Install app so that its accessible to all users

Hi,  I have an application installed but its only accessible to a single user. There are two users on this MacBook and I would like both to have access. What should i do?

There are two Applications folders. One is at root on the drive and the other is in your Home folder.
If you install an application in the Applications folder that is in your Home folder then only you can use it.
If on the other hand you install into the Applications folder at root instead then everyone can use it.

  • PL/SQL: How to make a function accessible to all users?

    How can I make a function accessible to all users?
    I have written a stored function called GET_NET_BALANCE.
    I can run it but my users cannot.
    I have tried the following, but my users still cannot
    run the function:
    GRANT EXECUTE ON GET_NET_BALANCE TO PUBLIC;
    Thanks, Eileen

    Hi,
    You can try creating a public synonym on the function so that it is accessible to all.
    To get greater response.. please post your question at

  • Making a file accessible to all users

    Hi
    Win 8.1 Pro with Media Centre.
    I have a win 8.1 pc connected to a SBS 2011 domain. I have an MS Access MDE file in C:\Folder1\Folder2\Folder3z\MyMDE.MDE. I need the MDE file accessible to all users logged into to the pc. No matter how I set the permissions on the MDE file and the folders
    including Everyone the file is not accessible to all users. I have also disabled the User Account Control but no luck.
    What are simple steps to have a file accessible to all users please?
    Thanks
    Regards

    Hi,
    According to your description, I think this should be the folder problem. However, you can try to copy this file to the root of other Drive for test.
    In addition, please make sure its user was Everyone and had full control like screenshot below:

  • Mount SMB share accessible by all users

    Hello,
    I aim to have a smb share accessible to all users.
    I've tried to mount with mount_smbfs ou autofs, but each time the mount is only accessible to one user and no right to group or others.
    This is what i've do with autofs :
    in /etc/auto_master
    /Volumes/Resources
    auto_resources
    in /etc/auto_resources
    MyShare
    -fstype=smbfs
    ://login:password@hostname/share
    Then i enable the share with
    sudo automount -vcu
    When i try to acces the folder, it succeed but all the rights on all files in the share and the main folder it self become rwx------
    The same occure with mount_smbfs.
    How can i "force" the permissions of the shared folder to fit my need ?
    Thanks

    It sounds like you are talking about multiple users on a single computer being able to use the same mounted share at the same time.
    As you have seen this does not work. Either each will get their own individual mounted copy, e.g. "/Volumes/Resources", "/Volumes/Resources 1", /Volumes/Resources 2" etc., or the others execept for the first user will be blocked. This limitation applies to both AFP and SMB.
    However if you use NFS and do this before anyone logs in then it will be accessible for all users on that Mac at the same time.
    NFS is still available in Mountain Lion.

  • I have hcl me U1 tab and i m unable to install firefox. By any how i install it afr that its show the icon of firefox dexktop but still i am unable to use it

    "HCL Me u1 tab" I am unable to use firefox in it. After Installation can see firefox icon in widgets b8 not in apps.

    Nikki2012,
    I would guess that you have some filter applied in your apptray. Try to disable it in order to view all apps.
    Also you can use google play to run the installed apps. Open it, search for "firefox", and hit "open".
    Let me know if it helps.

  • Can i predefine more than one tab as an administartor, so that they appear for all users?

    I want to specify 2 tabs that should be visible to all users. (The user shouldn't have to log in and create a new tab). We can do this in iPS 6.0 but can we do it in iPS 3.0 sp3a?
    Regards,
    Vibha

    1.More than one tab can be created by setting the maximum number of tabs in the Maximum Number of Tabs text field
    2.To disable the creation of tabs by the users, is not possible in sunone portal server 3.0 sp3a. But the edit icon can be disabled by editing in the template file

  • How do I make an iPhoto Library accessible to all users of one computer ?

    My wife and I use our new iMac, and we log in independently.  However it seems all the photos from our family album can be seen only by me - when she logs in, iPhoto says there are no photos stored.  How do we share these photos across both user accounts ?  Same question would go for music

    The point of having different log-ins is that you can keep your data - that's your photos and your music - separate. If you don't, why have separate log-ins? So, the easiest and most simple solution is to use the same log-in.
    Other than that: what do you mean by 'Share"?
    If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
    Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
    Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
    If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc.
    Quit iPhoto in both accounts. Move the Library to the Users / Shared Folder (but note: some users find ongoing permissions issues with the Library in this location. It might be better to use an external HD set to ignore permissions, a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.)
    In each account in turn: Double click on the Library to open it. (You may be asked to repair the Library Permissions.) From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
    However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.

  • Why aren't my "File Types" accessible to all users? TS Win2k8R2

    I am an Admin on a Windows 2008 R2 server, with Terminal Services installed.
    I want to have particular file associations created / active, so that any user who attempts to open particular files on this server users certain applications. I opened Control Panel, went to Default Programs, carefully added or made sure the file types
    were associated as I wished. I clicked my test files and they indeed opened as I expected.
    I logged out, logged in as a test admin user (who had never logged into this server, had no user profile), expecting that the SAME test files would open as I had specified as my Admin user. This did not happen. Indeed, I was asked to associate them again
    (I did not do it). I went to control panel, checked default programs / file type associations ... and NONE of my carefully created file types were there.
    What am I doing wrong? I need to solve this (and another user-setting issue) ASAP.
    Thanks for your time.
    (and yes, I did search here first, I tried things suggested, but nothing has done it ... I have _NOT_ created a GPO file type setting, indeed, I am hoping I don't have to do that, because I have like 7 file types to configure, and that's a pain, and the domain
    Policy could over write this server's policy at any time)
    SM

    Hi,
    When you create a file association via the user interface you are creating a Per User association for your account.  To create global associations you would need to make the appropriate changes manually to the registry under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT (or find
    utility that does it) and/or use group policy preferences or similar technique to deploy registry settings to each user. The registry settings will in effect create Per User associations for each user.

  • All users share the same iCal

    I want all the users on my iMac to share the same Calendar. How do I do it?

    Here's how to share iCal calendars among multiple users on a single Mac.
    What you need to do is to move the iCal folder to a shared folder that is accessible to all users and then replace the iCal folder in each user's library folder with a "symbolic link' to the shared iCal folder. The symbolic link looks like an "alias", but if you try this using "aliases" to the shared iCal folder it will not work (trust me). You can create symbolic links using the Terminal, but I have no idea how, and the idea of using the Terminal scares me. The easiest way that I know of to create a symbolic link is with a shareware application called Cocktail. It allows you to do a number of different things including System Maintenance, Network Optimization, etc. It took me a while to remember how to do this; I originally found the information in the Discussions when iCal was first released, but apparently none of those original postings are listed in the forums anymore.
    Here's how to do it (you must have Administrator privileges):
    First locate your iCal folder (your user name > Library > Application Support > iCal) and make a copy of it (Finder > File > Duplicate). Drag the copy to your Desktop until you're sure iCal is being shared between users.
    Next move the original iCal folder into a Shared folder in the Users folder (Hard Disk > Users > Shared > iCal). To make sure all users can access the information, select the Shared folder, choose File > Get Info, click the little Lock icon, then under "Ownership & Permissions -> Details" make sure that the "Owner" is "System", "Group" is "Wheel" and "Access" for Owner, Group and Others is "Read & Write". Do the same with the iCal folder within the Shared folder, but this time, under "Ownership & Permissions -> Details" make sure that the "Owner" is "your user name", "Group" is "Staff" and "Access" for Owner, Group and Others is "Read & Write" and click the "Apply to Enclosed Items" button. I basing this information on what the Ownership & Permissions are for each of the folders in my system.
    Open Cocktail (I'm using version 3.6.5). Once the app is open (you must enter an administrator's user name and password) click on the "Files" button, then click on the "Links" button. Where it says "Create Symbolic Link" click on the "Choose" button. Navigate to the iCal folder (Hard Disk > Users > Shared > iCal) and click "Choose" again. In the "Save As" box that appears enter "iCal", then navigate to the Application Support folder in your Home folder (your user name > Library > Application Support) and click "Save". Quit Cocktail and open iCal. You should see all of your calendars as you did before.
    Log in under each additional User, move that User's iCal folder (user name > Library > Application Support > iCal) onto the Desktop, then create another Symbolic Link to replace it, using Cocktail as described above. In each case you should see the same calendar information as when you were logged in under your user name. As a test, add a New Event or To Do in iCal under one user, log out and back in under another user and you should see the changes when you open iCal.
    Once everything appears to be working, you can delete the iCal folders from each User's Desktop.
    As an additional maintenance measure, use Disk Utility to repair Disk Permissions.
    Unfortunately, if each User has his/her own calendars in iCal they will not be in the shared calendars. Only the calendars in the first iCal folder used to set up the shared folder will be available and I don't know of any way to merge or combine the other user's calendars into one.
    Hope this helps and good luck!

  • Installed Apps not showing in list - Windows 8, No...

    I have a new Nokia 620 running Windows 8. I have installed a number of apps and only around half of them show in the app list. I know that they have properly installed because the show up in the memory as installed apps and when I have tried to reinstall them through WIndows Store, I am unable because only the 'Share' button is available.
    Most of the apps which are not showing are childrens games/learning apps.
    There is no 'preferances' option in settings - store. This is the only solution I have been able to find but it is not available on my phone.
    How do I make these apps visible - and if this is not possible then how do I uninstall them given that they are not visible but taking up space?!
    Thanks in advance.

    I've had the same issue, on and off, since Adobe CC launched.
    Sometimes the apps are installed, sometimes the CC launcher suggests I install things that are already installed.
    Today it signed me out for no apparent reason and now offers me a Photoshop CC update but suggests I install the Lightroom that has been there all along.
    It just seems like bug-ridden software to me.
    This is not for the enterprise version but I imagine these forums are filled with the same broad issue over and over and over again.
    You might get updates, you might not, this is a feature.

  • Possible to store a variable in one comp and accessible to all other comps.

    Hi There,
    This question is mainly for architectural reasons.  Is there a way within the After Effects project file, to declare a global variable that is accessible to all comps?  I want to simply define a variable, set its value, and have that variable accessible to all the comps in the project.  Is there an "order" to which expressions get evaluated first?
    Any pointers or tips are greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Hi Dan,
    Thank you for your time and reply.  I am only trying to get access to a string from any comp.  I never thought about using a Composition object as a container for global variables, but your hint about the slider made me think of that.  Since I am only trying to get a string, I simply used a text layer that shows the actual string I want, so from any other Composition, I just reference the sourceText.text property of that text layer as per Javascript's DOM.
    Thanks!

  • How do I find an installed App?

    I'm surprised that Apple has failed to give us a way to find Apps that we've installed but removed from the screen.  We can 'search' for them and they'll come up, but once we have to close them, we'll have to go thru the whole process again.  Does anyone know how to find an installed App and secure its Icon to the screen?

    amember wrote:
    I'm not talking about Apps residing in Folders.  I'm talking about the Icon/App missing.  I've found the answer at long last....if we "deleted" an App, it will Open if we go to the App Store, find it and just open it.  But....that doesn't solve the problem because when we close the App, the Icon is 'still' not on our screen.  In order to get the Icon back so we can open the App the easy way...from our own screen, we must go to "Purchased" in the App store and RE-DOWNLOAD the entire App.  Whodathunkit.
    Whodathunkit? How about anybody that has used an iPad for the past 4 years. That is the way that it has always worked, as Gail has already stated.
