Permissions issue - node creation

Today our application developed a new bug related to posting messages into a SimpleChatModel node.  It tells us that the user does not have permission to create the node.
We have approximately 50 rooms and all of them have the nodes we need already in them.  There is no node creation that takes place during normal operation of our application.
Now, we've been doing this type of posting (successfully posting chat messages into the SimpleChatModel with only Publisher-level permissions) all last week and over the weekend.  It may be that we wrote a bug of course, but I couldn't help noticing that the timing coincided with Nigel's blog post introducing the new SDK.  Is it possible that the volume of new LCCS users, or the use of new server-side permission techniques is related to our issue?
Thanks,
-Mike

Hironmay, I appreciate your input, I know I didn't really provide enough info but I wanted to see if there actually was a problem of which you were aware.
The behavior was better this morning - but the error has returned (no changes to our code have been made).  So I suspect it is either a timing issue related to how elements of the swf load, or a bug in your service.
Here is some of the code we use to initialize the chat pod.
import com.adobe.rtc.sharedModel.descriptors.ChatMessageDescriptor;
import com.adobe.rtc.events.ChatEvent;
import com.adobe.rtc.sharedModel.SimpleChatModel;
[Bindable]
public var chatModel:SimpleChatModel;
private function init():void{
chatModel = new SimpleChatModel();
chatModel.sharedID = "myChat_SimpleChatModel";
sync();
chatModel.addEventListener(ChatEvent.HISTORY_CHANGE, onChatMsg);
this.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, onKeyStroke);
public function sync():void
chatModel.subscribe();
protected function submitChat(str:String):void
var cmd:ChatMessageDescriptor = new ChatMessageDescriptor();
cmd.msg =  str;
chatModel.sendMessage(cmd);
chat_mesg_input.text = "";
that code is in an mxml file that defines the chat pod.  the only other place in which we call sync() is reproduced with a small bit of context here:
if (_usersInRoom == "2" && !_synched) {
startPublication();
if (chatPod) {
chatPod.sync();
_synched = true;
this issue does not seem to be confined to any specific room(s) and we are using version 10.

  • Permissions Issue, Colour Wheel, Hard Drive Issue??

    Hi!
    I have had issues with my mid 2009 MBP recently and I'm wondering what the best way to fix them would be. 
    First off, I have some major permissions issues with my accounts.  I am using 3 different users regualrly on the same machine and needed to access files from the home folder so I changed them a long time ago, and am not sure how to fix that.  I have repaired the permissions countless times in the disk utility and it seems like there's always loads more to do each time.  When I varify the disk, it says its all okay.
    Secondly, I have had the machine freeze on me several times while doing very little on it.  This happened awhile ago, and thought that it was just the permisions thing and so I did that again, and it started working better, for awhile.  It would go a few days or weeks before doing the same thing, sometimes not even getting past the apple logo on startup before freezing.  This makes me think it may be a hard drive issue???????
    This morning, I tried dozens of times to boot, with no success at all.....  until about the 25th time when it miraculasly booted.  I have run permissions repair a few more times and it seems to be working okay at the moment, but the problem seems to be happening more often over time. 
    To complicate matters, I am traveling at the moment and will not be home for several months.  I purchased an external harddrive last night and was able to successfully back up my data. 
    Question 1: Is it the permissions that are causing these problems, or is it related to something else.  The computer seems to work fine when its working, and then once in awhile, decides its not going to do anything. 
    Question 2:  Would upgrading to Lion (currently running 10.6.8) fix the permissions issues or just carry them forward?  I would like to consolidate the 3 users into one, if that would solve it.  Does the migration utility preserve permissions or does it give you a brand new start?
    Question 3:  If neither solving the permissions or the OS upgrade would fix the problem and it does need a new harddrive, is it possible to buy one and install it myself?  I do not have apple care left on this machine and am on a very tight budget.  I am used to taking things apart and all that as part of my job and it seems simple enough.  Where can you buy a replacement?? 
    Hopefully someone out there will be able to help me out on this one. 
    Cheers!!!!

    Disk Utility permissions are separate from User account permissions.
    This link is how to fix them
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2181549?start=0&tstart=0
    Disk Utility will always show something to be needing repair, but that's ok
    Apple supoort doc.
    https://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448?locale=da_DK
    Verify Disk is good, that's a good thing.
    To complicate matters, I am traveling at the moment and will not be home for several months.  I purchased an external hard drive last night and was able to successfully back up my data. 
    Your data is backed up, hopefully not with TimeMachine alone, but if you did, then get another drive and backup data manually to that as well. If the TM drive gets messed up, it's a pain to get your data off of it.
    Question 1: Is it the permissions that are causing these problems, or is it related to something else.  The computer seems to work fine when its working, and then once in awhile, decides its not going to do anything.
    Well you could call Apple for replacement 10.6.x disks, and just reinstall 10.6 and bundled programs, but this can kick out kext files out of the /System/Library/Extensions folder installed by some third party software.
    This method fixes OS X, but doesn't touch your files or most programs.
    Nor will this method fix your Users accounts if the issue is in there.
    A creation of a new user, then deletion of the others, return files from backup (set permissions) will fix User folder issues if the above user permissions fix doesn't work.
    (Of course you could wipe the drive from the 10.6 disk, but you have to install all software again)
    Would upgrading to Lion (currently running 10.6.8) fix the permissions issues or just carry them forward?
    No, you don't want to install Lion, it won't fix those issues in User folders, not only that Lion has it's own issues and doesn't work with a lot of older software etc.   No use clusterfscking a already bad situtation when it's seems it's only localized to the User accounts.
    I would like to consolidate the 3 users into one, if that would solve it.
    Yes that could very nicely and tidy up things in the process.
    What you do is transfer all files to one regular powered storage hard drive.
    (Don't use/disconnect the TimeMachine drive for this as it preserves the users seperated and you don't want all those users back restoring  with Migration Assistant)
    Create the New User on the machine as Admin, log into it and delete all the other Users, transfer all your files back from the regular storage drive, changing all the permissions to yourself before placing them into their respective folders as they will have three different permissions.
    Notes:
    If you have a extensive iTunes playlists on one User (say #1), then create the new user with that same name (will require some work, create User 4, delete Users 1-3, reboot, create User 1, delete User 4) then transfer your iTunes folder to Music of that User 1 (same name as before). This will preserve the pathnames of your song locations and your playlists will be preserved.
    (before you ask, no you can't combine playlists)
    Also if you have photo's in iPhoto Library, you have to right click on it and "show package contents" inside is a folder called Originals, copy them out and import into the iPhoto of the User #1.
    Does the migration utility preserve permissions or does it give you a brand new start?
    Yes it preserves user permissions, no it doesn't give you a brand new start. Only a fresh install, creation of new users and then just transferring of files does that.
    Nothing about TimeMachine or Migration Assistant gives one a "fresh start", it's if hosed, so is your restore.
    If you want that sort of pristine protection, you need to clone your ideal boot partition/drive using Carbon Copy Cloner (free/donationware) occasionally as a hold the option key bootable drive, then you can erase and reverse clone the pristine saved clone.
    One can also update the clone on occasion, this way keeping the clone pristine.
    I maintain 3 clones time dated, even have my boot drive partitioned 50/50 and auto-cloned, this way I have two boot partitions on the road and two externals at home.
    I never use TimeMachine, it's not bootable (well it is on 10.7.2 only to restore though)

  • Issue in Creation of XML file from ABAP data

    Hi,
    I need to create a XML file, but am not facing some issues in creation of XML file, the in the required format.
    The required format is

    Iu2019m using the call transformation to convert ABAP data to XML file.
    So please anybody can help how to define XML structure in transaction XSLT_TOOL.
    And one more thing, here I need to put the condition to display the Header 3, Header 4, Header 5 values. If there is no record for a particular line item in header 3, 4 & 5, I donu2019t want to display full line items; this is only for Header 3, 4 & 5.
    Please help me in this to get it resolved.

    Hello,
    you can use CALL TRANSFORMATION id, which will create a exact "print" of the ABAP data into the XML.
    If you need to change the structure of XML, you can alter your ABAP structure to match the requirements.
    Of course you can create your own XSLT but that is not that easy to describe and nobody will do that for you around here. If you would like to start with XSLT, you´d better start the search.

  • Issue in creation of GL masters

    Dear experts,
    I am having an issue in creation of General Ledger Master Record. We have three company codes and all are using the same chart of accounts. Some of the General Ledgers are being used only by one company code and not by other twos. So I need to create them to the corresponding company code only. But, If I create one ledger master in one company code through FS00, the same ledger master is automatically getting created in other company codes also. Normally if we create any ledger master through FSP0 i.e., only Chart of Accounts segment, the company code segment should not get created.  But in my case, both chart of account segment as well as company code segment also getting created.
    If any one of  you know the solution, please post it  here. I will be so thankful to you.
    Thanks and regards
    Vijaya Kumar S

    I tried to create the Chart of Account segment only with FSP0. But that time also the general ledger master created to all the company codes with company code segment. It is taking the company code segment settings of another General Ledger master which was created in the same account group. But generally, if we create the Chart of Account segment, it must create only the chart of account segment and not the company code level segment.
    It is working fine in testing and development client. But in the production client only I am getting this kind of problem.

  • Reporting Services Point - possibly permissions issue

    I'm having a really hard time configuring a working reporting services point in my test SCCM 2012 R2 environment and was hoping someone might be able to help me work out what's gone wrong.
    My servers are WS2008 R2.  SQL Server 2008 R2 is installed on the primary site server and holds the site database.  I installed SSRS onto a separate site server and added it as a reporting services point.  This worked, and I see the list of
    reports in the SCCM admin console.  However, when I try to run a report - either from the console or via web browser - I get this message:
    The default value expression for the report parameter 'usertokensids' contains an error.  There are no logon servers available to service the logon request. (rsRuntimeErrorInExpression)
       at Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ServerReportSoapProxy.OnSoapException(SoapException e)

    SMSAdminUI.log shows this message:
    [25, PID:3096][06/12/2014 11:24:05] :[fqdnofprimaryserver] : The request failed with HTTP status 503: Server Error.
    Now, the reason I think this is a permissions issue is because srsrp.log on the Reporting Point server shows this:
    (!) Error retrieving folders - [Login failed for user 'domain\reportingservercomputername$'.].
    (I've removed the actual name here, obviously.)
    I'm really puzzled about what's going on here, what is trying to authenticate with the SSRS server's machine credentials, and what for.  Looking in SQL Server Management Studio on the primary site server which hosts the SQL database, I can see that
    the account has a login listed and it has its default schema listed as DBO.  On the SSRS server, in Reporting Services Configuration Manager, the Report Server Service Account is set to a dedicated domain user account.  The Current Report Server
    Database Credential is set to my own Windows login using Current User - Integrated Security - I can't seem to get it to accept the dedicated user account.
    Can anyone help me figure out what's gone wrong and how I fix it, please?  I'm by no means a SQL person, and I'm at my wit's end with this!
    Thanks,
    M

    The plot thickens.
    The SSRS server has these:
    "The report server has detected a possible denial of service attack. The report server is dropping requests for service from the IP address 192.168.113.163" (this is the IP address of the primary site system, which hosts the SQL database)
    and then
    "Report Server Windows Service (MSSQLSERVER) cannot connect to the report server database"
    The primary site system, meanwhile, has got thousands of these:
    "Login failed for user 'DOMAIN\SSRSSERVERNAME$'. Reason: Token-based server access validation failed with an infrastructure error. Check for previous errors. [CLIENT: 192.168.113.164]" (that's the IP of the SSRS server)
    The Windows firewall is off for both systems.  They're on an isolated test network.  I still don't understand where the setting is that tells it to make SQL queries using the SSRS server's machine account, rather than the dedicated service account
    I created.
    Any more ideas?  Thanks for your help so far - I really appreciate it!

  • How do I migrate from one user to another to resolve sleep/permissions issues?

    My MacBook Pro's been having several issues, mainly with waking from sleep. I've tried Repairing Permissions, Repair Disk, running tools like OnyX and Drive Genius, but they can't find any issues. I checked the Console log, and there was some sort of denial from displaying the login window after I woke up from sleep.
    Initially I thought this had to do with some of my peripherals being plugged in when I already had the lid closed; the Mac would wake up, not realize the lid was closed, and never go back to sleep. Nothing--keyboard or trackpad touches--would wake the machine up. I'd have to hard reset by holding the Power button on.
    I had an Apple Genius suggest that I create a new user and test it out with the (same) default sleep settings as the buggy user account. It wakes up from sleep lightning fast, and has thus far never had any issues.
    I'm leaning toward sticking with this new user and migrating over my things bit by bit, to try and avoid potential permissions issues. But since I don't know where the source of this sleep problem lies, how should I go about it?
    I've read through Pondini's Transfer Guide here http://pondini.org/OSX/Transfer.html, but I'm just wondering where people would start, knowing that the machine has had permissions issues with some files. (The permissions issues, btw, I believe were caused by a mangled Time Machine restore. I replaced my internal HD with another one, but the Time Machine/Migration Assistant restore wasn't complete. I did it a second time from within the user account that got created, then tried to delete the malformed one and rename the complete one, but that's when the issues started.)

    I wasn't intending to move the entire home folder, rather, moving things like what's inside my Documents folder in chunks.
    From what I read, tracking down the origin of sleep/wake problems on a computer is notoriously hard, especially if Disk Utility and similar tools don't give any clues during Repair Disk or Repair Permissions. Creating the new user seemed to help, but I don't know why that alone would "fix" anything, so I haven't moved any files as of yet nor done anything with the new user account.
    Trying to move the things from my Library folder to my desktop also seems a bit risky; it's hidden in Lion and Mountain Lion because a lot of system files are there, right? Wouldn't moving them cause problems, not just help me find what file/folder (if any) could be the culprit?

  • "screen shot can't be saved" and other permissions issues

    After having my iMac at the Apple Store for four days solving a problem with "quit unexpectedly" issues with all Apple built-in Apps on OS X Yosemite, I got the machine back with those problems solved.  It involved re-installing OS X and restore files from backup.  I thought all was well; the Genius Bar dude showed me that it's fixed. He said it took so long because of bizarre permissions issues he'd never seen before.
    Now that I've lugged this 40lb machine back home (after verifying the fixes in the store) I now find that several (other) functions don't work.  When I try to do a screenshot, I get this message:"Your screen shot can't be saved.  You don't have permission to save this file in the location where screen shots are stored."  Message could have been more helpful; the "location" is the desktop.  Pretty descriptive, though.  Seems I can't save anything to the desktop.
    I tried creatng a folder on the desktop.  Got this message: "Finder wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this".  Type password and new folder appears.  Drag the new folder to the trash, get same message..
    I tried copying a file from a network drive to the desktop. I get this dialog: "Modifying Desktop requires and administrator name and password.  I clicked "authenticate" and after a 3 minute delay (with "Preparing.." ) I get this dialog; "Finder wants to make changes.  Type your password to allow this".  I type the password and the file appeared on the desktop.  Before the work at the Apple Store, this never happened.  BTW I have only one user account and it's marked "Allow user to administer this computer".  Thinking something might be goofy with the pw, I changed it (took 3 minutes to do, oddly) and rebooted. No joy. Same thing happens when I try to drag something from the desktop to the trash.  Long time "moving" message followed by having to provide and admin pw.
    I tried to save a Safari attachment to the Downloads folder and got this message: "Safari could not download the file xxxxx because there is not enough free disk space".  Since I have more than 600GB of available space, I think the message is wrong and that it's really a permission issue with the Downloads folder.
    Tried to reset the password again.  Click to unlock the Users & Groups panel, get "System Preferences is trying to unlock Users & Groups preferences.  Type your password to allow this".
    All this tells me that somehow Yosemite is in "nag" mode (reminiscent of Windows Vista.
    Any ideas?

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
    Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
    sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
              Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
    Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
               ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

  • Can't Customize, Change Settings, or Move Files -- Permissions Issue?

    Hey all:
    Just got a new MBP w/ 10.5.2. Successfully migrated most of my user settings and applications from the old Tiger HDD (old laptop died a horrible death).
    The problem is that aside from everything appearing to be the same, I'm finding that I don't have the access to do a whole lot with my own files. Several different problems that "seem" like they're stemming from the same accessiblity/permissions issue include:
    Intermittent trouble downloading files with Firefox's default download tool.
    Complete inability to change desktop background.
    Programs fail to remember setting changes after quit and re-launch.
    System Preferences do not remember changes to settings.
    Certain files can not be moved, renamed, opened, or deleted w/o admin authorization, or in some cases, at all.
    The problems started after I migrated the old system over after having an interim user account running for a few days prior. After migrating, I attempted to reconcile the two together and that's when things got hairy.
    In the past couple days, I have tried:
    1.) Archive and Install (preserving User settings - now down to just one admin).
    2.) Changing permissions to system read/write, admin read/write, everyone read only for the entire /User directory, applied to all enclosed items.
    3.) Repairing Permissions (which took about 10 minutes!)
    I'm at the end of my rope here. I'm stuck with my OS acting the way it wants to, which is the exact way it was after being archived and reinstalled, no matter what changes I try to apply in the Finder, Preferences, or in any programs.
    I'm thinking maybe a clean install and then migrating over the backup I just made on my external HD will get me my stuff without whatever troublesome thing is freezing me out, but I'm not really sure, and I don't really understand much about command lines in Terminal.
    Does anyone have any ideas? Many thanks.

    Oddly enough I just had a spastic moment with a mouse click and put my Drop Box in the Trash (I keep the Delete thing in my window toolbar, which is handy, but can lead to accidents)... Since I was playing with it I noticed its absence immediately. Realized what I had done after a moment's reflection, and put it back. Which just goes to confirm something I ALWAYS do before I empty the Trash: open it and see what's in there first, then click empty.
    As to whether removing ACLs is for advanced users only: well, up until Leopard that's the way it always was, there were, until now, NO ACLs on the users folders. So should everyone have been an advanced user until now? Did you ever delete a folder in Jaquar or Panther or Tiger and empty your Trash without checking? Indeed, if you use Time Machine, available in Leopard but not before, you are already protected from such goofs, since you can recover things accidently deleted using Time Machine, so actually you are in better shape with Leopard than ever before, WITHOUT the ACLs if you use Time Machine. Until Leopard there was neither belt nor suspenders to automatically protect you from losing data. Leopard supplies both.
    The situation reminds me of the continuing debate about virus protection on the Mac. Personally, I have seen various anti-virus programs cause all sorts of problems, and it has yet to protect any Mac system from anything (since as yet there are no Mac system viruses). Anti-virus software may have saved some users of Microsoft Office who share files with Windows users from getting a macro virus in their Word docs, and it might have kept a Mac user from passing on some email virus to some Windows users by forwarding stuff from the Internet. But still.... if you don't use MS Office or forward email junk, you get no benefit and may get some problems.
    Same seems to me to be true of ACLs: it is possible to get a benefit (you can't accidently toss your Movies folder and lose data, assuming you mindlessly empty your Trash and don't have a backup), but an awful lot of people are having an awful lot of problems.

  • Permissions Issues

    I am sure that most of you who read these forums already know about recent updates that create permissions issues. I was not sure how to deal with them and needed to verify for myself what was causing them and to convince myself that they are benign. I just wanted to share the evidence with you that I monitored over a day. Specifically, what is causing these benign permissions errors are three Apple updates: Front Row Update (2.1.7) 13.3 MB (worst offender), iTunes (8.1) 65.4 MB, and iLife Support (9.0.1) 3.7 MB. I assume Apple has heard about this by now. Here are my lengthy test results:

    FINAL CONCLUSION:
    The following installers create unusual Permissions issues that do not seem to go away but seem to not be a danger.
    Front Row Update (2.1.7) 13.3 MB (worst offender)
    iTunes (8.1) 65.4 MB
    iLife Support (9.0.1) 3.7 MB

    GWD2008,
    I too am having permissions issues with Front Row, iTunes, and iLife it happen just after the update. However researching into the problem they are just shortcuts to an original files. Which on the original files Permissions are correct and the reason the permissions are wrong on the shortcuts is because of the little l. I was unable to fix the permission error myself in Terminal and in Finder. And in my opinion as long as the programs are running with no problems its nothing to be to concerned over. As for ACL or SUID files you can just ignore according to apple. See this link: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448
    Resolution
    You can safely ignore any "SUID file" or "ACL found but not expected..." message. These messages are accurate but are not a cause for concern.

  • Updating link to Word Doc is causing a permissions issue

    Hi.  I am attempting to update a link to a Word file, and it is causing a permissions issues in Word when I try to open the Word document back up while the InDesign file is still open.
    Is there any way to link to a Word document that can be worked on while the InDesign file is being worked on?  I think I can use buzzword as an alternative, but I'm looking for the easiest possible solution.
    Thanks!
    Alicia

    Word checks for locked files. In that if another app is using the file, you can not open the file until the other app closes the file. It does this to make sure word has the lastest version of the file. This is partly due to word being using in an office environment were multiple people can be working on the same document.
    Since word is fairly quick to open. You could use the edit original icon in the links panel of InDesign. Make your changes in word once the document opens, then use the keyboard shortcuts ctrl-s to save and alt-F4 to close word.

  • Permissions Issues or Just A Midlife Crisis?

    A little background:  All of my computers are running Windows 8.1 Pro.  I have an HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus Printer.  I'm trying to setup scan-to-computer so I can scan from the printer's front panel to any computer on the network.
    Here's the dilly:  I have two laptops which I installed the full feature driver on from HP's website.  I only use these computers with an administrator account.  There are no other user accounts on the computer.  Works flawlessly.  I'm able to login and scan something from the printer's control panel to the computer right away.
    Here's where it gets a little hairy:  I have two desktops that I've installed the same full feature driver on from HP's website.  On each desktop there is an administrator account and two standard user accounts.  I login with the administrator account.  The software works flawlessly.  I'm able to scan-to-computer right away with no problems at all.  However, when I login to either standard user account I get the following "Scan to Computer is currently unavailable" dialog box everytime I restart the computer or logout and log back in:
    During this time I'm unable to scan anything from the printer control panel to the computer as the printer will not find the computer on the network.  If I leave the dialog box up without dismissing it the message automatically changes to the following "Scan to Computer is enabled" within about a minute or so:
    The dialog box stays up and I have to dismiss it everytime but after it changes to "scan to computer is enabled" I'm able to scan flawlessly to the standard user account without problems.  My question is how do I prevent this dialog box from happening?  Is it something on my end that needs fixed or a bug in the software that only HP can fix?  It seems like maybe I'm having a permissions issue somewhere since this dialog box doesn't pop up for the computer administrator accounts and only pops up for standard user accounts.  

    Thanks for all your responses and help on this.  I was able to resolve this issue on my own in case anyone was wondering (but you probably weren't judging by all your chattiness).
    But in case you were here's what I did:  From each standard user account I had to open the printer software then click on "Utilities" at the top.  From there I clicked on "Printer Setup & Software" and was prompted for the administrator password which I entered.  Then click "Connect a New Printer" and follow the steps to connect a new printer.  Then I restarted the computer and the Scan to Computer dialog boxes for the standard users were gone and I could scan from the printer's front panel!

  • Permissions Issues plague remote access attempts

    I have a couple of networked IMacs in my house. They readily see and connect to each other via OS 10.5.6, being connected to the same router. Usually there are no problems copying files from one Mac to the other or saving changes in work to a second Mac
    EXCEPT...... perpetually frustrating recurrent "Permissions" barriers no matter how hard I try to give myself unrestricted access to my files on one Mac from the second one when using MS Office.
    EXAMPLE: I try to use Microsoft Office 2008 documents stored on one IMac from the 2nd IMac and am not allowed to save changes - not even when I am the owner of the accounts and documents concerned. Furthermore, these documents are opening as Read-Only even though their sharing options have been ticked on in the document settings....
    Microsoft says this is an Apple networking permissions issue and not a fault of their software. They advised me to check the appropriate "share this document" boxes within their files and this I have done. I log in as the Read/Write access owner of a given directory and still I can't save changes in MS documents unless I am operating the Mac where the file actually resides.
    Please, please, can anyone simplify the ESSENTIALS one must perform in Apple Sharing Prefs setup when trying to give one's self unrestricted access to all one's files - with full Read/Write privileges unrestricted - from a second Mac on the same local network ?

    This problem of mine tends to happen only with MS Office files. The MS Word and Excel files that always insist on opening as Read-Only (and Microsoft insisted to me this was because of an Apple Networking permissions issue !!) are within folders that in turn are within higher level folders for which the permissions ( ?? and does this not apple for the whole folder and all its enclosed files and folders ?? ) are set as "Read and Write" for me, for "others" and "everyone" as well. I figured that looked broad enough. Still, though, I am stymied from saving changes though I own the files and both computers involved !!!
    Surely Apple offers users some sort of stripped down (SIMPLE !!!) way of opening up read/write access as broadly as possible for any given networked folder whose own user and owner wishes it to have these broadest possible access permissions - so that surely I as the owner should be able to access.
    I have repeatedl;y repaired permissions but this does not seem to help. I have noticed that sometimes some individual MS documents within a folder whose folder permissions have been opened up have not recognized the broader permissions granted for the whole folder and still have bizarre restrictions.
    Don't all the files within a folder reflect automatically the permissions set for the folder itself ???
    If not, why bother opening up a folder ??

  • HT2963 Can't set JPGs to open in Photoshop not Preview- forum suggested this is Permissions issue

    I've repeatedly used "Open with" > "Other" > "Adobe Photoshop CS4" > "Always Open With" and it works only with that particular JPG. In a Photoshop forum, someone suggested this is a Permissions issue. Is it? If so, how do I fix it? (I have no UNIX-type experience. This is Mavericks OS X 10.9.2.) Thanks to anyone who can help!

    Control (right) - click on the file and select Get Info from the contextual menu:
    In the Info window select Photoshop as the app to open it with and click on the Change All button.
