More Non Admin launch problems.

Ok, current setup,
NW 5.1 SP8, Zen 3.2, Windows 2000/XP.
I have a non admin user that I am using as a testbed to get our apps working
without giving the users admin rights.
The workstatiions are imported into the NDS, and the test workstation is a
member of a workstation applicatiion group, which itself has a workstation
policy ascociated with it.
I have created a test application to test workstaion admin access, however,
when I ascociate this with the workstation group it doe not appear in NAL,
it does appear if I asociate it with the user but will not run, returning a
"The system cannot find the path specified (id=3)" error. I have checked
both the user and the workstation have read and filescan rights to the
application exe. If I do start->run from windows I can run the exe without
problems.
I have modified the launcher config for the OU in which the workstation
object resides to give it the following workstation related settings :
enable helper (ws) =yes
enable timed refresh(ws) =yes
read groups for apps(ws) =yes
watermark display property =default
set app inheritance(ws) =0
set refresh frequency =3600
Does anyone know what I may have missed/not configured or what might be the
problem here ?
Thanks.
Phill.

Create a simple app that runs as an "Unsecure System User" and launches
"CMD.EXE"
From the Command Prompt it opens, try to issue a "NET USE" command to try
and map to the AMOEBA server.
This will verify that the SYSTEM account actually has the rights it appears
that is should have.

Acrobat 7 requires admin password at every launch for non admin users?

acrobat 7 requires admin password at every launch for non admin users?
any one with a solution or similar problem?
thanks for any help.

I've been avidly following all of the threads regarding this issue...yet none of the solutions have worked for me. I've got 11 Mac users that do not use the Creative Suite..only Acrobat, Quark, etc. I've tried installing and re-installing through both Admin and User accounts, I've tried the AdobeBib XML change, I've tried enabling Root and installing, changing permission on the Acrobat folder, etc. all to no avail. I still get asked for Admin Authentication every time Acrobat and Distiller are opened (except on the Admin account side). This is happening on one particular Mac (G4, 1GB Ram, OS 10.4.3) for both Acrobat Standard 6 and 7 as well. The biggest issue that also happens in tandem with the Acrobat installs is the inability to print from Quark. I get the following error when printing: "The process "pictwpstops" terminated unexpectedly on signal 6." Because of the necessity to print Quark documents, I have uninstalled all Acrobat on the machines until we can get a fix. This resolves the printing problem with Quark. The only option left is to set up all users as Admin accounts - which I really do not want to do. Any other suggestions out there? I've got more information available if needed.

Lightroom 3 asks for serial number launching in non-admin account

The following information was provided by Carey Burgess (Adobe Employee):
Does Lightroom 3 launch and work fine in an admin account, but when you launch the application in a standard (i.e. non-admin) account it asks for a serial number?
If so, then it is likely due to a file permissions issue either in the original (admin) account or with the standard account.
(Although you need administrator access to install Lightroom, and you do need proper access permissions to your photos, you should be able to run Lightroom without issue in a standard user account.)
Lightroom 3 stores registration data (the serial number) in a file called Lightroom 3.0 Registration, which is stored by default in one of these locations:
    * Mac OS: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom
    * Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Lightroom
    * Windows 7/Vista: C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Lightroom
- Check for the registration file in the appropriate location for your system.
If the file does not exist in that location, then ensure you are logged in with the admin account (the one where Lightroom doesn't prompt for a serial number) and check the user-specific location instead:
    * Mac OS: /Users/YOUR USER NAME/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom
    * Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR USER NAME\Application Data\Adobe\Lightroom
    * Windows 7/Vista: C:\Users\YOUR USER NAME\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom
If the file exists in the user-specific location instead, then I would suggest that you ensure that you have quit Lightroom, and then move the registration file from the user location to the default system-wide location. Lightroom should now no longer prompt for serial number when you open it from a non-admin account.
If the registration file did (or now does) exist in the default system-wide location, but you are still being prompted to enter a serial number when opening Lightroom in a standard user account, then that account does not have sufficient access permission to the registration file.
To resolve this aspect, there are two possible solutions (the first being the recommended solution):
1. Change the access permissions on the Lightroom folder that contains the registration file to grant "Read" access for the standard user account. (You can do this for each account individually, or you can use a broader group like Everyone.)
For more information about changing permissions, see one of these articles:
    * Windows XP: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308419#4
    * Windows Vista/Windows 7: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/What-are-permissions
    * Mac OS: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/8342.html
2. Copy the registration file from the system-wide location to the user-specific location for the standard user account. (You would need to repeat this step for each standard user that needs access to Lightroom.)
Reply here if these steps do not resolve your issue, or if you have any questions.

Months ago, I had a routine clearout of old software boxes etc and chucked out my Lightroom 1.0 box. A couple of weeks ago I reinstalled Lion on my mac to find that I cannot register Lightroom. I have the 3.0 upgrade serial, the 2.0 upgrade serial, but the 1.0 was on the box..
I followed the instructions above to find the files in crashplan form before the fomat that hold the registration details. I have tried placing them in the location described, but it doesn't seem to work.
The serials (or something) are in the file, but given in the string that is difficult to decipher - and doesn't work in the registration screen, wrong size and a mix of letters and numbers rather than just numbers as my 3.0 serial is.
Any suggestions for what I could do? Could I send the strings in to Adobe to be deciphered? Perhaps move files around a bit more?
Thanks in advance,
Rog.

When will the Non-Admin problem be fixed?????

When will the problem of non-admin accounts not able to see all flash content on
web pages be addressed???

in addition to poor open GL performance, i've also had problems with any program utilizing antialiasing support. i recently sat down and called apple and had a discussion with their support line. while i didn't mention the poor open GL performance, i did mention the graphical errors i was experiencing with my MBP. i was told these issues are not normal, and have a replacment on the way. while these issues are some what numerous, i've not been able to find much more than a few articles or discussions on the topic. i'm hoping this means it is contained to a few MBPs and not all. we'll see when the replacment comes. if not, however, i'd consider a class action suit. the machine i bought was sold as a portable gaming machine, (apple.com/games/hardware) and thats not what i've gotten. i am very disappointed that apple has not even acknowledged the issue to let us know some fix is in the works. if enough of us make a big enough noise about it, perhaps we can get some sort of reply. i'd recommend you sending a note to apple as mentioned, then take some time to sit and give apple a call. they are very interested in listening to you, don't feel silly about calling about game perfromance, they are advertising these machines as such.

Whenever I launch firfox through non admin login, I get an alert message.

Whenever I open firefox through non admin login, I get following alert message. "Could not initialize the application's security component. The most likely cause is problems with files in your application's profile directory. Please check that this directory has no read/write restrictions and your hard disk is not full or close to full. It is recommended that you exit the application and fix the problem. If you continue to use this session, you might see incorrect application behaviour when accessing security features."
After this, firfox opens but whenever I go to any web page having secure connection like orkut, facebook etc. firefox crashes. It works normally through admin login.

Problems with libraries and plugins - non admin account

I''ve got a couple of problems with a fresh install of photoshop on my windows Windows 7 64 bits system.
1. Libraries panel does not work. It displays the following error and interaction is not possible:
2. 3rd party plugins would load their content.
3. In the Creative Cloud Application the apps tab would load and displays the "download error" message:
The funny thing is that all the above errors don't occur on the loacl admin account. So I think this might be a permission problem. I think the most easy sollution would be to work under the admin account, but sadly that's no option (company policy). I am able to extent the rights of the useraccount I work on, but I don't know in wich folders the software needs write permissions. The both Adobe folders in program files and program files (x86) I already changed to full acces for all users. Can someone please help me?

Problems with libraries and plugins - non admin account https://forums.adobe.com/people/pippyn%20stortelder
This is a permissions Error. The other accounts on the computer do have permissions to use / change the administrator settings of these particular items.
There are two ways you can fix this. 1.) contact the admin of the system and let him know your accounts need read access to these items
My Preferred method is:
If you are on a Windows Account, then you can choose those items to run in Administrator mode for all people. ( win7,64bit )
Right click the infinity system for creative cloud (creative cloud icon - you would normally click to start the program. (not the one in your service tray, but the one in your menu area with the square red on it.
choose/click on properties
choose/click compatibility (tab at the top of the window)
Last boxed option on this screen is: Run Program As Administrator, Click that check box.
Click on Change Settings for All Users
in the window that comes up again choose, put an X in the box- the last option, Run Program As Administrator - Click Apply
Click OK
Click OK and the opened preferences window should now be closed.
You should be able to simply invoke the Cloud app now. But you might want to reboot to safe.
Depending on the installation methods used for your add-ons, you may have to perform this same process for all add-ins. I believe that would depend on which account, first installed the add-on and what level of permissions they have.
Good Luck

Problems running TestStand 4.0 under non-admin account

I am having problems running TestStand 4.0 under a non-admin account under windows XP. I have done the following:
   1. Set full control protection to entire National Instrument directory
   2. tcverselext.exe was giving me problems until I changed it to run in window 95 compatability mode. Otherwise I get an "you do not have administrator priviliges to run this command" error. Don't know if this is the correct fic for this.
   3. Now when starting TestStand I get a "Retrieving COM class factory for component with CLSID {B2794EF6-C0B6-11D0-939C-0020AF68E893} - failed due to the following error: 80040154." error
Everything works fine as administrator.
Can anyone help me?
Don

The Version Selector needs to be run with Administrator Access. When you are running it in Windows 95 Compatability Mode, you are masking the problem. However, once you set the correct version of TestStand, you no longer need Administrator Access to use the Sequence Editor.

Does "Error 213:11" as non-admin go away once paid for?

After Roxio disappointed me for the last time, I tried trial versions of both Premiere Elements 11 and Premiere Pro 6.0.3. Both gave me similar problems when launched as a non-administrator on Windows 7 Pro. After initially launching either application with "Run as Administrator," presumably to get any initial post-setup setup done (yes I meant to say that), the application would launch precisely once as a non-admin, present me with a pop-up window with the Error 213:11 code, then exit. Subsequent launches would present me with the pop-up without actually launching.
If this is related to whatever copy protection Adobe uses, does this issue go away once the products are paid for?

Mine is from my wife's subscription to the Creative Cloud since we share a PC. So it is paid for. But I can't imagine that is the problem. It sounds more like a firewall issue is keeping the program from getting the permission it needs to run.
Edit: Scratch that last comment. I found the following page: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/error-store-does-not-allow.html
Edit: And this comment elsewhere:
I was able to solve this for my users, buy giving them full permisions for two locations:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe
and
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe

Non admin user - changes not saved (Safari settings, system prefs, etc.)

iMac, 2 users, one is administrator and other is standard user. Recently, in the non-admin user account, it has become impossible to make any changes. For example, adding an application to the the Dock, after logging out and back in next time, the application is not in the Dock any more. Also, making changes to the prefs in Safari, changes are not saved.
I noticed this after installing FireFox v4. I installed it as admin whilst in the non-admin users account. However, I don't believe that the installation of FF has anything to do with the problem, it just highlighted it. I've checked the permissions for the various directories that hold prefs info such as user/libraries/application prefs/etc. etc. and also Safari prefs. Nothing I can see that has changed in system prefs.
Any ideas on what has caused the problem (kids are known to fiddle from within the non-admin account) and any ideas on how to fix it?
Thanks

Hi PPRuNe,
You could try making the standard user an Admin too. To do this, make sure you are logged in to the standard user, go to System Preferences > Accounts > Standard user (you may have to unlock the padlock) > Allow user to administer this computer
This will allow changes to be made without being prompted for a password all the time.
However, if you had Parental Controls on, they probably won't work on an admin account because as an admin you have complete control over a computer, so the computer thinks there is no point in having the controls turned on. And if the kids are known to "fiddle," just think carefully!
Hope this helps you.
Chris.

Access to Resources via Non-admin accounts

Is there any way to provide access to resources so that they are accessible via
non-admin accounts. For e.g. to Retrieve my JMSConnectionfactory i do a
Environment env = new Environment();
env.setProviderUrl(url);
env.setSecurityPrincipal(username);
env.setSecurityCredentials(password);
Context ctx = env.getInitialContext();
The username and password here is the admin account. This works fine but if i
use a non-admin account(member of Operators group), i get exceptions on Domainloghandler
runtime
Problem: I need to register a mbean that needs to access JMS Resources. Since
our deployment team doesnt want to provide us access to admin accounts, we use
a "operators" group account to register our mbeans. if i do this, i get a
Access not Allowed for subject:principals=[operator, Operators], on ResourceType:
DomainLogHandlerRuntime Action: execute Target: registerToMe.
This happens when my managed resource tries to access a JMS ConnectionFactory.
Instead if i register my mbeans using the admin account, everything is fine and
my managed resource works nice.
This is on weblogic 81 SP1 on Solaris. Please let me know if you need more details.
Any clues/hints/solutions greatly appreciated. There is not a lot of documentation
on how to access/register mbeans using non-admin accounts.
TIA
Raj

I have done some more debugging on this and have narrowed down the issue to the
location where my initialcontext is being obtained.
so if i register my mbean as a non-admin account and do an operation on the managed
resource which fetches initial context, i get the below exception. This is how
i get my initialcontext
weblogic.jndi.Environment env = new weblogic.jndi.Environment();
env.setProviderURL("t3://machine:8102,machine:8103");
env.setSecurityPrincipal("operator");
env.setSecurityCredentials("operator");
Context ctx = env.getInitialContext();
I am doing this from a mbean thats registered on a different managed server(t3://machine:8101)...
Whats wrong with this?
TIA

X-Fi Mode Switcher won't work in XP non-admin accou

I have installed X-Fi extreme music on my WinXP SP2 machine. Both audio console and the graphical console launcher/mode-switcher won't work properly in non-admin accounts. It will be "stuck" in one mode and whatever I do, it refuses to change to another mode.
Both work fine when I use the admin account. Please help. Thanks in advance.

Unfortunatly Im a greedy cuss and won't share my computer with anyone so I'm running in more or less Admin 24/7 and not ran into the issue. I think there is a setting in XP that you can change that will allow non-admins to make changes to the system. You might check User settings for the account in the "User Accounts" in control panel. Will see if I can find some info on it for you but you can also check MS Knowledgebase.

Installing apps from non-admin account

I read an earlier post that installing apps from a non-admin account is a bad idea because SL applies the wrong permissions. I normally install from a non-admin account.... I don't see that the permissions on stuff I've installed are any different from apps that came with SL. Most everything is drwxr-xr-x. Was this fixed, or am I missing the problem.

+"That isn't a problem at all. Applications should not require that the user have write+

I didn't say anything about a user having write access permission, I was talking about read
permissions. All apps installed in the /Applications directory should have group permissions
set to admin or wheel (depending on the type of app), so the system can read them without
problems. That's the Unix way.
I completely disagee. The system already has read permission to all applications in the /Applications folder. It doesn't matter what the group privilege is set to. The "other" permissions are set to read only. System (root) can read it regardless. If you can show me an Apple tech article that says that apps installed in the /Applications folder should have their group privilege changed to "admin" or "wheel" then I would gladly take that back.
+"Leopard does not put any ACLs on anything installed in the /Applications folder"+
That's right, it doesn't normally, but if it finds an app that it does not have permission
to read, it will assign an ACE(s) to it so that it can access it.
I just tested that in 10.5.8, and it does not happen as you say. I can't try it in 10.6. I'd appreciate if you could provide a specific example where you can make this happen.
Besides, all users, by default, have read only access to all applications. Unless a user specifically changes permissions on an app to deny read access to everyone, then this isn't an issue.

I know what ACLs are and how they work. I have read through those and cannot find in any of those threads anything about what you had been talking about.
+"That is also false. Root rights are granted by the user entering the admin username+

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2963
"Application installers, Applications folder
A third-party application installer incorrectly sets permissions on the files it installs,
or even the entire Applications folder. Symptoms of the Application folder's permissions
being set incorrectly include applications appearing in the dock as question marks, and/or
not being able to connect to the Internet. It is also possible that software installed while
logged in as one user will be inaccessible when logged in as another. To avoid this, make sure
you are logged in with your normal user account when installing software that you wish to use
with that account."
That has to do with third party installer apps that developers have not written properly to conform to OS X standards. It isn't an issue with applications that install by drag-and-drop. It sounds to me like you have looked at the permissions that Apple has put on its own apps and jumped to the conclusion that third party apps won't work unless they have the exact same permissions applied to them. That simply isn't true.
"Software access=user access
Most applications executed by a user only have access to the files that the user has access to.
Backup software, for example, may not back up Mac OS X system files that have root ownership."
Utilities, especially disk utilities, are to be installed in the /Applications/Utilities folder, for reasons
stated above.
No. That is completely wrong. Like I said earlier, an application is given root permission by user authentication. It matters not one little bit what the application's enclosing folder is. I personally have no third party apps in /Applications/Utilities; just what Apple puts there as part of a standard OS X installation.
More permission tips:
http://www.bombich.com/mactips/image.html
http://mostlyslow.blogspot.com/2009/04/technical-mac-os-x-permissions-issues.htm l
Have you even read those? I suggest that you do; because most of what you have written about how file/folder/application permissions in OS X is completely wrong.

Can't run programs from non-admin account

I'm new to the Mac and rusty with -- but not new to -- UNIX. I'm working with an iMac running OS X 10.2. I have installed several programs in a non-admin account (called "boys"), but they will not run from that account. The "get info" screen tells me that the "boys" account is the owner of the program. Read/write permission is enabled. When I try to run the programs, I get this error message: "The operation could not be completed because you do not have enough access privileges." I have installed the same programs in an admin account, and the programs run just fine from that account. I'd like to get this working so that the boys in the "boys" account can actually use the system. I have "inherited" this system from prior users. Programs that were on the system when I got my hands on it do run -- for the most part -- from "boys."
iMac Mac OS X (10.2.x)
iMac Mac OS X (10.2.x)

Thanks for the reply, Ken. My various unsuccessful attempts to solve this problem led me to create a folder named "Programs." (I know, my PC roots are showing.) I did this for two reasons: 1) I hoped that this would give me more control over what was happening; and 2) I wanted to give the children with whom I am working an easy way to find the programs that I want them to use. When I use < cd /users/boys > and then do an ls- l, I see the Programs folder. An ls -l on that folder shows all the program I have loaded and indicates that the "x" permission is applied to owner, group and others. Moreover, I assumed (incorrectly, perhaps) that installing the programs using the "boys" non-admin account would make them the "owner" of the programs and that "x" permission would follow. Well, ls -l indicates that they are the owners and that they do have execute permission. I can only guess that the prior users of this system -- and nobody in this organization seems to know where they are -- did something that requires more than Advil to overcome.

Premiere cs6 slowed significantly after creating a non-admin user on win7

hi
ok so here is my problem
i have a computer on work operating win7 x64 sp1 and i installed cs6 master collection on it and it was working fine. recently and in order to avoid unwanted installed programs on the machine "namly games" we created a normal user account without any admin privilage. what i noticed later while cpu usage itself was at less than 10% on the meter the program itself "premiere pro cs6) suffered greatly, several crashes, sudden error messages that was resolved by simply restarting the program, the rendering and exporting time slowed dramatically either
my question is this....although i am 50% sure that the user account has nothing to do with this bizzare behavior is it possible that the normal non-admin account on the win7 IS the culprit?..or the reason is something else entirely?
thank you all in advance
P.S. (the computer specs are cpu:i7 extreme with 16 gb of RAM, and an intel SSD HDD also my graphic card is geforce GTX 680)
also i tried the software on other computers and i noticed only the locked users suffers somewhat the same problem while my own pc which is a full admin user pc fared extremely well........which baffled me more since user account shouldnt effect the programs at all.......right?

Not only does PPro require full admin account, there are some instances (mostly Encore) where you need to take an added step
As well as the below, right click the program icon and select Run as Administrator, which is NOT the same thing as running the computer with the Administrator account, and which fixes several "odd" problems... To create a two layer DVD (or a BluRay?), you MUST have Encore set to use the Run as Administrator option
