Is there a list of rights that /etc/authorization can contain?

I'm attempting to grant some laptop users more control over basic features of the system (energy saver, setting the clock, etc.).
I had been granting them the system.preferences right, as that's the only relevant one contained within the default /etc/authorization file, however recently I spotted this kb article which instructs the reader to introduce a NEW right into the file, namely system.preferences.dateandtime.changetimezone
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA23576?viewlocale=en_US
I would STRONGLY prefer to grant access only to those rights the users need, and NOT grant rights to preference panels which they shouldn't be monkeying with (FileVault).
I have tried to find a list of the rights which can be granted in /etc/authorization but I can not find any.

I'm not sure if this will help. But here it is anyway.

  • Is there a list of projectors that work well with Mbp 15?

    Is there a list of projectors that will work well with the MBP 15 ?

    No, because almost every projector will work as well with a MB Pro as with any other computer, when the same connection protocol is used.

  • If i have one iPad and I want all the apps that are there how do I copy that so i can have them on another iPad the same way as i have them on the first iPad?

    If you want both iPad to be identical .....
    Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
    Now connect your iPad to your Mac and start iTunes.
    When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases.
    After it finishes transferring all your apps to the Mac, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
    Sync the iPad and eject it when it is complete.
    Quit iTunes
    Connect the second iPad.
    Launch iTunes
    Right click on the iPad name on the left side and select - Restore from Backup
    Select the backup of the first iPad and let it restore from that backup.
    When it finishes restoring - sync with iTunes to transfer all of the apps and any other content that you want onto that iPad
    Eject the iPad when you are done.
    Check the second iPad and if all of the content did not sync as you wanted - or you want to remove some of the content - connect it again and then choose the content that you want - uncheck what you do not want - and click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes.

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network      
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Is there a list of global vars somewhere i can access in apex

    is there a list of global vars somewhere i can access in apex
    also can i have the http address in a var in apex

    Hi,
    See the section on Substitution Strings here: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10513_01/doc/appdev.310/e10499/index.htm#S - this details the available global variables (eg, APP_USER).
    You can define your own substitution strings - these are set on the Shared Components, Definition page - so you could put your url in there. There are other methods as well, such as Application Items or a SQL table (which may be better if you need to get the url value outside of an application)

  • Is there a free Keynote Reader that non-owners can use to view?

    Is there a free *Keynote Reader* that non-owners can use to view Keynote presentations without having to convert into PowerPoint?

    For Windows users, no.
    For Mac users, anyone can download the iWork trial and view a .key file. Even after the trial is up, you can still open and playback .key files.

  • Is there a list of applications that support 'versions' in Lion?

    Has anyone found or compiled a list of applications that support versions in Lion? It'd be helpful to know before purchasing new software and having to wait for replies from each software developer. I've seen the roaring apps list, but it doesn't get detailed enough.

    I'm a developer for an app sold on the Mac App store, so I can assure you that supporting Versions is not that big of a deal. The biggest problem for me was making my app play nice inside the Browse Versions interface.
    The real issue is testing the app under Lion AND back on Snow Leopard to make sure you dont break something on Snow Leopard. There is also an app upgrade review and approval cycle done by Apple for products sold on the App Store. My gut feel is that the review staff is being flooded right now with application updates for Lion by virtually all of the products on the App store.
    I do remember that Snow Leopard broke things too when it went live. (But then Apple has done at least 8 updates to Snow Leopard after it was released.)
    By the way, the old way of saving works just fine for apps that dont yet support Versions.
    Versions does take a bit to get used to. It is a paradigm shift from the way apps are saved over the last several
    decades.
    Apps that require custome hardware and custom device drivers will most likely be the last to convert to Lion. Years ago I was a ProTools user and they took over 6 months after Tiger was released to release a compatible upgrade (and they charged a lot of money for it too).
    The vast majority of apps dont fall into that category. They just have to do a ton of testing, which takes time.

  • Is there a list of words that is not allowed here?

    I reckon it is completely unnecessary and plain rediculous to not be able to use the word "s h i t" in this forum.
    I reckon this message,in red letters,.,"Your message contains profanity or inappropriate language. In the interests of your fellow forum users, we would ask you to amend your message."., is insulting to my adult intelligence because this little very well used term is an every day word used by billions of people to just describe a variety of things.
    I didn't use it to abuse anyone
    Is there a complete list of words that we are not allowed to type in here.

    I have just noticed that a moderator now looks at everything I post. I see this warning message every time. Or more appropriately, I see it as a veiled threat that my every move is being watched by a secret mob of censorship coppers.
    """The message to be posted may contain inappropriate terms or language. This message will need to be approved by a moderator before it will be posted in the forum. For more information please refer to "Help" on the menu bar."""
    I don't need HELP

    I really don't give a stuff about that.
    It's just that all this childish censorship is frustrating as it makes it hard to just be normal.

    When you are in the iTunes store on your computer, in the movies section. Under the quick links there is a section for that. Had a quick look and couldn't see via Apple TV but it does show up in the iTunes app so if you own an IOS device you can see it there as well.

  • Is there a list of games that work with Airplay?

    I'm deciding if I want to buy an Apple TV or not. I'd mainly use it for the Airplay feature so I could use my phone as a controller and have a big screen for games without having to get an iPad. However, I don't know what the limits are on what games work and which don't.
    To be honest, two of the biggest games I want to play are Deus Ex: The Fall and Mass Effect: Infiltrator.

    I am, but I don't see where it'd say that. There's no simple check box and it doesn't say in the actual text description. There's gotta be SOME WAY to know before buying the app and an apple TV. That's $110 to just know.

  • Is there a list of "Not Allowed" characters in BW

    Hi,
    We have a business need where in the transaction description would be entered in different languages, also this transaction language is a free text and hence user can copy and paste any character into description field in the text box, in BI, i am loading this description in an InfoObject called 0CRM_DESCR and is lower case enabled. the load fails if any special characters like #, tab, cartrige return and any unprintable characters comes into BI. is there any list of characters that are "NOT ALLOWED" in BI, i just need a code which ignores only those characters that are not allowed in BI. RSKC is already confirgured to allow foreign languages. if i use the below code provided in Note 173241
    <Z1> !"%&''()*+,-./:;<=>?_0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz</> then its applicable only for english.
    Hence i just need to know is these any list of characters that are not allowed in BI and for those the Cube load would fail. so that i can just write a routine to remove only those characters and load the rest
    Thanks
    Akila. R

    HI,
    You should only " ALL_CAPITAL" or "ALL_CAPITAL_PLUS_HEX"  in RSKC and remove all others.  There is a function module which has list of ASCII codes that will be allowed to store it in BW.
    Some invalid chars you can't see it in field. So i would prefer to write routine to remove all invalid char with either "space" or specific letter which your business is comfortable.
    And your code should convert each letter of field to ASCII and can cross check the permitted char in that fucntion module. This code should be only place if field is manual entry at CRM and free text and used by all regions. It may slow down your data loading performance.
    There are lot of blogs available in SDN, please search and sure you will get solution with code.

  • I have huge lag with Safari's Reading List using a rMBP. I have probably 80 articles saved, which is likely the cause of the lag. Is there any way to export that list of articles so as to be able to delete them from Reading List but still have a record?

    I have huge lag with Safari's Reading List using a rMBP. I have probably 80 articles saved, which is likely the cause of the lag. Is there any way to export that list of articles so as to be able to delete them from Reading List but still have a record of the articles I intend to read?

    I'm currently dealing with this issue myself, except that my rMBP has NO articles in the reading list.  It's a brand new rMBP too, purchased just this week, with the 2.6 Ghz Processor & 16GB of RAM.
    Let's see what we can find.  I may just take it back to the Apple Store.
