Permission to share folders or not - A disscussion

Hi!
I'm about to update my installation to iMS5.2. In this version the "shared folder"-feature is implemented in the webmail client. Earlier I have this feature turned off becourse of the access to a adminserver-port isnt ok.
Now it is in another situation. And if I choose to use this feature, is it reliable? Which attributes set the permission to share a folder etc.?
Thanks in advice

Server 2012 lost permission and share folders

I restart the server and the folder keep with the problem, i have other folder shared in the same location and work good, you think the solution is move all files to a new folder?

Have you tried restarting the "Server" service after rebooting to see if the folder permissions and sharing status come back? If this helps, you can create a script to run at startup to restart that service as a temporary workaround.
Also, I would try creating and sharing another folder in the same parent folder as the problematic folder and see if it retains the permissions and sharing when the server is rebooted. If so and if possible, move contents of the problematic folder into the new folder.

Default File Permission not being inherited from parent Share folders

I'm having some trouble with file permissions
on one of my 10.4.7 file servers (running XServe).
New folders under Shared folders are not getting their
permissions from the parent folders.
Share permission is owner:rw,group:rw,everyone:none
but a new folder created below that becomes
owner:r+w,group:r,everyone:r
and the owner for the new folder is the user who
created it and not the admin (for the machine).
I have the default permission to set to inherit permission
from parent but that doesn't seem to be working.
I have couple other Xserve 10.4.7 file servers that
is behaving the way I want, with default permission
is being inherited from the parent folders, and I've compared them but cannot find any difference between
the two in their settings.
Thank you,
Tadashi

If you deny read and execute access for any parent folder, you've denied the ability to access its contents. The POSIX execute bit for folders is the switch that determines whether or not the folder's contents can be viewed, listed, or searched. If the contents are not enumerable, then it doesn't matter what their privileges are.
But be careful. Just not allowing execute for the POSIX owner, POSIX group or POSIX everyone else field may not be sufficient if you're using Effective Permissions. In this case, you'd want to inspect your ACL entries for the parent to ensure that the following controls were not in relevant ACL Allow entries: readextattr, readattr, readsecurity, list, and search. You could also create an ACL Deny entry which denies these five controls for the group or user you want to block out; but don't block the Everyone or Authenticated Users group because ACL Deny rules are evaluated in such a manner that they "subtract from" ACL Allow and POSIX permissions:
E <=> (P U A)\D
Effective Permissions (E) are logically equivalent to the union of (U) applicable POSIX permissions (P) and applicable ACL Allow entries (A), taking away (\) applicable ACL Deny entries (D).
Further, POSIX permissions, P are defined as P <=> (u xor g xor o); they are either the permissions of the owner (u), group (g), or everyone else (o) fields, but not any combination of the two or three.

How to alow non-default domain users to set share folders.

From Messanger Express, users who are in non-default domains cannot set any share folders, and only get an error message "You do not have permission for setting permission". However, Users in default domain can do it without any problem in same server[iMs5.2].
Is there any specific permission to allow non-default domain users to do it ?
If yes, how to give this permission to these users ?
Thanks & regards,
Takuto

In deed it is fix in the GA.Another way to set the alias table is to do it in the Admin client. If you add a connexion to a user there is a new 6.5 button "set alias" that allow you to set the default alias table for this specific user. But, it does not exit on a user group level.

Share folders

hello,
i want to share folders with my pc.
i opened the file sharing, but i only have access from my pc to the one folder not all the other subfolders inside.
Because i have a lot of subfolders i cannot share them all. is there an other way?
i also tried making my pc an administrative user, with no result.
thank you

HI, on the PC, make a new user same as the Mac's admin user, when signing into the Mac, use the Mac's admin username & PW.

Tools Manage Folders to share folders pitfall to watch out for

Just thought I would share something I learned today. In Discoverer Administration, you have a Manage Folders function, which you access by doing Tools > Manage Folders. This lets you assign a folder to multiple business areas. An obvious advantage of this is that you only have to bring in one copy of an Oracle table into the EUL. Joins, item classes, and hierarchies associated with the folder are also available to all business areas as well, which also sounds great. Except if you are exporting/importing individual business areas rather than the whole EUL. Then you can run into potential problems with the import. At McCarthy, we do not use the Oracle seeded business areas. We develop our own. We have a development environment we use to create business areas and workbooks. When ready for users to test, we "promote" the appropriate stuff (business area and/or workbook(s)) by exporting out of development and importing to the test instance. When users approve what is being worked on, we then "promote" to production, again via export/import of business area/workbook. In this kind of environment, sharing folders caused us to run into import errors, because of trying to reference folders and joins and item classes and stuff that did not exist yet in the instance we were promoting to (had been created in another business area originally). I logged a service request with Oracle support. Support's reply is that it is their suggestion to customers to import a new copy of an Oracle table into a new business area, rather than attempt to share folders, because of this potential pitfall. So just something to consider if you want to try and share folders among business areas.

Rod,
I agree. That is another option. But it still faces potential danger. Let's say I create business area A. I import Oracle tables into that business area, say for project expenditures, project master, and people master. I create a join between expenditures and project master and a join between expenditures and people master. I create an item class LOV called Project ID LOV and assign project id column from expenditures and project master folders to that item class. I create an item class called Person ID LOV and assign person id column from expenditures and people master folders to that item class. Now I create business area B. I bring in the Oracle table for assignments. I use Tools > Manage Folders to assign the people master folder to B and the projects folder also to B. That sharing brings both item class LOVs into business area B, as well as all existing joins for those 2 shared folders. In B I do want to use the Person ID LOV. If I export and import the people master folder, I should be okay, since I am not bringing the joins or item classes in - just the folder. Next I do want to export Person ID LOV. If I then try to import that Person ID LOV, I will get import error, because this item class is assigned to a column in a folder (expenditures folder in business area A) that I have not yet imported to the target instance. So I would have to know and manage that I need to export/import the Expenditures folder first before I export/import the item class I want. Trying to manage all of this seems like it would be a pain, in my mind. You and others may disagree. The simplest process seems to be to keep the business areas self contained (or independent - whatever you want to call it) and then you can export/import using the business area option without any issues (or none that we have run into yet). That was the way things were being done before I arrived and after Discoverer training, which covered the Tools > Manage Folders function, I talked the folks into trying to share folders rather than importing new "copies" (really, a new definition) for each new business area. The concept of sharing folders across business areas sure seemed like the smart way to go at the time. Oh well, live and learn. But certainly what you have suggested would be another way to handle this kind of situation - cannot argue that.

Understanding Share folders

Hi,
I don't know if I will be able to explain this right because I didn't capture the information I saw. I thought I saw a little old computer icon under my “share” menu, when I opened finder and I noticed this icon with a number underneath that I have never seen before I got scared because I’m not sharing any folders. The thing is that when I clicked on it at last only a few seconds and then it disappeared.
Any idea why was this icon there?
Is it possible that I have some sort of spy ware?
The only thing I was using is my 1password, I was syncing my 1password from my iPhone with the one on my laptop, could this be the reason why this icon appeared? The thing is that I did this a few times and it didn’t appear.
Can someone help me understand how share folders work and what could be the possible reason why I saw this icon?
Thanks a lot!

Thank you for your reply!
Well, the icon looked like an old computer with a number on the bottom, and as I said I didn't have too much time to see the icon since this appeared for a few seconds only.
The location where this appeared was... If you open finder on your left where you see your Devices, Places and the Search For folders.
It looks like this was not spyware, It was probably my iPhone or my wife's laptop, next time I will put more attention if this ever appears again.
Thanks a lot for your help!

Is there no way to share folders with the rest of the Team, rather than file by file, link by link

Is there no way to share folders with the rest of the Team, rather than file by file, link by link, potentially hundreds of links for a folder containing graphics, html, css, etc for a web project?
Not quite sure what's the advantage of a team account - just seems like a bulk purchase of single accounts. As a team working in the cloud I'd expect to be able to collaborate on projects not a single file.

Folder sharing is not currently available.
The advantage of a Team account is not bulk purchase but being able to assign and remove Seats as needed by an Administrator who handles billing. With an Individual subscription the payment information is attached to each the individual.

the problem started when my computer screen broke from something falling on it, the screen was replaced but the people that fixed it for me told me there may be some hard disk issues when a problem like this happens, they ran their own checks and found nothing and i was given my laptop back, then when i tried to use it, i found this problem. everything else works fine.
i have shutdown and re-started my computer multiple times and i have also re-started finder multiple times, both having no effect
i have also done a few other things to find that my apple.com.finder.plist and apple.com.sidebar.plist are both missing, and are not re-creating themselves, i have found no way to bring them back either.

How do I change the color of font in a fillable form in Adobe Reader? How can I check if the writer of the document has given permission to edit color and not just add text?

How do I change the color of font in a fillable form in Adobe Reader? How can I check if the writer of the document has given permission to edit color and not just add text? Please help! I'm technologically challenged.

Most forms (99% or more) are created for simple text input, where you cannot change anything.
The creator of the form could allow Rich Text input (which allows you to change font, text size, color, etc.), but frankly I have never seen such a form, and I wouldn't know how they look. But I'm sure they would show some kind of controls to alter the text appearance.

Bridge will do the job. View > Sort > ByType. Then you can choose a group of one type and put the files in a separate folder.
