Things like play counts, rating, date last played, etc. are not stored in the song itself but instead are stored in your iTunes database file. Therefore locking down the track will keep people from being able to change things like the name of the song, year, artist, etc. but will not prevent iTunes from updating the database for things like ratings and last played.

Can't copy files from NTFS volume with Read Only permissions?

I am trying to copy files from an NTFS volume used previously for Windows onto another volume which is Mac OS X Extended...
However, certain files fail to copy due to the fact that I 'don't have permission to access some of the items'...
So I found the items which are causing the issue and viewed the permissions for them which display as 'You can only read'... I presume I am correct taking these as read-only permissions which (to my knowledge) should allow the files/folders to be copied accross to a new volume assuming that the existing volume is left without any changes attempted.
So can anyone suggest to me why this is? And how I might rectify the issue?
Thanks in advance

Ok I've just worked out that 'You can only read' is referring to the fact that I can only view permissions but not add any. Below this statement, no permissions are listed which may explain why I cannot access the files but does not explain why I can copy/access some files, also with no permissions...

DI API - accessing objects with Read only permissions

Scenario: I have setup a user in B1 with "Read Only permissions" on the Business Partner. When I log into the DI API as this user and try instantiating the BP object, I get a message "Loged on user does not have permissions".
Why am I getting this? Shouldnt I be able to instantiate the object and read the property values. i understand that I cannot Add or Update because of read only permissions.
Is there a way we can retreive values for users using the DI API or should the best option be to write a SQL statement.
Thanks,
Gopal

Requiring the user to have full authorization to instantiate an object is a serious limitation for the DI API. It makes it virtually useless. After all it is supposed to be OOP and all the trimmings isnt it? It also takes a lot of control away from the user.

Hi,
I have confirmation from B1 product definition, the DI API access for objects with Read only permissions will not be included in the 2007A version. It will be considered for the following version after 2007A.
There is a chapter called "Authorization Checks" in the SDK Help file specifying:
"SAP Business One performs authorization checks for the business objects and the infrastructure and meta data objects. If a user does not have full authorization to access the objects in SAP Business One, the user will not have permission to access the data belonging to the business objects using the DI API."

Files copied from other PC getting "read only" permissions

I have a PC running Fedora and Samba and when I drag a folder from the Finder onto my desktop it gets "Read Only" permissions. I cant remember that this happened with 10.5.1 or Tiger.
Anyone having the same problem or know how to fix it?

Try clicking "File>Get info" on the file, and look at it's permissions. Clicking the lock lets you change them, providing you have the right credentials.

Read only permissions

one of my testing team requested for read only permissions on database, so what are the permissions that i can grant to them. Just to see the database tables .....

Well depending on how often you expect this type of request to come up people often create a role to handle the grants.
Two things to consider.
1. Do you care that they can access any table on the database...that includes the system tables?
If not then you can grant them create session and select any table.
However, I find this to extreme at times, but often the "easy" way out.
2. You can grant them select on only that tables you will them to be able to read.
grant select on owner.table_name to user_name;
and of course the create session privilege.
Now people often find this to be a pain because for each new table they have to grant the select again. However, you can probably search google or create your own script that selects the table name from dba_tables and have it create all the grant lines in another script that you can run. Something like
set pagesize 0
set linesize 200
set echo off
set feedback off
spool /tmp/grantsql.sql
select 'grant select on '||&tableOwner||'.'||table_name||' to '||&grantingTo||';' from dba_tables where owner='&tableOwner';
spool off
set echo on
set feedback on
@/tmp/grantsql.sql

Read Only Permissions Error

Hi Guys
I have a major problem with file saving permissions
Current setup:
- 5 imac (10.6)
- 1 mac book pro (10.6)
- mac xserver
- Direct attached Raid Array
Issue:
When user "A" creates new files and folders to the shared drive on the raid array it automatically defaults to read only for all other users, and any time they try to add/delete/create files or folders in the fold user "A" created they get a permissions error. Therefor everybody else cannot edit the files
E.g. user A and user B quite often work on documents together and when user A stores it in the folder user A created then user B can only read it
has anybody come across this error before?
also i have tried changing permissions in get info as it defaults to read only soon as i change it to read and write and close the get info box it reverts back to read only ( the permissions group in called everybody)
Any help would be much appreciated

You can try propagating the permissions on the root of the share, new files should inherit permissions from the parent folder, if that doesn't help, maybe try something with the umask

Read only permissions as an Admin & force ejection of osx disk; Other disk?

I have had problems with permissions on my computer for about 2 years now. In the past two years, I've reinstalled my OS about 10 times. In the past month, though, the problems have escalated. I can no longer burn my files to disk successfully because the disk is always ejected before the process can complete. This happened on occasion in the past, but now it happens every time.
I had an external biometric hard drive which I used to back up my files, but after about 10 months of use, it stopped working. I ordered a new one and sent the old one in for repair, but all of my backups were gone.
When I got the new one - it is smaller and more portable, which is a plus, it had already been formatted. I tried to reformat, but within minutes I had no control over my settings and even though I am listed as the only user, I had read only permission for the new drive and had no ability to change any system preferences.
Time to start from the Snow Leopard disk and try to repair permissions, etc. Did repair permissions and reset the permissions under the "Change Password" window in Utilities. When I tried to startup again, I only got a blue screen.
I have a firmware password, so when my drive wouldn't start, I tried again with the option key down and the startup disk in the optical drive - only to find it force ejected over an over. Then I noticed that not only were my two volumes visible, but another Network Server was fading in and out. Currently, my network was unplugged and I have never connected to an external server. Again, I should be the only user on my system.
I have returned the newest hard drive in exchange for a new one, but am uncertain of what to do now if I am unable to reinstall the OS. I have posted the photos I took with my iPhone to show the screen with the three volumes visible and will post the link shortly. Please help!

Image of the screen can be seen here: http://gallery.me.com/iphone/asrodrig1/100033#0

External WD Hard Drive suddenly Read only - Permissions Issue and Error 50

After completing a recent OS update, I noticed my WD, External HD was no longer accessible. When trying the run a backup, via Time Machine, I would see the following error: "Time Machine Error. The backup volume is read only." If I tried the open the back up drive to see individual files, I would receive an error suggesting I did not have sufficient privileges to access the drive. Apple tech. support suggested I lot into my computer as the "root" user. Once I did this, I still received the Time Machine error, but, could open the Back Up drive in Finder and access files. It was still impossible to add files to the back up drive, but, at least they're accessible. Lastly, I would click the "Get Info"option for the backup drive. Once in the Info window, I would choose the sharing and Permissions tab. All privileges are set to "Custom". When I try to change them to "Read/Write" I see the following error, "The Operation could not be completed. An expected error occurred (error code -50). The tech. Apple tech. support rep. was stumped. Any ideas? Thanks so much.

Your backups may be corrupted.

Error when mapping drive with read only permissions - unc path works fine

Hello,
we have user shares that we map to drive H:. the shares are in the form \\server\user\<loginname>. The shares have full permission and the files and folders have full permission for the user. To be clear, the shared folder is \\server\user. <loginname>
are several folders, one for each user.
We use a vb script to check if a user stores too much data and if yes, we set the permissions for the user to read only and delete (with icacls).
Unfortunately, it this happens, we cannot map the drive anymore on Windows 7 (on Windows XP it works fine). The error is "Permission denied". Interestingly, the user can still open the share with the unc - path.
Is there anything I can do, so that the user still has his drive mapped? Most user are not tech savvy enough to open their share with the unc - path.
Thank You,
Peter

Hi Peter,
Sorry for the delay in reply.
Please disable User Account Control in windows 7 to see if you can see the map drive. In the meantime, I suggest to use GPP instead of logon script to map drive.

InDesign lock files, read only permissions...

I've had this strange problem for over a year now, unsure as to why it was happening. Now I've realized what the problem is, but I don't know how to fix it.
We build ads in InDesign. Production, who builds the ads, has basically full control to the ads network drive. Sales, on the other hand, has only read access. They want to print ads out on occasion, but I don't want them to be able to screw the ad up by mistake (they know just enough to get the ad to print).
Here's the problem...
Someone one sales opens an ad. Well, they don't have create or write permissions (Win 2003 server, XP workstations). So the InDesign lock file is never created. But they do obtain a read lock on the file on a Windows/OS level.
So what happens is, the production staff opens the ad while the sales person opens the ad. There's no lock file, so the production person isn't warned that the file is open. But because there's an OS lock on the ad, the ad opens for the production staff, but it opens as read only.
My first problem is that I don't know how to fix this without giving our sales people full access, which I cannot do. The second problem is that any app that happens to access those files (shadow copy perhaps???) will cause the same headache for the production staff, as there is contention to the file.
So I'm in a catch-22 here. I'm wondering if any of you have been in the same boat and know if there is a work around.
We're using InDesign 3 (CS) on XP.

Or export to PDF every time the ad is updated, and only give them access to the PDFs through Reader - keep them away from InDesign completely. If you are only giving them InDesign to view ads, you could save money on unnecessary InDesign licenses.

Read-Only Permissions for Everyone?

We're running xServe / Tiger 10.4.11.
We're using ACLs and have all users in a group with Read / Write Permissions. Across the board, no matter who creates a new document or directory, anytime a new file is created it's permissions are Read-Only for everyone except the author.
I've checked the permissions in the ACL and everything is set to Read / Write. So why are the permissions defaulting to Read-Only?

Hi,
You could have a look at the thread below. Lucas used ProcMon that shows an access denied with the user which he was using. Permission via group wasn't enough. Give your user full share/security access and everything works fine.

Sharepoint Permissions Application user with read only permissions

Friends,
I am trying to create a separate permission Group for an Executive(Department) Team who can access all the documents and lists in the portal with only read permissions because they need to see all the documents and lists in the libraries.
I can add them in to SP_Application_User group but i don't want them to edit the documents.
If i create a new group and set a separate permission level with read only setting, they cannot access all the documents in the document libraries and lists because some of the document libraries and lists have separate permission which overrided parent permissions.
Hope i will get help from any of you.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Chakri

Hi,
For your issue, you could add the users to Central Administration > Application Management > Policy for Web Application and grant Full Read permissions.
With the configuration, these users have Read permission to the whole web application.

Itunes Read Only

Hi,
I am trying to import my Itunes library from my old computer onto my new laptop. I perform a restore from dvd which all goes well, but when I shutdown Itunes and reopen it again everything is gone. A check of the windows folders shows that all of the music is in the correct folders, but Itunes won't display any of it. The Itunes interface is the same as when I first installed it. Its like it is read only somehow, excpet that I know it has loaded the music onto the hardrive ?
I even tried turning on Genius, which worked ok, but again when I shut Itunes down and reopened it Genius was off again.
Anyone know what might be happening ? Is Vista somehow not letting me update the Itunes files?
Thanks
Anyone

Welcome to AD!
I don't think it's Vista. I suspect it is some Vaio software like other Vaio owners have discovered, seems to deliberately erase the itunes library file.
Here is an older topic on that, set your AD display options to threaded and read most of the posts that explain different ways to get around it.
