Multiple users sharing one set of ARD preferences

I need to be able to have multiple users share a common set of ARD preferences which are stored in a central location. Is this possible with ARD? If so is there a difinitive description on how to do this?
All users will be using MacOs 10.9.2 and ARD version 3.7.1

Can you tell that I'm frustrated by a lack of documentation; I risk losing your kind support in my early
foray into Apex (help a drowning man please :-)
Thanks again in advance
Mungo :-)Its important to remember that Apex is nothing other than a framework for creating HTML and running web pages. So what used to be triggers are now standard javascript events. Although you will find help on the forum for javascript and maybe some in the documentation, javascript events are standard and not proprietary like Forms triggers were. Its frustrating, but there are a TON of resources (google) on the basics of javascript. For instance instead of when-validate-trigger, you'll probably look at the onblur event to trigger a piece of javascript code to run your validation. You can use onfocus which would be sort of like when-new-item-instance in Forms-speak.

  • Multiple users sharing one itunes library

    i have multiple users on my mac, but i'd like us all to be able to access the same itunes library. when i go to itunes prefs on one of the other users accounts and redirect their music library to my folder, it says it is doing it, but itunes still goes to their own music folder instead of mine. i can share my library with the sharing pref, but while they can now listen to my music, they still can't use it in imovie. is there any easy way around this problem??
    thanks for your help.

    I wrote a simple shell script that executes each time a user logs in (well, actually, each time I log in, coz' it's not really applicable to other users). It syncs my work and home addressbooks and iCal calendars to one another.
    I named it "sync". Then I read somewhere that if you wanted to make it double-clickable (to launch it from the Finder), I appended a ".command" filename extension (so it's now named "sync.command"). I also did a chmod 755 to that file so that it had execute privileges. Depending on whether you give each user their own copy of this thing, or keep a single copy in, say, the /Users/Shared directory, you may have to play around with chmod. Whatever, just so long as the user that has just logged in has execute permissions to the file, and to the entire path to the file, you should be good.
    Then, in SysPrefs > Accounts > Login Items, I added that "sync.command" file to the list. So, really the only difference is I'm not wrapping mine inside an Automator script like you are.
    I had tried adding it to ~/Library/LaunchAgents and make a launchd plist for it, that would kick it off at login. But I didn't get that to work. Don't know why. But just adding the double-clickable executable unix script to the Login Items list did the trick. Whether the plist has to hang out there with it, I don't know. I still have it there, though, in case I ever get motivated to figure out what's wrong with my launchd plist file. So, if just adding it to the Login Items list doesn't do it for you, you could try making a (functional?) launchd plist for it and plopping them both in ~/Library/LaunchAgents, too. That's how I am now, and, like I said, it launches at user login as that user's process (not as a root process like the above referenced article said how login hooks worked -- although, you may want it to run as root since you want this to work with multiple users...in which case, you might want to listen to Cole and not me...).

  • Quick Q: multiple users sharing one library - which pref's to check ...

    I recently picked up a new Mac ... it had been a long time since I set up the accounts to all users could share the same itunes library. Now, I have the library in a central location, all users have THEIR OWN playlists, and all are accessing the music fine. Question I have is whether to check "Keep iTunes ƒ Organized" and "Copy Files to iTunes ƒ ... ." The "main" user has both checked. The other users only have Copy Files to iTunes ƒ ..." checked. Is this correct?
    Reason I ask is iTunes seems to be doing a lot of copying / dealing with album artwork after doing an "Add to library" update.
    Thanks in advance.

    i use my files from a central hard drive and I don't check keep copies because I don't want it, needs it, require it...it wastes lots of hard drive space.

  • Multiple Users sharing one Table

    Hi Folks,
    I'm a newbie with Apex so please treat gently ;-)
    Simple "order entry" application: a table for Orders and another table for Order Items. All pretty run of the mill so far,
    but instead of one end user (say the vendor company's telephone operator) typing in orders over the telephone for
    several customers, consider opening the application to the several customers so that they can type their own orders
    themselves.
    The collection of Customers isn't that large (say about 12 or so), hence I'm thinking of just giving them distinct Apex logins
    to the application.
    I can pickup the login name from APP_USER, but how to copy this in behind the scenes to "customerID" in the Orders
    table - the "customerID" field does represent a column in a database table, but I want to force it to the Apex login name
    for whatever customer that is attempting to insert a new order.
    All the Apex demo stuff shows simple order-items solutions; I'm trying to have a single Orders table with a column in it that tells
    me which customer sent in this order, and for the customers using this table to only see their own orders from the same table.
    If I was implementing this on the database I would use some sort of View such as "select * from orders where customer = user",
    therefore every user would only see their bit of the orders table.
    But how to implement this in Apex?
    Suggestions and comments gratefully welcomed,
    Thanks in advance

    Working on a single computer with multiple users, I have set things up to allow each user to view and listen to the others' music libraries under the "Shared Library" function.  Can you then connect an iPod touch and copy music from a shared library?

    Was your wife logged into the libray at the time you tried to log in? I have had a similar problem and it was because another user was logged into the library when I attempted to. I got the permission denied banner.

  • How to set up multiple users on one MAC

    OK, new user here.  Two users sharing one machine and trying to keep contacts, iTunes, etc. happy as we have our own separate data.
    Suggestions?

    Create two separate user accounts. One account for each user. See Mac OS X 10.7 Help- Create a new user or group account.

  • How can I have multiple users on one apple id?

    How can I have multiple users on one apple ID?
    ie: I have my apple ID with my own credit, how can I set up credit for my son under the same apple ID, so that he can still access the same apps I've already downloaded and paid for?

    I've been trying to figure out a clean way to do this too. I think you may need more than one Apple ID – one that is shared and used to purchase "sharable" items and then "individual" Apple IDs for you and your son. That's the idea that I'm pursuing for the moment.
    It seems that there must be a way to do this, App Store purchases for the Mac are licensed across multiple machines. iPhone app purchases have "all your devices" licensing. Makes me think that Apple has a process in mind for sharing an account (or associating a device with multiple accounts).
    Other things I've learned:
    - Apparently you can't merge Apple ID accounts. I asked about this once at an Apple Store and was told that there was no way to do it.
    - If you share an Apple ID the Messages app behaves in a somewhat surprising manner. It must use your Apple ID to decide where messages should be sent because all users get all messages. This can make it very hard to organize a surprise party :-)

  • Can you have multiple users for one account?

    Can you have multiple users for one account? if so how do you set it up.
    We are using it for our department and it would be great to see who created what form instead of it being all one name.

    Each person should have their own account. You can easily share the forms with other people in your department. You will be able to see who the author of the form is.

  • Allowing multiple users on one Skype ID

    I was wondering if allowing multiple users online one Skype ID is possible, I currently run a small business, where the majority of the customers use skype just for text chatting, not the call features.
    I was looking to hire employees, but use the same skype thats associated with my current reputation. It also helps when I get return customers, since it'll be available to all workers.
    The last 2 times I tried setting this up, my skype got locked, and I wouldn't be able to afford for it to get locked.
    I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions about the feasibility of this.

    Being doing this idea for years and really was hoping for more development.
    Bottomline when a call comes in and either I answer the call or let my staff answer the call. Then later i can see what happened.
    Unfortunity each new call is not populating outlook with an automactic new record so notes could be made.
    Currently we name the client with notes on back end eg: John Smith ..wants to buy main street call back asap.
    This is crazy way to make notes on incoming calls but there no was to conert to a task or an appointment.... One day .....i can only dream.

  • ITunes library synchronization across multiple users on one computer

    I've got a PC running MS XP/Home, with a separate user account for each family member. I also repointed all the iTunes library file pointers to the SAME file on the "D" hard drive (taking all that pressure off the "C" drive, which is filling up!)--so each iTunes incarnation for each user points to the same (master) file.
    But when I download music from the Music Store into the library from my user account, it doesn't show up in the iTunes library listing when my daughter logs in using her account--and she can't download it to her iPod.
    Why? I bought it for her; why should she have to download it? It's all on one computer!
    Is it that iTunes really can't handle multiple users on one computer??????? I don't get it...this isn't any copyright or license issue.
    I'd appreciate any tips to get the iTunes on one user's account to "restudy" the library to see if it's been changed by another user. We're all one family on our one computer!

  • Can you have multiple users on one apple Id and utilize iCloud?

    My family shares an apple Id and we each have multiple Apple devices. When we use iCloud we "cross pollinate" each others devices with contacts, calendar events, etc.  is it possible to manage multiple users on one apple Id with iCloud activated or are separate ID's required?

    iCloud isn't designed as a multi-user service. Either you all have the same ID, and all your data is available to everyone, or you all have separate IDs and keep your data separate. You can share calendars, so that for example you could all have your own calendars but have one which is common to everyone:
    http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a9479
    If you want to share contacts you will have to do it manually. If you want to do file transfer you will have to find a third-party alternative.

  • Adding multiple users into one security group at one shot

    Hi,
    Is there any way we can add multiple users into one security group at one shot into PWA.
    For example: I want 100 create 100 users in EPM and Providing them with custom define Team defined permissions and can I add Time sheet Manager as well while creating bulk user through resource template in Project server 2010.
    Thanks,
    Prashant

    Hi Prashant,
    In order to add users in a security group, you can open the group, select all the appropriate resources (pressing CTRL key) and add them to the group. There is no other easy way. Otherwise a powershell script could do the job.
    For the timesheet manager, if all the 100 resources have the same timesheet manager, you can go to the resource center, select the resources (sorting by resource ID will give you together the latest resources added), bulk edit the resources and select the
    timesheet manager for the selected resources.
    Hope this helps,

  • Sharing photos between multiple users on one Mac

    I'm trying to figure out how to easily share photos imported in by one user to other users in my family on my mac. I'm assuming we don't have to import them multiple times. It seems cumbersome to this new mac user to share them. I find the issue with iTunes. Any help?

    HI Darien,
    Here are all the links I have for the different kinds of sharing:
    SHARING IPHOTO LIBRARIES
    Sharing libraries between users on the same local network
    You can also share a library on the same machine between users the same way.
    Sharing libraries between users on the same machine...
    -both users must have sharing enabled in their iPhoto Preferences
    -both users must be logged in and have iPhoto running
    -Remember that you can only view the other library. You can't edit the photos or play the saved slideshows or view the made books or burn them to CD or DVD. The books and slideshows will show up as an album. You can play that album as an "on the fly" slideshow. You can drag images from the sharing library to your library in the source column to import them to your library. You can then edit, add to albums, books, slideshow, etc.
    Sharing links from Apple....

    SHARING ONE IPHOTO LIBRARY BETWEEN USERS ON SAME MACHINE
    You can try one of these three methods:
    1- Use iPhoto Library Manager-the paid version
    The documentation page will give instructions on how it is done.
    2- Sharing one iPhoto library between several users on one machine
    3- Share an iPhoto Library in tiger Using ACL's
    4- I have also read about ShareAlike
    There is no other info on the site about how it works.
    I strongly urge anyone wanting to try any of the methods for sharing one iPhoto Library folder among more than one user to backup all iPhoto Library folders before attemptin anything.

  • Multiple users on one mac sharing one itunes library

    Hi, I read through this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3753008 and was able to have two users share one itunes library on one computer (yay).  However, for the new user, she can't add any music files to her itunes even though I already made sure that she had read/write permissions for the shared folder.  Can anyone help?  Thanks!  (I recently upgraded to mountain lion on a 2009 macbook, if that matters at all.  Thanks.)
