Is admin privilege required to prepare hosts?

In attempting to segregate roles and activities using group permissions in N1 I came across the question of whether users who were not a member of the admin group have the privilege to prepare hosts? I looked into the documentation but did not find anything that addresses this question.

Turns out you don't need admin rights to prepare a host.
To prepare a physical host, user must belong to a user group that has Create, Edit, Delete permission on hosts.
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-4450/6n6jp1i56?a=view
However, we learned through testing that the user who has these permissions (but isn't in the admin group) cannot prep the host from the GUI. Instead, they must run the prep command from the cli:
$cr_cli -cmd pe.h.prep -u <user> -p <passwd> -tar NM:<hostname>
Sun is now aware of this bug.

Admin privileges required to install TurboCad

I am trying to install TurboCAD ver.3 on OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. In am getting the erroe message, "This installer requires admin privileges to run."
I have seen a lot of discussion on this in Snow Leopard and I tried everything that was suggested, including changing the TRUE to FALSE in Install Script.
When I try to change it, I get the message that "This Script couldn't be unlocked because it resides on the locked disk TuboCAD Pro............ect."
Anybody know how to unlock that so I can edit the script?

Using Mac 10.7.5 I have had the same problem, but the fix described didn't work. The solution below worked for me so I thought this thread would be a good place to share it.
1) Show package contents of the TurboCAD installer app (right click on it in Finder).
2) Copy the folder Contents/Resources/Installer Items/TurboCAD Mac Pro v3.0 from the installer into the Applications folder on the mac.
3) Run the following in terminal:
sudo mkdir /usr/local
sudo mkdir /usr/local/lib
sudo cp /Applications/"TurboCAD Mac Pro v3.0"/Temp/libxerces-c.dylib /usr/local/lib/libxerces-c.dylib
sudo cp /Applications/"TurboCAD Mac Pro v3.0"/Temp/libxerces-c.dylib /usr/local/lib/libxerces-c.27.dylib
4) Run the application by clicking TurboCAD Mac Pro.app from within the TurboCAD folder in the Applications folder. Enter registration information as normal.

Install failed in AAM "Admin privileges required"

Hi,
I'm running 27" iMac, mid 2011, OSX 10.8.3. When I try to install Photoshop, I'm prompted to enter my Admin password. The password is accepted, but AAM tells me that the installation failed because 'Administrator priviledges are required to install.' Only one account on the Mac and it's the Admin. Have set download permissions to "Anywhere" in the Security and Privacy preference panel. Have Firewall on set to 'Automatically allow signed software to receive incoming connections'. I'm stumped.
EDIT **Uninstalling AAM and reinstalling seems to have fixed the issue. My setting listed above have not changed. Thank you**

Admin access required for downloading e-licenses?

Hola. Do end users need administrative access to their computers in order to download the e-license during the 30 day grace period?
Thanks!

Hola Morgan, Como estas? :-)
The answer: No, no admin privileges required to download an e-license to the machine.

User requires ADMIN privilege to perform this operation.

Hi
I have written a procedure which creates a new workspace. The owner of the package has been granted apex_administrator_role. This works fine with SQL Developer/Plus.
But when I try to use this procedure from my Apex page I get User requires ADMIN privilege to perform this operation.
I understand that Apex makes a connection with APEX_PUBLIC_USER, and this can be one of the reasons of the error. But I would like to know if there is some solution:
My code is:
      apex_instance_admin.add_workspace (
        p_workspace          => p_name,
        p_primary_schema     => p_name,
        p_additional_schemas => '');
--p_name is passed as a parameter and workspace and primary_schema name are the sameHabib

I think you will need to grant privleges to apex_instance_admin directly to the owner of the package.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14072_01/network.112/e10574/authorization.htm#BABFJEGJ
The privileges of the procedure's definer must be granted directly to the user, not granted through roles.

How do I solve the following message from Code Blocks on a OS X (10.10.2): "Agreeing to the Xcode/iOS license requires admin privileges, please re-run as root via sudo." ?. It appears when I try to compile any code.

Whenever I try to compile any code the following messagem appears: "greeing to the Xcode/iOS license requires admin privileges, please re-run as root via sudo."
I'm using CodeBlocks v. 13.12. Its file (codeblocks-2.app) is inside the App folder.

I suggest you ask whomever makes CodeBlocks.
They would be the most knowledgeable.

Installer requires Admin Privilege to run

I'm a new user on a Macbook. Its been about 20 years since I last was on an apple. I need help, I'm trying ton install a game on my laptop. When I click on the installer to install the game a window pops up saying "installer requires Admin privilege to run" and the only option is to quit. What do I need to do to get this game installed?
Thanks so much!!

/Applications/Utilities/Disc Utility - a very handy tool in all sorts of situations.
I'm most surprised that a new account with admin permissions wasn't able to perform the install I'm at a loss what might be causing that to be honest ... maybe the repair permissions on the drive will sort it out, perhaps the entire folder has had write access removed somehow. You could select the destination folder location and Get Info on it and look at the permissions settings at the bottom, does it allow any user to Write there or is it Read only I wonder ?

After upgrade to EMET v4.1 and reboot EMET_Agent didn't self-restarted but now double clicking its icon shows error "Admin privileges are required"

Hello all,
after on my Windows XP SP3 test client I upgraded to EMET v4.1 (from v4.0) and rebooted I noticed the following:
- EMET_Agent didn't self-restarted so I had to run it manually (and I noticed that after it started it also self-added an undocumented --NoRestart command line option),
- now that its icon is already in SysTray (Notification Area) the error "Admin privileges are required" appears whenever I double click on it or select 'Open EMET', so in case of need I can run EMET_GUI.exe only manually.
Is all this normal and expected or there can be any other possibly known way to avoid or definitely fix both effects ?
P.S. If to better show effects also providing any bitmap should be needed, then please just let me know.
Thanks in advance for any helpful reply or suggestion. Regards.
Rob

Hello everyone again,
I'm updating this post to ensure anyone interested may know how to definitely solve this issue.
After verifying that same annoying issue was also found with EMET 4.1 update 1 (valid for its 1st 4/30/2014 release, and verified also with
current and latest 5/29/2014 version) I recently made some little more investigation and after noticing its weird command line (reported by Process Explorer) simply as :
--NoRestart
I simply ensured to manually force same option to be properly set at startup, and that's it. :-D
So here you are quick updated versions of :
- EMET41NotificationFix.reg
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"EMET Agent"="\"C:\\Program Files\\EMET 4.1\\EMET_Agent.exe\" --NoRestart"
- EMET41upd1NotificationFix.reg
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"EMET 4.1 Update 1 Agent"="\"C:\\Program Files\\EMET 4.1\\EMET_Agent.exe\" --NoRestart"
I hope this helps (and if it does then please be kind and vote this post as useful... ;-) ) while to some forum moderator I'm asking to kindly mark this post as Answer.
P.S. It's just a pity that latest current version of EMET 4.1.1 (aka 4.1 update 1) cannot easily install over its 1st release (its setup suggest to 1st remove existing version), anyway I've found a tricky (hacked) way to overcome this limitation while also
avoiding reboot so in future I'll consider to share it publicly in a different discussion.

This installer requires admin privileges to run

I'm trying to install a new Application (ViaCAD 2D/3D). I get the message "This installer requires admin privileges to run" with no option to enter admin password.
Thing is, I am clearly the Admin user with all privs.
Searched a lot of forums and tried a lot of ideas... but to no avail. Prior installations proceeded without error. Of course, the manufacturer support simply blamed Apple and closed the support question. Console log shows no errors.
This one has me totally stumped (and I have 20+ years admin experience).

Update:
The application installed on another system running 10.4. On the offending system, I tried another Admin account, ran repair permissions from Utilities, made sure Admin had R/W privs on Apps folder, moving the .dmg file to the Applications folder, did a reboot, searched for a VidCad plist file. Out of ideas.

"requires admin privileges to install"

Hi,
I'm trying to install a game on my computer and it's not working. I put the disc in, click on the installer, and a window pops up stating "This installer requires admin privileges to run." I only have one user account on my computer and I have already checked that it lists me as having administrative privileges.
My mac has Snow Leopard and is running Mac OS X version 10.6.8
The game is Diner Dash Party Pack by PlayFirst.
Any thoughts on what I can do?
Thanks!

Lion apparently requires computer reboot to change the admin privilege

I have a special account on my system which is used to run backups for my company's servers. When maintenance is required on this account, I have to grant the "admin" privilege to that account. At other times, this privilege is revoked. It used to be on Snow Leopard that I could freely grant and revoke that privilege from my main account, which of course has admin.
But now every time I do this I am told that I must reboot the computer for the admin change to take effect. This is quite a disruption and I am wondering if this new behavior is expected under Lion, or something else is wrong.

Oh, okay.
I was once able to change the password, and then I changed the password of my account in their Microsoft Exchange Server.
And after that, I was unable to change the password on my Mac.

Reset Password without Admin Privileges

I am using the latest APEX hosted via apex.oracle.com. I'm trying to create a 'forgot password' capability but it appears that every built-in apex utility that allows me to reset and/or update the password requires admin privileges. Is there any way to do this without having admin privileges? I'm using APEX Authentication.
Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark,
Create an authentication function with two parameters something like this and follow the link to create a custom authentication scheme.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23903_01/doc/doc.41/e21674/sec_authentication.htm#HTMDB25778
function my_authentication (
    p_username in varchar2,
    p_password in varchar2 )
    return boolean
is
    l_user my_users.user_name%type := upper(p_username);
    l_pwd my_users.password%type;
    l_id   my_users.id%type;
begin
    select id , password
      into l_id, l_pwd
      from my_users
     where user_name = l_user;
    return l_pwd = rawtohex(sys.dbms_crypto.hash (
                       sys.utl_raw.cast_to_raw(p_password||l_id||l_user),
                       sys.dbms_crypto.hash_md5 ));
exception
    when NO_DATA_FOUND then return false;
end;

AIR runtime and AIR applications built using Captive Runtime still need Admin Privilege to Install

I am working on a small project to install AIR application(native .exe & .dmg) with AIR runtime without needing the Administrator privilege so I used Captive runtime but the installation is still asking for admin privilege
I bundled AIR application with AIR runtime using Captive runtime from flash builder 4.6, then I packaged this into a .MSI using Advanced Installer. Now when I install it for a user without admin privilege it prompts me for Admin credentials.
Can you please tell me if
1. I need AIR distribution license to install AIR runtime without Admin privilege
2. Do I need a different installer
3. Am I missing any step here
Thank you

If you're installing to a location where Windows requires elevated privileges, like Program Files, you'll need to have admin privileges to continue. Are you using an AIR based native installer or have you taken the application with the captive runtime and rolled this up in your own installer?
Here's a section from the Installation and deployment options in Adobe AIR 3 article that might help:
Installation privileges
When designing an installer, one has the option to choose from approaches that may or may not require administrative privilege. For example, a drag-and-drop install on Mac OS X requires no special privilege; users can always copy the application into their own application folders, for which they have the necessary permissions. On the other hand, if registry keys must be written to the machine-specific portion of the registry on Windows, installation of that application will require administrative privilege to do so.
The two installer formats directly supported by AIR, AIR files and native installers, have always required administrative privilege. This was a design decision made in part to simplify the implementation of the AIR installers: If administrative privilege is assumed to be available, implementation is possible if the registry can be written to, and so on. It was also selected because, in many enterprises, this is the desired behavior: administrators can use the privilege requirement to gate software installation.
All the same, there are scenarios where supporting installation without requiring administrative privileges is desirable, or even necessary. This can now be achieved using custom installers; you simply need to author an installer that operates correctly with only standard user privilege. In practice this can be easy to achieve; a simple install-by-copy to a writable location (that is, in the user's own folder) will suffice. Should you author a more complex installer, you should keep in mind that the addition of certain operations during the install process will in turn reintroduce the requirement for administrative privileges.

Business Area not visible to account with admin privileges

Hello,
I've encountered the following scenario on visiting a client site:
A Business area has been created by the EUL owner account (IFL) and he has granted admin privileges to another account (BRIANB who has been granted the DBA role). However, when BRIANB logs onto DIscoverer Admin, the Business area in question is not visible. BRIANB is able to create a new business area in the EUL which includes folders that are part of the 'invisible' BA. BRIANB is not able to access the 'invisible' BA using Discoverer End User. I'd be very grateful if anyone out there has an explantion for this,
regards,
KEvin.

Problem solved. My client inadvertently created an additional EUL when initially logging onto Disco Admin as BRIANB. Thereafter this was the default EUL. The errant EUL has now been deleted the required BA's are now in view,
Kevin.

Add-On installation showing admin privileges error

Hi all,

The SAP folder in " C:\Program Files\SAP " has been given full Admin privileges.
But still not able to install the Add-Ons. Giving error of no rights/permission .
Can you please help me locate some other folder which need to be given Admin privileges so that the Add-Ons will install.
Regards,

@ Pvsb prasad k,
Thanks for the reply.
We have tried giving full rights(full control) to the user for the SAP folder in " C:\Program Files\SAP ".
But still the Add-On installation problem exists.
Is there any other folder of SAP which requires the full control permission to be given?
Please suggest.
