Is it possible to have read access to users 'my folders' / proxy problem

Hi,
is this possible to set up the security in such a way that an administrator has a read access to all the users folders? e.g to user's 'my folders' content?
if the only possibility is to take ownership and grant access, what are unwanted consequences of doing so?
we enocunter multiple issues with users using obi incorrectly, but cannot access their private ibots/reports/subscriptions;
or at least: how to copy the users folders into test so that we can see the content; with no access if copied the folders are empty;
thanks in advance for any suggestions

up;
still having the problem to get the proxy functionality working
the setting I currently have is:
created the required table with proxies in db
adjusted instanceconfig -> added the message on max value 100
created a custom xml message to get the value/verify value/delegate users
created init blocks/variables for proxy, proxylevel, runas ('Empty' from dual)
granted the privilage proxy in presentation
we are using sso
weird thing is: even if i put in the custom message fixed values so that list of proxies/target users is fixed (i.e. instead '@USER' -> 'ADMINISTRATOR' ) it would not retrieve any values when I press 'Act as'
(error message: This functionality has not been enabled by your administrator)
id appreciate any suggestions
thx

I have connected an external hard drive to my new macbook pro. I only have read access. How do I copy folders to the external hard drive?

I have a new Macbook pro retina. I have connected a WD external hard drive, but have only read access. I want to back up my computer, and have the ability to archaive files. Any suggestions?

I have connected a WD external hard drive, but have only read access.
As ds store already pointed out, if the drive is formatted as NTFS, you can't write to it. Fortunately, the fix is easy, just erase the hard drive using Disk Utility as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
I want to back up my computer, and have the ability to archaive files. Any suggestions?
Backups and archival backups are not necessarily the same thing. An archival backup is to be kept indefinitely far into the future, and should never be changed after it is created. That does not mesh well with being on the same drive as a backup maintained day-to-day. Ideally, archival backups should be written to one drive - possibly multiple backups, but each one should never be touched after it is written - and other backups should be maintained with greater frequency on one or more other drives.
You can get a bit of compromise with an incremental backup, like what Time Machine does. That will keep old data as long as there's still free space on the drive, then will start removing the oldest copies of files to make space for newer stuff when necessary. Another alternative is the way Carbon Copy Cloner does incremental backups, where the data keeps piling up until the drive is full and then the backups fail until you remedy the situation. (This could allow you to fill up a drive and then put it on a shelf as an archival backup and start a new backup on a new drive.)
If you can specify more what you want to do, we can advise you better.

FR Read Access to User Issue

Hi All,
I have an issue with FR Report Viewer access.
Provided Viewer role and All access rights to all entities of the HFM application. But User can select the POV but unable to view the report, it displays blank screen.
Is I am missing any role to allocate to User. if so can any one please help me how it can be done???
Please let me know what would be the possible solution. I am using 11.1.1.3 version on Windows 2003.
Thanks,,
Edited by: Surya Prakash on Jun 3, 2010 8:43 AM

Even after giving the roles of Viewer and Explorer to the user still unable to view/read the report. When user runs a report, user see an empty white page.
The report doesn't display. No error message displays.
This issue is documented in unpublished Bug 8991596. So I gave content manager role to the User ID’s to run and view the report.
Cause:
Logged into Financial Reporting Studio before logging into Workspace.
The code does not correctly handle setting access to the required UserPOV folder when logged into Studio first.
This issue is documented in unpublished Bug 8991596.
Solution:
Upgrade to the product version containing the fix for the issue.
Log into Workspace before you log into Studio.
Provision all users who run Financial Reporting reports with the role of Content Manager or above.

Is it possible to authenticate ActiveSync access with user certificates ?

I would like to authenticate Iphone users to access ActivSync services with a user certificates.
Exchange version is 2003 SP2
Front end is ISA Server 2006
I set up an internal PKI
I read in the Iphone Enterprise deployment guide the following:
Exchange ActiveSync Features Not Supported
Not all Exchange features are supported, including, for example:
Client certificate-based authentication
My question is: Is my configuration working ? If not, will it be supported in the future ? Is there a roadmap ?

It was easily possible with iPhone OS 2.x, but it seems has changed something for 3.0. See also http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9660201

Read Access to Planning applications.

Hi Gurus
Is it possible to give Read access to the Planning applications through HSS? similar to 'Read' access of the essbase apps? I m in 11.1.2.1 and the Provisioning Options we have are Administrator, Analytic Services Write Access, Cube Creator, Interactive user, Manage Models, Mass Allocation, Planner, Provisioning Manager, View user. Only view user sounds right for the read access I need. If I select read access, it looks like I need to give access to all the forms, dimensions (members) etc read access in each plannign app.. Is there a default Role for All Read Access to the Planning apps?
thankyou
rrK

Planning security is different than Essbase security. You'll have to provide him read access on your secured dimensions for him to view the dimensions. same is applicable for forms.

How to show a database to a user for which only he has the read access?

Hi All,
We have a SQL Server and it has say 10 datatabases, we have created a login and also a user which has read access to just one of the 10 databases.
I used
use [master]
DENY VIEW ANY DATABASE to msam_test
To hide all the databases from explorer for that user if he logsin with msam_test.Now, i want this user to see a database named suresh3_test for which he has a read access.
Can someone please help me if this is achievable?
Thanks

hi,
It is not possible to look at one database if the user only have read access in your scenario.
either you revoke the DENY VIEW ANY DATABASE permission, which will list all the databases for the user
or You need to make the user database owner by doing so:
First delete the user from the database
Right click on the database and select properties and change the owner to msam_test as shown in the pic below
But the user will have owner rights on the database.
Hope this clarifies your doubt. The same was explained in your earlier post as well
Thanks

Shared Services, create read access to a cube into an application us a grou

Hi,
I have an application with 3 cubes. I have created a group in Shared Services, and i want to give read access only to one cube.
If i give provision to this group , i only can give read to all the application, so all the cubes are going to have read access.
How must i do to give only read access to one cube and not to all,
Thnx
Guillermo

Hi,
This post will help answer your question :- Assigning database access using Shared Services
If you are using Shared Services access is applied at application level and you can't select individual access to each database.

Users with read access to the site unable to view Managed Metadata Navigation

Hi everyone,
I created a Managed Metadata service and created group, term-set and terms
I gave read access to users
I set up navigation to use Managed Navigation
I am logged in as farm admin and able to view the navigation when i browse site. But user are not seeing navigation.
One thing i noticed is when i give users full access or designer access to site they will be able to see the navigation. but i don't want to give users full access or designer access to the site.
How can users with read only access to site can view Managed Metadata Navigation...Please help?

Hi Sunil,
Have you given your users permissions to actually read the MMS data from the service application?
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff625176.aspx covers permissions on the MMS.
Regards
Paul.
<<edit>> On reflection you might be hitting the issue in this Stackexchange post..
http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/75636/permissions-and-managed-metadata-in-navigation Is yours behaving the same way?

Social comment control in custom page layout stucks at "Working" for read access users

Hi,
I created a custom page layout which is attched to my custom content type.
i have a custom field control which is derived from RichImageField.
i have also added a social comment control to the page layout using
<SharePointPortalControls:SocialCommentControl ID="SocialCommentControl1" runat="server" />.
Now the problem is, an user who have read access for a pages library should post comments. but its not working and when the user clicks post button it stucks at working. but when the user is given contribute access then it works and the comments are posted.
And one more thing is if i remove my custom field control from the page layout, then user with read access can post the comment without any issues.
i am sure the issue is caused by my custom field control but dont know how to solve it. i dont want to give contribute access to the users as they can edit the content of the page also. Any help would be appreciated.
This is the custom field control code.

Reading access to System Configuration

Hi,
we need a role for developer which can perform only read-access to all tasks of Workset "System Administration".
I have created a role and I have added workset "System Administration" (Portal Content --> Content Provided by SAP --> Admin Content --> System Administrators --> Worksets --> System Administration) to role. I have modified the workset in the role by deleting not needed pages. I have modified Security Zones (System Administration -> Permissions -> Security Zones -> com.sap -> Netweaver.Portal -> high_safety ) for that role (ADD the created role with None/ Enduser). I have also changed the permissions of folder Portal Content (ADD new role with read / No Enduser).
But the user with the created role has write/delete access to all System Administration objects like System Administration --> Themes or System Administration --> Knowledge Management --> System Configuration.
Do anybody of you have an idea how I can modify the System Administration Workset permissions so that the user only have read-access to the objects?
Regards
Sabine

Hi,
it doesn't work.
Let me explain once again. I have created a customized role and I have applied two workset as delta link to workset System Administration and Content Administration that means the role contains two worksets - workset "Content Administration" and workset "System Administration". I have assigned the role to the user and it works for workset Content Administration. That means the use can read the PCD Content and the KM Folder but the user can not modify. But for the second workset - System Administration - it doesn't work.That means the user can perform modifications in the whole System Configuration items.
Regards
Sabine

I only have READ permission to certain Volumes

I just installed leopard on my ATA drive as the install does not see my SCSI drives. However after I install it and install my adaptec drivers - it mounts and sees the two SCSI drives I have just fine.
The issue is while I can access the drives I only have READ access. Yet when I click on info. It says I have read and write access. (everyone is listed as read only) The drive info says write = no.
If I boot to my SCSI drive's OS X Tiger it I can read AND write to the other SCSI drive as well as the ATA drive.
Does anyone know why in leopard it says read only? Does anyone know how to fix this? Ive searched, but have had no luck. Thanks for the help!

it actually is checked, but its also grayed out so that i cannot change it. Actually the entire permission section at the bottom is grayed out. Its as if the drives are locked when viewing them in Leopard.

Downloaded 5.1.1 to my iphone. Now, Safari will not connect to my server. Can not download web pages and many of my apps. Email seems to be ok. iphone running slow and sluggish. I have read several other users have experienced the same problem. Any solutions?

Basic troubleshooting steps oultlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device.
You need to go through all steps in succession until your problem is solved. If going through ALL these steps fails to resolve your issue, then you'll need to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.

SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges Not Working for Read Only Permissions Users

I have the following code in a method that generates tabbed web parts on any page in SharePoint 2010.
The problem is that it will not work for users who have Read access only on a SharePoint site. It will work when those users have Contribute access.
So even though I have elevated permissions in the code it does not actually elevate the permissions at the point where it is needed.
if (panel != null)
try
using (SPLimitedWebPartManager wpManager = SPContext.Current.Web.GetLimitedWebPartManager(HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.ToString(), PersonalizationScope.Shared))
try
// Elevated previleges required for EXPORT and IMPORT. Else Users with normal read access will get errors.
SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
// Retrieve the web part titles in the ConfigureTabs XML string for this tab.
var webPartTitles = from t in xDocument.Descendants("webPart")
where (string)t.Parent.Attribute("name") == (string)e.Item.DataItem
select (string)t.Attribute("title");
foreach (string wpTitle in webPartTitles)
foreach (System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.WebPart webPart in wpManager.WebParts)
// Find the matched closed web part in WebParts collection
if (webPart.Title == wpTitle && webPart.IsClosed == true)
string errorMessage;
//ADD EXPORT PROPERTY
webPart.ExportMode = WebPartExportMode.All;
MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream();
XmlTextWriter writer = new XmlTextWriter(stream, System.Text.Encoding.UTF8);
// Export the closed webpart to a memory stream.
wpManager.ExportWebPart(webPart, writer);
writer.Flush();
stream.Position = 0;
XmlTextReader reader = new XmlTextReader(stream);
// Import the exported webpart.
System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.WebPart newWebPart = wpManager.ImportWebPart(reader, out errorMessage);
reader.Close();
writer.Close();
// Show the imported webpart.
panel.Controls.Add(newWebPart);
break;
catch (Exception ex)
// For debugging use only.
Label label = new Label();
label.Text = "Please check your XML configuration for error. " + Environment.NewLine + ex.Message;
panel.Controls.Add(label);
catch (Exception ex)
// For debugging use only.
Label label = new Label();
label.Text = "Please Check SPContext.Current.Web is not null. " + Environment.NewLine + ex.Message;
panel.Controls.Add(label);
This snippet of code was originally pulled from a microsoft technet article on creating Tabbed web parts "the correct way" but it doesn't work in all scenarios.
Is there a way to get this code working for Read/Visitors to a SharePoint site?

From initial observation what I see is that your SPLimitedWebPartManager is not created from an elevated web. Try like below
SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
using(SPSite elevatedSite = new SPSite(SPContext.Current.Site.ID))
