guru's out there, I need your help. Is there a way to prevent an end-user from changing their own password? Is there a function or procedure I can create or what?

In this case, you do not want someone (whoever they are DBA etc) to connect as that
particuler user to change the password.Yes, but I wouldn't expect the users to[i] know that password. The connnect would be handled automatically, behind the scenes.
The clear implication of the OP's question and response was that users would not be allowed to change their own passwords. I'm guessing this is in response to a policy that says users mustn't have simple passwords like 123abc or mom. In such a scenario a better approach would be to apply regexp to a user's password to ensure it contains a mix of letters, numbers, punctuation, etc to achieve the desired level of complexity.
So questions, should not be regarded as daft Agreed, but the same is unfortunately not always true of business decisions. As the OP has told us not to ask we cannot know why they want to do this. Personally, I think a user's individual password should always be their responsibility; anything else strikes me as insecure. YMMV.
Cheers, APC

How to configure security so users can delete their own file(s)?

I have configured our file server so that all users can write/modify in any other user's folder. However, it seems that they cannot delete their own file(s) in another user's folder. Do I have to give all users the "Modify" but not Full permission
so that every user can delete their own file or folder even if it's in another user's folder? I still do not want user A to delete/modify any files/folders that user B originally created.
Any help is much appreciated.

Hi,
Based on my research, if a user can rename a file/folder, then he/she can save it using the original name, there is no way to prevent this via permission assignment.
You may need to use scripts to achieve this.

How does one create their own interpolation

I am currently working on a tile-based environment in which the user controls a tank. I have been attempting to use interpolators to smooth out the movement between tiles, but I have had a lot of trouble acheiving the desired effects. From what I have gathered from various posts is that the interpolator classes are only useful for repeating animations (please correct me if this statement is wrong).
My question then is:
How does one create their own or methods which simulates the interpolation behavior; I am particularly interested in the PositionInterpolator for translating the missles fired by the tank.
I attempted to do this several times, but I have failed. Here is one of my attempts:
public void fire()
     show(); //show the missle geometry
     int TRANSLATION_TIME = 1000; //blast alive for 5 seconds
     float DISTANCE = 20.0f; //missle travels a distance of 20 units
     //interpolate path
     long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
     long endTime = startTime +TRANSLATION_TIME;
     long interval = endTime - startTime;
     float translationPercent;
     float lastTransPercent = 0;
     float dist;
     Transform3D translate = new Transform3D();
     while(System.currentTimeMillis() < endTime && !collision)
     interval = System.currentTimeMillis() - startTime;
     translationPercent = (float)interval/TRANSLATION_TIME;
     dist = DISTANCE*(translationPercent - lastTransPercent);
     lastTransPercent = translationPercent;
     translate.setTranslation(new Vector3f(0.0f, 0.0f, -dist));
     interpolate(translate);
public void interpolate(Transform3D translate)
     Transform3D t3d = new Transform3D();
     missleTG.getTransform(t3d);
     t3d.mul(translate);
     missleTG.setTransform(t3d);
What happens using this code is that the missle just waits at its initial location until the TRANSLATION_TIME has passed, and then jumps to the final position -- the missle does not smoothly translate to the final location. Are there any explainations out there for this behaviors.
-Thanks in advance

Hi,
I'm also working on a game environment where the user can move around in a spaceship and fire missiles etc...
I haven't looked much at interpolators, but I use Behaviors for everything I need to move/rotate/scale...
You can for example create your own behavior (by extending the Behavior class) and set it up to move the missile when you press a specific key, or when any other kind of event takes place...
You should check the documentation for the Behavior class.
Hope this helps...

I connected a friends ipod to my computer without syncing it. Now my apple ID is on their ipod. How do they delete my iD and create their own to be able to facetime and use apple store?

For Apple store go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores and sign out and sig in with correct ID
For messages go to Settings>FaceTime>You can be reached at and ad an their own unique email address and delete the common Apple ID address.

How do I prevent users from caching their sign in credentials on OWA page

I am using Forms based authentication and want to prevent users from caching their credentials on the OWA page.
Is there an easy way?

Hi,
Forms-based authentication enables a sign-in page for Outlook Web App that uses a cookie to store a user's encrypted sign-in credentials in the Internet browser. So this authentication method will force to cache their credentials in the Internet
browser for some time. The workaround is what Willard Martin suggested.

When one or more family members who have been sharing one iTunes account wants to create their own iTunes account can they each upload the music/apps from the shared iTunes on their devices to the new iTunes account?

When one or more family members who have been sharing one iTunes account wants to create their own iTunes account can they each upload the music/apps from the shared iTunes on their devices to the new iTunes account?

Yes. I would clarify your statement about the "shared" iTunes Library though. If you want each iOS device to have its own music library, you should create separate user accounts for them. Read:

Is this the start... Verizon is blocking Google Wallet which is very nice, and you probably don't know they are creating their own Verizon Wallet

I have been with this company for over 10 years and frankly I always overlooked one thing wasn't to keen on and that was some of the services Verizon offered on their website which many of the account related services they have as apps so you can view from your phone are good and useful. I have been an Android user since the first Moto Droid to the Incredible and Inc2, then I though I was gonna go iphone, until I was able to use one for a month. Don't get me wrong it wasn't bad it was my brothers 4G on another network when he upgraded to the 4GS. Anyway no real problems other than Android just has more to offer so I went with the Nexus Galaxy and stayed with Verizon, after I was flipping a coin to go to Sprint. Anyway the reason I am leaving Verizon is due to their attempt to create apps to try to compete with googles apps and Verizon charges... you can find most for free from the droid market(which is the Play store now) such as Navigation. The free Google Nav is awesome, I also have google voice(free) so I get text messages emailed to me and vmails emailed and texted to me as well as being able to listen straight from phone by pushing play by the missed call. Verizon continutes to create these apps that also cost money and aren't near as good. I actually feel bad for the people who think the VZ nav is in fact the google nav. Now they are blocking a new service of Google's called Google Wallet. It's free and really cool, but Verizon blocks you from installing it or using it and Verizon is spending over a 100,000,000 dollars to create their own Wallet APP that i'm sure won't be free. So it's not that one app as to why I am leaving, its a number of things that as an experienced user and add the fact that I work in the tech industry, in sales that I Verizon taking advantage of customers, and I don't work that way or like it. Okay you go buy a verizon phone, it will have the VZ Nav right there on the home screen, however there will be no google Nav, and for newbies they usually think this is the navigation everyone talks about. You have to go download the Google Maps which is a turn by turn navigation always up to date and is awesome. I watch my kid driving down the road at all times for free. My point is now that their blocking Google Wallet because they are creating there own wallet, which won't be as good, and probably cost money to even spend money meaning they will charge for it. What is the next brilliant thing that Google comes out with that you can intergrate into your Google services. So what is the point of trying to compete with Google on apps, I mean the Verizon wallet? Why it makes no sense. Why block an app thus not giving you the luxery. They have their reasons of course such as security, and other reasons that it could cause problems but, hey if you dare to spend the outrageous amount of money to activate your hostspot to connect your computer wirelessly in a park. 75% of the people who do this are going to be on an unsecured network that anyone can connect to even with security turned on. So they say there worried about security on the wallet app, because someone may cold get access to your small amount that most people keep on the google wallet but the wireless hotspot is putting much more that money out there. it's putting personal things and files on your computer out there. I just dont' get why they can't provide their songs and ring tones and apps that allow you to see you data usage and leave the apps for the Google market. For you who don't know please download google maps and you will have an awesome navivation. Also google talk, voice, chat, and there apps on the google market for free such as a punch clock for time. I saw one for over $14 on the verison app store. So stick to what you are good at ,and don't block apps that other companies aren't blocking including at&T now, and they were in on the $100,000,000 to create this app along with Tmoblie and Verizon. I use an android because of the capapbilites that google gives you, and the apps that they offer for free or no money. Go look in the Verizon apps and see how much you will pay. Most that cost money come preinstalled on your phone so all you have to do is use it and you start getting charged. This is a 3 year decision making. I don't like that people can easily get charged for services without even knowing just because the app was installed and they used it once. Just stay with what your good at and let the android users rightly use the google apps. After all Google Saved your business if you really want to think about it. If you didn't have the android OS, how many sales would you be getting? Where would your company be. This app was developed by Google which means it ties into everything else such as making online payments with the google card. Blocking APPS developed by the developer of the Operating System that single handedly changed the game, and has Made you as a company far better off than you would have ever been had they not developed android. Not a good Idea. Bite the hand that feeds you.

To prevent user from droping his own object .

Dear User
I have a database user like "aaa" in oracle 7.3.4.0.1 database.i do not want user "aaa" to drop his own schema objects like table and any other objects that he is owner.Do i have any system privilege to stop this user from doing so.User should be able to create objects and modify object but not to drop his own objects.For this purpose i have created a database trigger at database level to stop user "aaa" for doing above action.this trigger is giving me error on creation in oracle 7.3.4.0.1 .But when i tried same trigger in oracle 8i and 9i it work well.In oracle 8i and 9i it is preventing user from droping his own objects but i get other errors also along with raised error in trigger which i want to stop .The error which i am raising in trigger is
ORA-20001 INVALID COMMAND BUT OTHER TWO ERRORS THAT R RAISED AUTOMATICALLY ARE
ORA-00604 ERROR OCCURED AT RECURSIVE SQL LEVEL 1
AND
ORA-06512 AT LINE 8
I WANT TO STOP THESE TWO ERRORS .
PLZ HELP ME IN THIS REGARD AS SOON AS POSSBILE .
plz tell me is there any system privilege to stop user from droping his own object or any other way along with trigger at database level.
Thank u.

Hi
DBAs can use PRODUCT_USER_PROFILE (in system schema) to disable certain SQL and SQL*Plus commands in the SQL*Plus environment on a per-user basis. SQL*Plus, not Oracle, enforces this security. DBAs can even restrict access to the GRANT, REVOKE, and SET ROLE commands in order to control users' ability to change their database privileges.
The PRODUCT_USER_PROFILE table enables you to list roles which you do not want users to activate with an application. You can also explicitly disable use of various commands, such as SET ROLE. For example, you could create an entry in the PRODUCT_USER_PROFILE table to:
