Order of hierarchy for preference settings...

Hi,
Fairly new to administering using WM, but I'm having trouble with the following:
I'm trying to lock down which printers are available to certain users and/or computers. I've been trying to do this via WM, but I am confused as to what settings have priorities over others, here's an example.
If I designate a particular preference for a USER (e.g user can only use printer 1)
Which contradicts the same preference setting for the GROUP that user is in, (e.g users in this group can only use printer 2)
Which in turn contradicts the same preference for the Computer GROUP the user is logging on to, (e.g computers in this group can only print to printer 3)
Which in turn contradicts the same individual computer preference the user is logging on to, (e.g this computer can only print to printer 4)
Which preference setting is adhered to? (i.e WHAT printer can they print to, if any?!)
Help Please!

Hi
The order of precedence is Users, Computers, Groups. Managed preferences accumulate. If the same setting is defined for Computers as Groups but differs slightly the Computer preference will take precedence.
In practice its better to manage preferences at Group Level with some machine specific preferences applied at Computer level (energy saver, login window etc). Unless you have a small user base there is not much mileage in applying preferences at user level.
If you wanted to apply specific settings on a per user basis then of course you would do so at the User Level. If you have hundreds of users it would be time consuming.
The information is in the documentation:

  • How to implement Approval hierarchy for Sales Order in Order Management.

    Hi,
    We need approval process for sale orders in Order Management module. Currently we are using credit HOLD option for orders at shipping level. The issue we are facing now is we can not cancel those orders who contains Service Line item in it while on HOLD. The restriction raised at the time of cancelling the order that the Line Item is "fulfilled". Service line item's get fulfilled.
    Is that any other possibility to have Approval hierarchy for Sales Orders in Order Management Module? If it is possible can anybody share the related document or implementation guide?
    Thanks with anticipation in advance.
    Many Regards
    Kaleem Bhatti

    I copied the standard order header workflow and the "Book Order, Manual" workflow to custom workflows.  I then modified the "Book Order, Manual" workflow to put another completely custom workflow (call this "Approvals") in between the "Book Eligible" and "Book" steps.
    The "Approvals" step assessed the sales order, changed the order header to the pending approval flow_status_code, and sent out the appropriate notifications.  The "Approvals" step returned a Complete/Incomplete where complete would proceed to "Book" and incomplete would go back to "Book Eligible."  The new workflow was then assigned to the order type needed.  I don't still have access to that environment (job change) or I would give more definite instructions.

    That sounds like a compatibility issue with an add-on that you have installed, as reported by a number of users in both Firefox 22 and Firefox 23 over the last couple of months. If you would provide a listing of your installed extensions ''(as you were prompted to do when creating this thread)'' maybe one of us can advise you which extension is the mot likely culprit. You will need to re-install Firefox 23 to do further diagnostic testing.
    As far as the compatibility of Firefox 23 and Win XP SP3, Mozilla has verified they are compatible and not one user ''(including me on two separate PC's)'' has reported a problem with compatibility.

  • Preference Settings for Mac Mini

    Hi,
    I'm thinking of getting a Mac Mini.
    Right now I have Dell Windows XP and my GB's originally were 19 but way down to 7. Computer still works but 4 years old and running slow sometimes.
    My question is, is it hard to set up preference settings? I would want the most security on my mac mini so my privacy is protected and I know it has a firewall.
    I'm not sure if I am going to get anti-virus. I know Macs don't get them like Windows XP!!
    Any help will be appreciated!!
    Thanks and have a good day!!!

    Hi Beth,
    1) Filevault was preinstalled on my wife's mini. It looks to be more of a master password for users too keep others from physically gaining access to you files.
    2) Most, if not all online banking is secure from the banks web site. In safari look for the lock icon in the upper right for a secure site. In Explorer it is on the lower left but Explorer is no longer supported by Mac. I'm not quite sure where it is in Firefox. In Safari you can click on the History drop down and click Clear History. Under Safari Preferences click Empty Cache... A good thing to do periodically anyway. Saves disk space, clears clutter.
    3) Setting up the Mini, is well, childs play. On the back of the box is a diagram. 1, unpack take out of box. 2, connect monitor, (VGA to DVI adapter included), usb keyboard and mouse. 3, plug in, turn on. 4, explore your new Mac, ilife applications and enjoy. You'll have some preference dialog boxes (time, date, region, email, internet connectivity) to go through but total set up time should take all together maybe twenty minutes if that.
    4) 1.800.MY.APPLE (1.800.692.7753) Under the support tab of this site you can go to the Mini page and find answers to questions you may have. Also a nice feature of this site is Mac 101. It is a help to new mac users.
    I agree with you on Apple's web site. It is a wealth of knowledge as are these discussion boards.
    BTW if you plan to keep you other computer you may want to look at Belkin's Flip KVM switch. I recently commented on it in another post. Also they have a good web site with a better description.
    Take care Beth and congradulations on your desicion.

  • Is it possible to save System preference settings for every user that logins to a Mac OS X?

    I work at a school and we have iMacs running Mavericks 10.9 in our environment.  We have them binded to our Windows domain so that way students can use their own login to access the Macs.  I have a number of System preference settings that I would like to take a effect, but I only see that these settings take effect for every user.  So even if I login as the Main administrator account and set settings in System Preferences, such as not allowing the Wifi symbol to show, the next user that logins will still see the wifi symbol because the setting isn't taking effect for their System preferences.  Does anyone know a way to get System Preference settings to take affect for every user that logins? Maybe a script?

    Modifying the user template is not supported. You can Google for people who have done it in the past. I would recommend going to official route, if possible. Here are a couple of training documents. I'm sure there is more available though more official channels.

  • Can you transfer apps data/preference settings from one iPod to another?

    I just bought a new 32G iPod touch (previously using a 16G touch). I know how to transfer all of my music, movies, etc. from the iTunes library.
    But here is my question: is there a way to transfer the "preferences/settings" files for my apps--workout routines, high score settings, mail settings, stock data--from the iPod itself?
    The actual apps transferred over fine from iTunes, but is there a way to get all of my info from my old iPod to the new one?

    I am trying to do this, but it doesn't seem to work for me. When I restore my new iPod from my old iPod backup, I only get settings and some pictures, but no apps or music.
    In order for this to work would have I had to have the "Sync" settings on for apps and music? I can't turn this on now. The music is not a big deal, but I have a few essential apps on here that I really need the data from.
    Any ideas?

  • Problem with my program looking for the settings file in the wrong folder

    I have been writing a simple FTP file uploader, what I want to do is be able to select the files I want to upload in windows explorer and then right click and click the menu item and it launches the program and passes the files paths that I have selected to it.
    So I use this in the windows registry "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_03\bin\java.exe -jar D:\BenFTP\BenFTP.jar %1"
    It launches fine and has no problem finding the files I want to upload. The problem is that it tries to look for the settings file in the same folder that the file I am try to upload is in. Which it's not suppose to do since the settings file is in the same folder that the .jar is in.

    So, you're looking for your settings file in your current working directory. There's no way to set the CWD in your registry entry (is there?) so that isn't a practical thing to do. Presumably you're using a File object or a FileReader or something? Can't do that.
    One alternative is to look for the settings file in the classpath. You can get a URL to a file in the classpath like this:URL settings = this.getClass().getResource("/settings.xml");Or you can get an InputStream to read the file by using the getResourceAsStream method. You would have to make sure that your executable jar file contained a Class-Path entry that specified the right directory, because the directory the jar is contained in isn't automatically in an executable jar's classpath.
    Another alternative is to ask the user where the settings file is supposed to be, and put an entry in the Preferences (java.util.prefs) to remember that location.

  • How to Check System Preference Settings with Time Machine

    I just found and fixed a problem caused by a bad System Preference/Universal Access
    setting and would like to go back in my Time Machine backup to see where the
    error was made. I may have been too quick to blame the 10.5.3 update on the
    problem so wanted to look back in time.
    The problem is i don't know how to check System Preferences using the Time Machine.
    Any suggestion?

    If you're looking for specific settings, the short answer is you cannot. You can open the .plist files and try to find the specific option you're looking for, though it might not be too easy to decipher some of the contents of the .plist file. For the most part they're just lists of attributes and settings. For instance, here's a very small chunk of my Finder .plist file:
    <key>All Images.cannedSearch</key>
    <dict>
         <key>SidebarWidth</key>
         <integer>162</integer>
         <key>ToolbarVisible</key>
         <true/>
         <key>ViewHeight</key>
         <integer>1116</integer>
         <key>ViewStyle</key>
         <string>icnv</string>
         <key>WindowBounds</key>
         <dict>
              <key>bottom</key>
              <integer>1200</integer>
              <key>left</key>
              <integer>56</integer>
              <key>right</key>
              <integer>1920</integer>
              <key>top</key>
              <integer>84</integer>
         </dict>
    </dict>
    <key>AnimateInfoPanes</key>
    <true/>
    <key>AnimateSnapToGrid</key>
    <string>true</string>
    <key>AnimateWindowZoom</key>
    <true/>
    Each "key" is followed by an attribute, so for instance the "SideBar Width" key is given the "Width" integer attribute of 162. However, some keys have multiple entries, such as the "WindowBounds" key having sub-keys of "bottom", "left", "right", and "top".
    These values are finder preferences, though are not accessible via the finder's preference settings. However, buried deep in the Finder's .plist file are some of the user-editable settings:
    <key>ShowHardDrivesOnDesktop</key>
    <true/>
    <key>ShowMountedServersOnDesktop</key>
    <true/>
    <key>SidebarSearchesSectionDisclosedState</key>
    <false/>
    If you can find the attribute you're looking for, then that may help you narrow down which version of a .plist file to restore, though not all of them are straightforward legible text. Some have bizarre strings of seemingly random characters that only the application can interpret.

  • Restoring Preferences & Settings after Lion Re-Install

    For reasons I regret I decided to re-install Lion, thinking that it might resolve a problem I was having with mail. It was interesting to go through the new process, using the Lion partition set aside on your hard drive... since there are no longer any DVDs involved.
    However, the re-install stripped out all of my Sysytem and application preferences/settings/configurations/ etc. leaving me with a totally screwed up desktop, all my Dock icons missing except the basic Apple set.  Even my apps are almost unrecognizable, since I've spent years tweaking at least a hundred of them to work "just right" for me.
    I'm assuming that everything I need to restore what I had is still in Time Machine, but I need to know specifically what folders to restore. Library>Preferences is an obvious one, but what others?
    Also, do I need to boot from a DVD or other external system to carry out the deed? Right now, when I give it a try, I keep getting a messgae that I can't do it because my OS X is using the folder.
    I have really found this crippling, so please offer suggestions ASAP. If I had known this would happen, I certainly wouldn't have re-installed in the first place. The original install preserved everything.
    All help will be appreciated; but I don't want the kind of advice that says back-up everything, reformat your hard drive and start over from scratch. I don't consider that a solution.
    ...Charles

    Since I didn't receive any replies here anyway, I decided to see if I could do a complete system restore from Time Machine after my original Lion install (when everything was fine) and before I re-installed Lion and lost so many critical settngs, my iCal calendars, dock contents, app settings, etc.
    Luckily there was a one-day window in TM for me to do that.
    Those who don't use Time Machine may have a more difficult time, but I'm declaring that I've solved my own problem this time.

  • Order By Clause For Retrieving Child Elements

    Hi All,
    I got a toplink question regarding adding an order by clause for retrieving the child elements in a 1 to many mapping.
    I have an Order with a collection of Order Events. ( one to many mapping). The OrderEvent model is the super class of all events and it is abstract. The mapping for the order event descriptors has a class hierarchy mapping which uses a table for its super class (i.e OrderEvent abstract class) and different tables for its sub class elements (e.g ShippingEvent, LifeCycleEvent etc which are concrete classes).
    If I add an order by clause to order the event by a spuerClassProperty in the super class descriptor, it gets ignored and the ordering is done by the alphabetic order of the indicator field values.
    I also noticed that if there is more than one sub class instance for a specific class indicator value, the ordering by is observed.
    I got around it with a Comparator, but just want to know if it could be possible to achieve this with toplink.
    Regards.

    Does the Order By appear on the SQL that get issued? TopLink only does ordering on the database, and not in memory. This means that subclass queries will be ordered per type, on not as one big list.
    A Comparator is a good solution.

  • INDCS3 Print Presets do not hold Printer Preference Settings

    We are running WinXP, INDCS3 suite. We noticed that when creating and saving a Print Preset and reloading it to another PC, the Printer preference settings (in particular) paper size and tray do not hold. We created several for staff and when they LOAD them, the printer/preferences from specific printers do not hold. We did not have this problem in CS2.
    Is this simply the fact that the Print screen setting hold, but preferences (setup) for a specific printer do not?
    Can anyone share any info on this?
    KPanthen, Albany, NY

    I'm having a similar problem where I cannot set my printer to collate and the checkbox is grayed out in General tab.. and I know my printers are able to collate.. For some odd reason Indesign doesnt exactly read or detect the printer settings..

  • Where can I find the user key precedence hierarchy for each record type?

    Example: I want to update contact records through the CRMOD web service API.
    So I'm looking at the "Oracle Web Services On Demand Guide, Version 6.0 (released August 2010)", page 316, and it lists 3 user keys for Contact.wsdl v2.0 in the following order:
    1. FirstName and LastName
    2. Id
    3. ExternalSystemId
    From what I can see, this order does not seem to reflect the precedence hierarchy of these 3 user keys.
    I've send in a test update where I supplied a FN, LN, and EUID, ... and the contact that matched the EUID got updated.
    (I'm glad it did, because EUID really needs to take precedence over FN+LN, otherwise you could never change a contact's last name without knowing the contact's Row Id.)
    Does anyone know where I can find the precedence hierarchy for each record type's user keys (other than doing the obvious and time consuming "try+error")?

    Hi,
    we experienced similar problems with the account object and asked the oracle support about this. This was their answer:
    "[...] thank you for contacting CRM On Demand Customer Care. Regarding your question, please note the below: when perfoming a query, the user key fields are looked for in this order: - Row id - External System Id - AccountName and Location. Basically, the search will be performed by AccountName and Location only when the other fields are missing. This is an expected behavior because, the Row Id is the strongest filter as it is always unique. The external system Id comes second, as it is supposed to be unique in another system."
    So, I guess the order is always
    1) Row Id
    2) External System Id
    3) specific field combinations...
    kind regards
    Kai
