Multiple Contribute Admin Accounts

Hey,
I am trying to use Contribute to edit a Template file made in
Dreamweaver for an HTML email. I know its not the best way of doing
things, but all the office need to do is change the text, so its
working just fine except for CSS. I have found that some email
clients (like gmail or yahoo) do not support CSS formated text in
the email. I have also found that the only way to change what
Contribute uses (CSS or not) is with an Admin account. I have an
Admin account for the main site, but I do not want to disable CSS
for the main site. I only want to disable CSS for a sub folder
where I will store the HTML files. Right now I have a sub folder,
linked to an FTP user name and only allows them to upload to that
sub folder. That's where I am now.
So, all I need to know is how to create an Admin account for
only a sub folder. That way, I can use Contribute go into the Admin
Panel and disable CSS, but only for the sub folder. Thanks for any
help!

In the Standalone version BIP uses the same credentials to connect to the datasources, irrespective of the user logged in, hence I cannot think of how this restriction can be done, perhaps in a future release this may be supported.
In the BI publisher that comes embedded with systems, like JDEdwards, Siebel, etc The security is controlled by the user rights assigned to the user in the application BI Publisher is embedded with.
If your requirement is Binding, you may want to consider a different Instance of BIP for each exclusive datasource.

Multiple Lobby Admin on one WLC

Is it possible to have multiple lobby admin accounts on a wlc so each account can only create / delete guest users for a specific WLAN? For example, I have 2 WLAN's. Admin1 creates users for WLAN1 and Admin2 for WLAN2. Is there any way of restricting the lobby admin screen so each admin can only create an account for his / her own WLAN? I don't have WCS and was wondering if there is some command line option.
Thanks.

Hi, You can have multiple lobby admin accounts, but you cannot bind a lobby admin to a wlan.

I recently set up multiple accounts and when I was trying to figure out how to share files I messed up something in my documents. Everytime I open a doc from the ADMIN account, a box pops up that says "The file is not in the correct format" how to fix?

I recently set up multiple accounts on my imac, When I was trying to figure out how to share the documents I must have done something wrong. When logged into the Admin account, I open up any document and I get a message box that says, "The Document could not be opened. The file isn't in the correct format. The file might be corrupted, truncated, or in an unexpected format." What did I do and how do I fix it?

Without knowing what you did it is impossible to give advice on how to correct it.
If these were files you copied over from some other system then just Re-Copy them replacing the ones that are corrupted.
Other then that I suggest you Wipe the drive and start over with a clean reinstall of the OS and programs. Then if you want to share files to All Accounts place those files in a folder in the ROOT of the drive.

Cannot ping ibook with multiple admin accounts

i am trying to set up remote control across a LAN, and have had success with two iMac G5's controlled from my dual G5. the problem is that i can't connect to an iBook with exactly the same settings and firewall config.
in trying to troubleshoot, i have noticed that i can't ping the iBook, and the only thing i can think of that is different is that the iBook has two user accounts, both of which have admin privileges. could this be causing the problem?
if not, what else could i try? any suggestions, please?

I doubt very much that the problem is caused by having two user accounts with administrator privileges. I have several systems with multiple admin accounts and have never had them cause a problem with the network.
Since you can't even ping the iBook, that would seem to make it a problem with the OS or the network, not with Apple Remote Desktop, so you might have more luck getting suggestions if you ask in the networking forum in the appropriate Mac OS X area.
Good luck.

Should I have the same admin account name on multiple computers

Currently I have a Macbook with an admin account plus 2 user accounts. When get a 2nd macbook, should I use the same admin name on the 2nd computer? I was thinking of making all admin account names the same for multiple macbooks, time machine, network etc. Maybe it doesn't really matter and it just means remembering multiple login names and passwords. On a related question, should the same account name be used on multiple computers. This would create a home directory on each computer with the same name. Would it be best to keep seperate names? I am refering to computer accounts, not itunes or app store accounts.

It doesn't really matter, but my vote is for different Admin names and passwords and for different computer/disk names.
The first one is for increased security (if someone breaks your password on one, they won't have access to the other). The second one is to easilly distinguish the different macs and disks in a file sharing, network browsing and syncing situations.

Multiple Admin Accounts

Hi,
I've got one question regarding the administration of the BI Publisher,
can I have multiple admin accounts where the data sources are just available to a certain admin?
I just don't want that the admins can use the data sources of other admins or can see them.
Is that somehow possible?
BR
& thank you,
Lena

Multiple admin accounts, need to delete one of them ... what happens?

Ok, short story shorter - broke up with my GF and she has an account on my laptop.
She has saved all her stuff, so I'm not worried about loosing personal files/documents.
My question is though, what else may be lost that I should be careful of.
• Will programs be lost?
I installed Adobe Suite through her account, will that be removed as well? That's an application though, that I set for 'all users'.
• Will there be any change to system, or cause errors if that was the main Admin account?
By deleting an Admin that was in use 50% of the time, are there any system problems that may happen after I delete?
From what I remember, the system when I created another Admin account it just treated it as if someone just set up their MBP for the first time - ie. they seem to be completely independant.
Basically, I just want to make sure my experience (in my account) does not change once I've pressed the delete button.
Much thanks in advance.
-NTFW

Thanks andyBall_uk,
I can confirm that there are no files/data/passwords that I'm concerned about loosing on the account I want to delete.
*BUT, on the account I want to delete - I installed Adobe Illustrator/Photoshop.
These programs are usable on my account as well, I see them in my Application folder even though I only installed it once.
Are you saying it will delete Adobe Illustrator/Photoshop because it was installed on that Admin account?
Thanks very much for the help!

Admin account issues, even root can't resolve!

Ok, I've experienced the (seemingly common) issue where an administrator on our Macbook has somehow changed to a "standard" account. Since this was the only admin account it left me in a lurch.
I googled the issue and came up with this: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1278
So, off I went and enabled the root account to effect the fix and all seemed to go well in that regard. However, when I actually logged in as root I was still unable to switch any of the accounts to administrator level. Even trying to create a new account with admin level privileges ends up only creating another "standard" account.
I then noticed that even the root account itself doesn't seem to have administrator privileges but shows up as "standard user" - this is contributing to the issue perhaps?
I've tried logging in as another "standard" user, going to the account setup screen and then unlocking using the root account credentials and password (which OSX seems to accept and unlocks accordingly) but there STILL doesn't seem to be sufficient rights to actually upgrade a users account level - whenever I check the "Allow user to administrate this computer" checkbox on an account (and I've tried multiple ones including newly created accounts) it immediately unchecks itself when I navigate away from (and back to) the account in question.
No matter what I've tried I cannot get ANY account (even trying to create a new temporary one) back to administrator privileges.
Help!

the directory services entry for your admin group is corrupted and needs to be replaced. see this post by biovizier for a solution.

Setting up multiple e-mail accounts

I have iBook G4 using OS X. I've had it for over a year, but I've never set up multiple e-mail accounts, but now my kids are asking for their own e-mail addresses. There must be directions on how to do this somewhere, but I can't seem to find it. Any help in steering me in the right directions would be greatly appreciated.
Karen

Hello Karen.
You can create multiple email accounts with Mail with or without the same email account provider.
With the same provider is possible only if each account has its own user name.
You can create/access multiple email accounts that share the same incoming mail server and the same password as long as each account has its own user name.
An account's user name is usually the portion of the email address in front of the @ sign only but with some providers it is the entire email address.
Multiple email addresses with the same provider that share the same user name, incoming mail server and password as a primary email account are what is called an alias or aliases.
An alias email address to a primary account/address can be accessed with Mail under the primary account but not as a separate account with Mail.
If I haven't completely confused you, let me know.
I agree with Matt and strongly suggest/recommend that you don't allow your kids (regardless their age) or anyone else regular access to your Mac under your computer login admin account.

Can i have multiple apple id accounts on my imac?

Can i have multiple apple ID accounts on my iMac??

I have added a separate user account for each Apple ID, but the iMac decides to update software, it won't let you if it was downloaded under the other apple ID.
We are a business, we set up the macs for our faculty and staff, we install some basic stuff such as Microsoft Remote Desktop. iMac want's to update this but won't let the user (who has admin provleges) because it was installed throught he other account.
Hiw is this suppposed to work in a business environment?

Downloading and installing on admin account vs standard account

What is the difference for downloading and installing files when:
logged in on an admin account
logged in on a standard account (using the admin details when prompted)
I ask this, because when I am in my standard account, the downloaded files and installed applications are owned by the standard account. Does this affect how the files run on other standard accounts?

In other words, is it better to do all downloading and installing whilst logged into the admin account? The Ownership & Permissions is stopping me from doing this when logged in on my standard account. There are many other standard accounts, and I am concerned that my standard account will not be equal. This is because of the permissions issues outlined previously.
P.S. Sorry for the multiple posts. I can't find a way to edit the original post.

Net use map drive is working with built-in admin account only

I currently have a windows 7 PC that I use
net use in cmd file to map drive to Windows server 2008.
It works if I use built-in admin account/password but I've tried another account that's in the administrator group on the server and I get errors.
NET USE X: \\IPADD\c$\inetpub\ftproot password /User:adminuseraccount
NET USE X: \\IPADD\c$\inetpub\ftproot password /User:server\adminuseraccount
After tweaking the net use command a number of ways, the 2 following errors are what I'm getting for the most part:
System error 1219 has occurred.
Multiple connections to a server or shared resource by the same user, using more
than one user name, are not allowed. Disconnect all previous connections to the
server or shared resource and try again.
OR
System error 5 has occurred.
Access is denied.
I've looked at many searches on this but can't get this to work.
Also, one thing I'm thinking of doing is changing the built-in admin name and password. Is this a safe thing to do?
Thanks,
Dave

Managing multiple Office 365 accounts

Hi
Does anyone have a good solution to managing multiple Office 365/Exchange 365 accounts? I provide IT services to a number of small businesses, all unrelated and I am responsible for over 6 separate instances of Office 365 (mostly Exchange, a couple also
have sharepoint) for clients. I also use it myself (Exchange and Sharepoint).
My issue is that as soon as I log into a client admin portal, it removes my authentication to my own or other accounts and I cannot use my own sharepoint or Exchange online services. I can only be logged in to one. As all my business runs in Sharepoint and
Exchange, this is very annoying. Outlook is OK, its authentication doesn't change when I log in as someone else (Outlook Web Access does obviously). I never had this issue with BPOS, the SSO application kept my business systems online even when I logged into
a client portal but now that there is no SSO, I dont have this luxury. My IE homepages are all my Office 365 portal pages and if I log in as another client, they all log into the client next time.
I need an intermediate portal interface that allows me to store credentials for each client separately and allow me to log into multiple online services accounts without affecting other accounts. I often find myself needing to access 2-3 accounts at the
same time and have to use different browsers for each one (it is close but not quite 100% in Firefox or Chrome). Does such a system exist? Surely I am not alone in managing many accounts at the same time. I can run multiple powershell sessions independently
but I dont want to do everything through powershell all the time and cannot log in as the client to check things this way.
Regards
Ben

If you want to work on your computer with different office 365 accounts, you don't need to run different browsers!
Since IE8 there is a hidden function called "New Session". It works great for SharePoint Online and it works if you want to login with different credentials to you SharePoint OnPremise during testing. I love it!

Disabling private bowsing on admin account....

Hi. I leave my mac logged in to my account, but it is occasionally used by other people. I'd really prefer to remove the "private browsing" option from safari, but I want to leave it as an admin account.
any ideas?

Resetting admin account?

Hi there,
I have some trouble updating iTunes from the admin account I always use; it gets stuck with a spinning wheel while running iTunes preflight script. Creating a second, "virgin" admin account solves the problem but I'd rather stick with the old account name, ID and home directory. Other applications install well, by the way. Obviously, not installing correctly is connected with something wrong in my present admin account. Am I right with this? Is there any kind of account resetting procedure for that purpose?
Thanks,
Joe.

From your description there may be some bad preference files or third-party software conflicts or simply a need for some maintenance. The following may prove helpful.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now shutdown the computer for a couple of minutes and then restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger, and 4.1 for Leopard) and/or TechTool Pro (4.6.1 for Leopard) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.0 is now Intel Mac compatible. TechTool Pro provides additional repair options including file repair and recovery, system diagnostics, and disk defragmentation. TechTool Pro 4.6.1 is Leopard compatible; Drive Genius is similar to TechTool Pro in terms of the various repair services provided. The current version, 1.5.1, is Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep.
OS X automatically defrags files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems.
I would also recommend downloading the shareware utility TinkerTool System that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old logfiles and archives, clearing caches, etc.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the commandline. Note that presently AppleJack is not compatible with Leopard.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Retrospect Desktop (Commercial - not yet universal binary)
2. Synchronize! Pro X (Commercial)
3. Synk (Backup, Standard, or Pro)
4. Deja Vu (Shareware)
5. PsynchX 2.1.1 and RsyncX 2.1 (Freeware)
6. Carbon Copy Cloner (Freeware - 3.0 is a Universal Binary)
7. SuperDuper! (Commercial)
8. Data Backup (Commercial)
The following utilities can also be used for backup, but cannot create bootable clones:
1. Backup (requires a .Mac account with Apple both to get the software and to use it.)
2. Toast
3. Impression
4. arRSync
Apple's Backup is a full backup tool capable of also backing up across multiple media such as CD/DVD. However, it cannot create bootable backups. It is primarily an "archiving" utility as are the other two.
Impression and Toast are disk image based backups, only. Particularly useful if you need to backup to CD/DVD across multiple media.
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
Additional suggestions will be found in Mac Maintenance Quick Assist.
