Iphoto user permission repair

I recently shared my iphoto library with another user on my Macbook. Now every time either one of us opens iphoto (when it is closed in the other's account) it asks to "repair user permission". Do we have to do this each time now? Also, this requires Photostream to re-upload pictures which is tedious.
Another question - why can't I see my Hard Drive folder in Finder?

The easy answer first:
Another question - why can't I see my Hard Drive folder in Finder?
Click somewhere on your Desktop, to bring the Finder forward. Then open the Finder's Preferences "Finder > Preferences"
In the "General" tab of the Preferences select everything you want to see on your Desktop.
Do the same for your Sidebar.
The "Permissions" problem is more tricky. Each time one of you repairs the permission of the iPhoto library, you make yourself the owner and the other user will need to repair the permissions again to be able to writs to the shared iPhoto Library or to edit a photo.
See this document: iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users
Sharing is best done by putting the iPhoto library onto a separate disk partition or an external drive. Then you can set the "Ignore Ownership on this volume" flag, and you do not need to repair permissions. This flag is set from the "Get Info" panel. Select the Disk Parition or external volume, press "⌘I" for "Get Info", and reveal the "Sharing and Permissions" brick of the panel. Click the padlock icon, authorize, and enable the flag:
Make sure, any drive or partition you are using for your iPhoto Library is formatted "MacOS X Extended (Journaled). If you want to use a drive previously used with Windows, reformat it using Disk Utility.

Apps exploiting user permission dialogs

Hello there!
I recently found out that certain apps which were published or updated after the launch of iOS 6 show a strange behaviour on iOS 6 when it comes to user permission prompts. When you are to decide if you allow the app to send you notfications or not, clicking "Deny" (or whatever the exact term is) will result in allowing the app to push notifications the same way like you had clicked "Allow". The only way to prevent this is to go to the notification settings and disable it a second time.
Apps with this behaviour are ONLY freemium apps or those with a strong IAP/ads-driven business model, so I believe developers use this exploit intentionally. The last app I saw doing this was "Mini Ninjas (from, I believe, Ubisoft - this app just went free for a couple of days and is still heavy on IAP), and I believe Nutty Fluffies and Mayday! Emergency Landing (and, of course, many more... I just wanted to throw in a few names so you can test it yourself).
Now my question: I am running iOS 6.0 and I want to ask if anyone who updated to a more recent version of iOS 6 can still reproduce this bug/exploit since I really do not want to get WIFI and/or battery drain issues so many people (and even a couple of friends of mine) got since the latest release.
I also hope this only counts for the Push notifications... if any app would be able to replicate that behaviour on other seemingly restricted areas like Address book, Photo, Location Data and Calendar access and go rogue like Path once did, this could get really messy. :/

Hi xuperuber,
Software Update says "Make sure you have permission to write to /tmp/501/TemporaryItems/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate, then try again."
There is an Apple document describing this problem. You could try the suggested solution. If this does not fix all the other problems you are seeing I would opt for an Archive and Install. The fact that the temp file is messed up might hint at a more serious system corruption. It is quite easy for the inquisitive mind to delete stuff that OS X really depends on
Anyway, Archive and Install is rather painless if you choose to keep your user account and network settings. Once you have a new system, download the 10.3.9 Combo updater and apply it. Then run Software Update and repair permissions. Once you have done all this your OS X experience should be trouble-free again.

HT1310 Ongoing permission repair problems --- is there a way to prevent or limit them from happening?

I seem to have Ongoing permission repair problems; I repair them (and there's lots to repair) and then not even a week or two later I check permissions and again huge repair job needed. Any idea why this keeps happening? Am I chasing symptom of larger/different issue?

The best thing for you to do is stop repairing permissions unless you are getting permissions errors relating to system files.
You are presently getting what sound like recurring but innocuous messages you can safely ignore. But unless you post something here to see, we have no clue what you are seeing.

End user permission ignored

Hello,
I have a problem with an end user permission that seems to get ignored: I wanted to demonstrate the usage of the end user permission and assigned a role to a User (for simplicity's sake as an entry point, no worksets, pages etc. involved) and enabled end user permission on the role for that particular user.
Now when that user logs in he gets to see the according entry in the navigation bar as expected. However if I disable the end user permission, log out and again log in the user, he stills sees the link. The end user permission setting is simply ignored. Can someone shed light onto this, could there be something wrong with the installation)?
I don't think this is an issue of permission inheritance (the role permissions are set explicitly anyway) or overlapping permissions due to membership in several groups - the user is only member of the single standard group 'authenticated users'.
Regards,
Sebastian
P.S. What's the use of a role assignment to a user without end user permission anyway (I mean why the option)? What happens if you don't add permissions on a Role for a certain user at all (I tried it, but the effect is the same as described above - end user permission seem to be irrelevant)?

Hi Robert,
thanks for your answer and for the link (and I thought I had read everything). I am not so sure however if I really understand the term 'runtime environment' for a user. I thought runtime vs. design-time meant the difference between the content a user sees when he is actually using the portal and the content an administrator has access to in the portal content catalog, i.e. a meta-environment accessible only through certain tools like the permission editor or similar.
I don't understand what you want to express with "It's used to restrict ... end user runtime environment" and why the "Page Personalization" is an example.
I realize that for roles the availability for a user is solely defined by the assignment of that role to the user - end user permissions have no effect on this. Confusing, because I tought this availability (i.e. showing links in the toplevel or detailed navigation) was what was meant by 'runtime environment' but I seem to be wrong here.
The docu says "for roles the end user permission setting does enable you to define which users/groups/roles are able to preview the role content using the portal design-time tools". Again, I am confused, I thought this was exactly the meaning of design-time environment.
Great if you or someone else could comment on this..
Regards,
Sebastian

Limited-access user permission lockdown mode and allowing anon users to view list items

I'm working on setting up a public-facing SharePoint website that will need to support anonymous user access. I'm using the Enterprise Publishing Portal site collection template, so the Limited-access user permission lockdown mode feature is turned on.
Everything is working great, except allowing users to view a list item. One of the key features I was hoping to leverage was the ability to display custom lists on a web page using a List View web part. Then they could click on an item and see the DispForm.aspx
so the item's content was accessible, including any file attachments.
A real-world example is adding an RSS viewer web part to the home page and allowing anon users to click on one of the events to see the details of it. Currently, in lockdown mode, the users gets an authentication prompt.
I toyed with the idea of turning the lockdown feature off. However, I'm uncertain of the full impact that would have on security. For example, I know it will allow anonymous users to see who created and modified an item, which we don't want exposed to the
public (i.e. our employee names). Seems like opening a can of worms by disabling the lockdown mode...
Any ideas on how to tackle this would be greatly appreciated.

So far, this is the most promising solution I've come across:

How to menage user permission

Hi all!
I'm developing a WEB application for menaging the information on the inside of an industry.
I use struts and JSF.
The problem is that I've different type of user that can connect to the server. (sell manager, engeneer, custumer, segretary...)
Every kind of user must have a diffrent level of access.
Example:the secretary can't access in the "engeneer" zone.
Another problem is:
for the same page,the user must see a different level of details.
Example:in the production page,the engeneer must see all the data,the chemical analist must see only the chemical analisis,and so on...
how can I structure the DB for managing that?
And how can I implement it?
What do you think about creating a level between the DAO to data and the application.
Every data have a specific permission to be see.
When a request for see the data comes,I match the required permission with the user permission.
If the user can't access to data, I throw an exception,that is catch above.
Anybody knows of any kind of articles on this argument?
Any advice?
sorry for my english.

Can I revoke this permissions once I grant?
You can use DROP and REVOKE commands to do the opposite.
USE [msdb]
GO
ALTER ROLE [SQLAgentOperatorRole] DROP MEMBER [TestLogin1]
GO
USE [msdb]
GO
ALTER ROLE [SQLAgentReaderRole] DROP MEMBER [TestLogin1]
GO
USE [msdb]
GO
ALTER ROLE [SQLAgentUserRole] DROP MEMBER [TestLogin1]
GO
use [master]
GO
REVOKE ALTER ANY CREDENTIAL TO [TestLogin1] AS [sa]
GO

Installing iTunes after registry user permission error

I'm just going to keep this simple. I ran CCleaner and cleaned the registry, then i ran Glary Utilities to clean up whatever CCleaner couldnt. THEN I downloaded iTunes from the apple website. I used winrar and extracted the install into a folder. I removed Bonjour64 from the folder and ran iTunes64. This bypassed Bonjour64 and installed iTunes flawlessly. When when I first opened iTunes it told me Bonjour64 needs to be running in my services...ingore it and continue. Bonjour64 is already running as it wont uninstall from windows when you have the innsufficient user permission error on the registry so its still installed. iTunes opened and I was able to use it as if the error never existed. Hope this helps! (ps after using other peoples tecniques i found that no-one elses worked without reinstalling windows...so I set out for my own solution.)

Permission Repair Warning

I performed a permission repair on my Intel iMac (OS X 10.5.5) and received the following message:
Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/Resources/OwnerGroupTool" has been modified and will not be repaired.
I don't know what the message means and whether or not I should be concerned. Is this fixable?

this message is harmless and should be ignored.

Checking user permission doubt

Hi everyone,
I have posted a question yesterday, but I have no right answer. I want to try again, please help me. It is urgent! I thank in advance.
I am developing a recursive tree in a Web Dynpro App. My tree has some nodes and sub nodes. Under the sub nodes I have documents. These documents are composed of header, footer, address, content and so on, which are loaded in runtime from Backend system. There is possible that thousand documents can be attached to a node. For accessing the documents we need to check the permission of the user. There are users who may read the whole content of a document. There are users who may only read parts of the document. For example, the information about salary of an employee shouldn't be read by every user. How can I check the user permission? Has someone any Suggestion?
Regards,
Hairong

Hi William,
thank you very much for your answer.
I haven't worked with ACL. With your answer, I hava read something about ACL. It is used for checking user permissions for accessing portal content.We have no portal now. Our application is standalone application. Do you know what is a connection between reqular UME permission and UME ACL permission?
By the way, we use UME to store our user profile. We have already tried to check user permission only for UME role of the user. We have also tried to follow the concept like the Web Dynpro tutorial RentCar APP with Actions and permissions. But all these can't resolve our problem really, because we can't create for every document a role or a permisson.
here, ich want also to thank Atul who had me an answer to my question.
Best regards,
Hairong

How to set End User Permission to an iView?

Hi experts,
can someone tell me how I can set End User Permission to enabled to an iView?

Hi there,
From what I have read you want a user to access an iView without an account. To do this you need to configure the J2EE engine for an anonymous user access and set the iView property for authentication to anonymous.
Because the user has no account you have to assign any roles you want to use for permissions to the anonymous user account configured for anonymous access.
There is documentation on help.sap.com on how to configure anonymous access.
Hope this helps.

Administrator and End user Permission

Hello Everybody,
How Administrator permission is different from End user permission, i cannot see any major changes if i assign or revoke those.
2. If i have assigned role assigner permission to a user who does not User administrator or any other administrator rights, how he is able to assign role to other user.
I have read on help.sap.com, but unable to understand.
regards
Santosh

Hi Santhosh,
1. The Name itself tells us the Difference .
 "Administrator" ->
 There r 3 types of Admn here
 a) "Content Admn" ( he is the one Who can create Iview / Role ..)
 b) "User Admn" ( he is the one who can Create Users and Assign Roles to the Users)
 c) "System Admn" ( he can change the System Properties ..Like Layout ,sys alias etc )
and End User is the one who doesn't have any of the Admn Roles . A default user may contain Only EU_ROLE
2.
 If u r a developer u must have Content Admn
 and for the basis guys must have User Admn and Sys admn.
Hope it helps .
Regds,
J

Regarding end user permission

Hi Gurus,
I have three iviews (v1,v2,v3)assigned to a role(RoleAll) which will be assigned to user. The requirement is: certain user can only see certain iviews.
my notion is:
another three roles(role1, role2, role3) created, and set the iviews' end user permission enabed to respective role(v1--->role1, v2>role2, v3--->role3), what I expected is : the user with role RoleAll and role1 will see v1.
user with role RoleAll, role1 and rol2 will see v1 and v2.
when I implement like this, the behavior is not as expected.
Can anyone body guide me?
Best regards,
John

Hello,
Assign iView 1 to Role1, iView2 to Role2 & iView3 to Role3.
Assign RoleAll to those users who should see atleast one of these iViews.
Then Assign Role1 to the users who should see iView1. Similarly assign
Role2 and Role3 to respective users.
Now use Role Merging concept. Give same merge IDs to all the roles. For
the user having two of these roles (for e.g, RoleAll + Role1), will see
only one merged role...and one iView.
refer:

FPN - End user permission

Namaste all,
I have followed
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/70191d1e-2bd1-2a10-d9b7-ba19500da527
for setting up FPN. But I didn't understand how to assign end-user permission for a person at the consumer portal. Can somebody guide me how to search for a consumer portal user in the producer portal?
Regards,
Krishna Murthy

You should just be able to navigate to User Administration tab in either portal to see the user. You can assign permissions via the PCD explorer. Locate the PCD object you wish to assign permissions to and right click and choose open --> permissions.
This [help guide|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/f6/2604f005fd11d7b84200047582c9f7/frameset.htm] explains it in more details.
Hope this answers your question.
