Is it possible to prevent users from changing iPad background?

I am currently helping deploy 130 iPads for a school using Apple Configurator. I have set the desired wallpaper and lockscreen text via Apple Configurator, however this can easily be removed if a user decides to change the lockscreen wallpaper. Is there any way to set a restriction that would prevent a user from changing the lockscreen wallpaper? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for the help in advance!

I heard that with iOS6 MDMs could have the ability to remotely change the wallpaper and lockscreen OTA. So far Airwatch is the only one I've heard of that claims to be able to do it:
http://www.air-watch.com/company/news-room/press-releases/2012/09/airwatch-offer s-same-day-comprehensive-support-for-apple-ios-6
(scroll down to "New MDM Capabilities")
I hope other MDM's adopt this. It sure would be nice to be able to do this from an MDM.
Hope this helps!

Is it possible to prevent users from viewing a page in Edit Mode?

Hello everyone,
I would like to know if it is possible to prevent users from accessing a portal page in Edit Mode. Currently, the users do not have access to any links that take them to edit mode, but if they add &_mode=16 to the end, they view the page in edit mode. Granted, they don't have permissions to add or edit content, but I would like to keep them from seeing this.
I am using 9.0.4.1
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Jim

hi jim,
you cannot really configure this in portal. if somebody manually appends &_mode=16 we display the default edit mode, but fully enforce security. this means that the user cannot see anything he is not allowed to see: like pending items, hidden, expired or deleted items. as you said he also cannot add, edit or delete any items.

christian

Prevent user from changing calendar permission

Hi team,
How to prevent users from changing calendar permission in outlook. When user open calendar option in Outlook he should either he should able to view the calendar sharing tab or he should not able to make modification in calendar permission by assigning permission
to others.

Hi,
Agree with Andy. Exchange has no built-in feature to prevent mailbox owner to modify their calendar permissions. Since they are owners, they can set their calendar permissions.
Thanks for your understanding.

Is there a way to prevent users from changing the Advanced, Connection, Settings Tab?

I need to stop network users from changing the proxy settings to avoid the firewall. Is there any way to disable or prevent them from getting to the advanced, connections tab, and changing the settings for the proxy?

You can lock the corresponding prefs, then users won't be able to change the settings.

How to prevent user from changing a field on a Form.

I have a form and a report on the same page. The form is used to set criteria for the report. So after the criteria is entered on the form a button is clicked, which passes the criteria to the report. The form also displays some additional data based on the criteria, i.e. I do a query on the form.
The problem I'm having is preventing the user from changing the additional data which is displayed. I tried all the wizzard options; i.e. not updatable, not insertable etc. but the user can still change the data.
The only options seems to be writting some Java code for one of the triggers, but I haven't written any Java before.
So I was wondering if anyone has a non-Java solution for this problem or an example of a Java program I could use to solve the problem.
Thanks for any help
Larry

Hi,
Suppose you want Empno, Sal fields of Employee table as Query only and all other fields user updateable then
uncheck all the three check boxes
Mandatory , Updatable , Insertable under validation options for those fields.
When you run the form, these fields appear as text items in query mode and will appear labels once the querying done.
Hope it works

Is it possible to prevent users from using the ''Purge'' option from the ''Recover deleted items'' in Office 365?

Hi,
After speaking with a Microsoft engineer over the phone, I've been told that there is no way to prevent users to go to their OWA and manually Purge specific items from the ''Recover deleted items''. The Microsoft tech told us to place the desired mailboxes
on a litigation-hold and that all data will be recoverable... but only from the time you place the mailbox onto Litigation-Hold and previous items, which doesn't take effect for new-coming emails.
1- From what I understand, any new items coming in the mailbox after the Litigation-Hold is put in place will still be ''purgeable'', right?
2- Is there a way (PowerShell, Security group, etc.) that can prevent a user from using the Purge option?
We are very surprised that there is absolutely no thread that talks about this issue, which in our opinion, is a major legal and security flaw from Office 365. This is a main concern for us to actually go with Office365. For instance, this means that at
any given time, if a user exchanges emails with a competitor, they can manually purge emails sent and receive as soon as it is sent/received, even after Litigation-Hold is in place.
Thank you for your reply and let us know if you have more questions.

Thank you for the reply.
Is there still a way to prevent users from using the Purge option, like with a Powershell script to disable Purge?

Prevent user from changing accessibility

Hi,
I have set up an additional user but find that when I sign in as that user I can change the permissions of MY folders using Get Info. The new user, named "guest", cannot access my folders by double clicking on them, that's good, but can change the permissions of them (which I haven't tested out to see if that means guest can really access them then. It is just disturbing that gues can change permissions at all.)
I have set up that guest cannot change settings in the Finder, under Parental Limits. Why can I, when signed in as guest, change permissions of MY folders? (I have administrator privileges.)
I have logged out, gone between the two users, shut down, quit the Finder so it has to restart and still guest can change these permissions. I have heard that it seems to take time for my changes to take effect. When will they (or do I need to do additional things?)
More precisely, I can unlock the permissions using Get Info, change the permissions to guest from my admin name, the OS asks for the admin name and password (might be something the guest may know) and then, when the name and ID are entered in, they can change their accesibility to my folders and get in. Yes, the permissions are password protected but I don't like the idea that having set it up to prevent this, it can still be done by a (non-administrative) user. (Sorry if there are mispellings here. This paragraph wasn't spell checked.)
I basically want to prevent that user from accessing anything other than my apps. I do want and have it set up now so that guest can create their own documents.
Thanks for any help.

More precisely, I can unlock the permissions using
Get Info, change the permissions to guest from my
admin name, the OS asks for the admin name and
password (might be something the guest may know) and

change their accesibility to my folders and get in.

Why would a Guest user or anyone else know your admin password? They wouldn't unless you provide it and without it, what you are describing can' t happen.
I'm the only user of my Mac and I've disabled automatic login even though there are no other users so with multiple user accounts especially, automatic login should not be enabled which requires each user to enter their password to login to their account. Even with Fast User Switching enabled, no one can gain access to your admin login account or to anyone else's account and without anyone else knowing your admin login password, you maintain control.
A non-admin Guest user or any user account without admin privileges can become the admin (you) if you provide your admin password to a Guest or to anyone else. Without it, no one else has your admin privileges.

Sales Order - Prevent user from creating more that one schedule line

Hello,
Is it possible to prevent users from adding lines (rows) in the schedule line tab of VA01/VA02 ? Our requirement is that one item will have one only schedule line, the quantity cannot be split into different dates.
Regards,
Joã

Hi
There are 2 schedule lines with different dates for a single line item in a sales order because of forward scheduling done by the system
System does backward scheduling first and if it fails then it does forward scheduling and that is why you find 2 different schedule lines
In configuration you can restrict the system to do only backward scheduling and stop after that
I am not infront of SAP now to tell you exactly where is the configuration available
I think it is Logistics execution--delivery scheduling
But This config is definately available in standard system to avoid 2 or more schedule lines for a single line item in a sales order
But i am not able to understand what is the business logic for such a requirement because i feel it will create a lot of problems
with this requirement

How do I prevent other Mac users from changing my Airport Extreme Network Name and Password within the Airport Utility?

How do I prevent other Mac users from changing my Airport Extreme Network Name and Password within the Airport Utility? My company is using an Airport Extreme in our office now and I want to prevent other employees from messing with the network/settings. Is there a way to place a password on the settings to allow only the admin to access the network name and password?

Hi - you have will have to change the device passwords on all the base stations and then don't give them to anyone except the administrators and tell them not to save them on their computers that use the older versions of the Airport Utility - for the newer versions like the mobile apps, as soon as you enter the pasword it is saved and is visible in the advanced pane along with the network password - so if anyone gets a hold of your iPad or iPhone, they can edit the whole network - I have this same issue with my networks in the office and it is inconvenient but doable - I hope this helps

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.

Prevent a user from changing the Project ID in P6 EPPM 8.3.7

Does anyone know if there is a Global or Project Security Profile privilege that will prevent a user from changing the Project ID on an existing Project? We are using Primavera P6 EPPM 8.3.7

Hi,
Below project security profile may help you,

I am using MS XP Professional Ver. 2002 Service Pack 3. I have created a Limited User Account for my nephew because he tends to experiment and screw up the computer quite often. I would like to know if there is a way to prevent him from changing any setti

I am the System Administrator of my computer. I have managed to limit most of what my nephew can do via general Windows functions. However, I need to prevent him from changing his Firefox Options (listed under the Tools menu). He has already changed items that leave my computer vulnerable and although I've explained to him that he should not change anything in the Options area, he continues to do it. If there is not a way for me to prevent him from changing anything in Options, then I have no alternative than to prevent him from using the computer at all. I hope it doesn't come to that.

''"...although I've explained to him that he should not change anything in the Options area, he continues to do it. If there is not a way for me to prevent him from changing anything in Options, then I have no alternative than to prevent him from using the computer at all."''
Maybe taking away his privileges will could teach him a valuable lesson------respect other people's property!

How to prevent users from running PRC: Transaction Import from WebADI form?

Hi,
We are 12.1.3 and trying to create a workflow to approve Project transactions coming through web ADI before they become effective. To this end, we want to prevent users from running the PRC: Transaction Import from the Web ADI.
I know that if the checkbox Automatically run transaction import is not checked, the program does not run. But we want to hide this checkbox and not allow the possibility that the program could get triggered.
To this end, we updated the BNE_INTEGRATORS_B with source='C'. This allows you to edit the integrator from Desktop Integration Manager.
UPDATE BNE_INTEGRATORS_B SET SOURCE ='C' WHERE INTEGRATOR_CODE ='PAXTTRXB'
In the 4th step, where the value for Uploader Parameters is set, we have set boolean value to No. These are the fields on the page:
Parameter Name: bne:import
Display Name: Start Transaction Upload
Data Type: Boolean
Category: Field
Default Value: Boolean Flag: No
Description: start Transaction Import Concurrent Request
Display Options: Displayed: Unchecked
Display Options: Enabled: Checked
Display Options: Required: Checked
Prompt Left: Automatically submit Transaction import
Display Type: Check Box
Maximun Size: 100
Display Size:100
Now the checkbox is not appearing for the user to check it, But the program is automatically running when you hit Upload in the WebADI.

Hi ,
Try removing the PRC: Transaction Import Program from the request group for the responsibility used by customers to submit the WebADI and then check if the program launches.

Raghavan

Is there any way to prevent users from ship confirming on a particular date?

Hello All,
We have a requirement to prevent users from ship confirming on a particular date. This is due to they are performing Annual Physical Inventory.
Is it possible to restrict users performing shipping transactions on this particular date?
I have tried adding exception to the existing Calendar set at org level and there is no customer specific Calendar defined, however it is still allowing me to perform ship confirm.
Please let me know if you have any suggestion on this requirement.
Thanks

Hi,
Yes is Possible.
You can add An Exception in Your Shipping Calender.
So when Some one tries to ship an Order on that date Oracle will automatically select Next possible date.
Thanks

How to stop the users from changing the Decimal in SAP

How to stop the users from changing User Profile

Hai,
It is not possible to restrict SU3 to display, because it has only S_TCODE has the authorization object.
If you really want to restrict users from changing their profile you have to remove the SU3 access and give SU1 or SU2 which gives access only to Personnel details and Parameters.
Hope this helps.
