Permissions issues on folder/file created by impersonation workflow

Hi,
I have used impersonation to create a new
folder, copy a Word
template inside it, and rename the file. Content
management is on but checkin/out is off. When the doc is printed or saved, it should prompt for a label and barcode. The workflow works fine and when I test it the barcode/label works, but when anyone aside else (aside from our admin) tries to
edit the document it downloads to
their desktop and the label/barcode prompt doesn't happen. Also no refresh green arrow icon over the Save command in Word. We are all members of the same Owners group for that library (inherited from parent doc centre site: Full Control, Limited Access) although
I am also a Designer and User.
Any ideas?
Should I start experimenting with unique permissions until
I hit on the right set? There's only 1-3 people who need to be able to edit the documents. I'm not a programmer.
Thanks.

Issue with folder action created with automator

Hello all,
I'm having an issue with folder actions that i created with automator and it's driving me crazy. Apple says they can't help with things created by the user so this is my only shot at figuring this out.
Running a Mini 2.3G quad i7, 8GB ram on OSX Mavericks 10.9.2
My goal is to set up an action to add text to the filename of a file placed into a particular folder. So I open automator and choose folder action. Then I choose the folder I want the action applied to at the top. Then I go to Files and Folders in the library and choose rename finder items and drag it over to the workflow. I select add text, then add the text I want added to the file name and choose before name because I want the added text to preceede the original filename text. I save it then go to the folder I applied it to and right clikc go to services then folder actions and verify that the service is attached to that particular folder and it is.
Should work right? No. When I place a file in that folder the action runs and adds the text like I want it to... but then it starts to add it over and over again in an infinite loop. It also adds a file with the extension .ds_store to the folder that also has the name added over and over.
I've tried deleteing all the folder actions and even deleteing all the folder actions themselves saved by the automator in the workflow file in the user library.
I'm stumped... no idea what to do. A while ago I had used the automator to batch rename files and it worked perfectly. I tried the same steps i listed above to set this action up on a machine in an Apple retail store and it worked... so I know I have the set up right.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Justin

Hi JK257
This is why it happens:
The folder action is looking for new items in the folder. You drop in a file called "File1". So it renames it "sometext File1". Then it sees this new file called "sometext File1" and thinks "Hey, this is a new file - I'll call it 'sometext sometext File1' because I have to rename every new file." Then it sees this new file called "sometext sometext File1" and thinks...
You get the picture.
(the .ds_store is a normally hidden database file which is getting revealed by the same process.)
The solution is to move the files out of the renamer folder into a receiving folder after they have been renamed:
Hope this helps,

File Sharing Permissions Problem When NEW Files Created

My wife & I have a home office network setup for our business, and are having trouble with shared files over the network. We're both on Macs, and all of our client files reside on an internal hard drive in my Mac Pro. I've set her up as a "Sharing Only" user on my computer (which matches the username & password of her account on her iMac), and have properly setup file sharing in both the System Preferences, and in the directory itself that we want shared. I've also applied the permissions to all files & folders below the main folder, and she can view, open and save whatever she needs and it works great.
*Here's where the problem comes in...* If either of us create a NEW file or folder, the other person doesn't have WRITE access to it (we can browse and open it fine). The second I go to update a file she created, it won't let me over-write it, and I have to go into the permissions for that specific file and give myself Read/Write access. I've experimented with "Groups", and assigned both of us a special group, and applied that group access to that directory, but it doesn't make any difference when a NEW file or folder is created - it doesn't copy the parent directory permissions to itself, it makes one of us the owner, and nobody else has access.
Is there any way around this? We're both constantly creating new files, and it really hampers our workflow to have to keep re-applying file permissions every time one of us creates something new. Ideally, any new files created within that main client folder would automatically have the same permissions as the parent directory. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!!

Here's how to do this with Access Control Lists.
1) Go to System Preferences -> Accounts. Unlock the padlock. Click the + button. Make a new group. Call this group "sharing" for the purposes of this exercise. Add the users you want to the group.
2) Make a new empty folder in /Users/Shared. Call it "sharefolder".
3) Log in to an admin account and paste all three of these lines at once into Terminal:
sudo chmod +a "sharing allow delete,chown,list,search,add_file,\
addsubdirectory,delete_child,file_inherit,directoryinherit" \
/Users/Shared/sharefolder
4) From now on, any files you create or copy to the sharefolder or to any of its subfolders will inherit read+write permission for all users in the group. If you have any existing files that you want to move into the sharefolder, a simple move by drag & drop won't cause the permissions to propagate. you need to hold down the option key while dragging them in. This will copy them over, ensuring that the ACL permission is properly inherited.
One other caveat: Files created by a small number of OS X apps won't inherit the permissions properly if saved directly into the ACL folder hierarchy. TextEdit is one such app. Save TextEdit files in a temporary location first, and then copy them in. Then they will have the correct permissions.

Please help! Issues with file permissions on the 'Edit' file created by LR for editing in Photoshop?

I am running a Macbook Pro with Mountain Lion. I use a Netgear ReadyNas as my storage device. I can Save, Re Save, Delete and add files without any concern on the ReadyNas from within PS or LR. However when I use the 'Edit in Photoshop" command on LR. I chose the 'Edit a copy with edits', LR creates the new duplicate 'edit' file in the same directory as the original. It opens in PS, I edit as required, however when I save the file to return to LR, I am informed that the file is locked and that I need to edit settings on file or folder, even though the settings are working for all other edits etc. I have had Netgear on this for 3 hours this evening and they cannot see any issues with the setting on the ReadyNas. Does anyone know what permissions are changed or why they are changing when the file is being created by LR?
Sorry bit of a long winded one - but I hope that all makes sense?

h264 is highly compressed and might be the reason your skimming isn't smooth, it may also take a bit more time to convert. I don't have to worry all that much about space so I haven't particularly tried it and can't say whether there are any drawbacks of doing so.
If you google 'mpegstreamclip tutorials', you will see quite a few tutorials you can look at, they do tend to be specific to one task which may not exactly fit in with what you are trying to do, but looking at a few might give you a better understanding of what some options do and when to use them if at all.

Share permissions issue - users reporting files readonly

I have setup a share and the users need to have access to read,modify, write, delete on the files/folders in the new share. The users. For this:
1. I added the user AD group to the Share Permissions and set 'Change' for the permissions. I noticed that there was already a group called Everyone here and had 'READ' permissions. I did not make any changes to this Everyone group.
2. I added the user AD group to the NTFS Permissions and set 'Modify, Read&Execute, Read, Write' permissions.
It seems the users are seeing the files as 'read only'. They can view and open, but are not able to edit the file. What might be the issue?
Regards

Hi,
I have added share and NTFS permissions the same as yours on a shared folder and I can eide files within the shared folder. Please check the NTFS permissions of the files in the shared folder to see it the NTFS permissions are inherited to the chiled files
from the parent folder.

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?

Time Machine Permissions Issue

Hello,
Here's the deal:
I have accidentely deleted some files from my computer's iChats Folder. I had backed-up my computer prior on Time Machine. I went into Time Machine and found the folder and pressed restore yet it then gives me the error message, "The file XYZ cannot be moved because you don't have access to it." I realize that the problem is a permissions issue with the files. What I don't understand is why it says this if its been backed-up on the same computer all the time. In addition, I can move ANY ONE file from the folders at a time with no problems but when I try to move the whole folder, it doesn't work. PLEASE HELP.
Thanks

anyone???

oh and if you use a creative cloud version of Lightroom it could also be that the logon to the cloud is messed up. Logging out and logging back in from preferences in the creative cloud app will fix that. Due to the release of Lightroom CC it appears that adobe's servers have been overwhelmed a bit And many people have strange problems that are solved by logging out and back in.

Try this it worked for me Pat Willener gave it to me off the site :
I have not read all you wrote, so I may have missed some points. As I understand it, you installed FP 10 on IE7, but it won't play any Flash content?
Try this
download the FP uninstaller from http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_14157
close all browser windows, then run the uninstaller
download the offline ActivX installer for Internet Explorer from http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe
close all browser windows, then run the installer

Can't open files created or pasted by network user in my shared folder, why?

When a user creates a file or drops one over network in my shared folder I can't open it without changing permissions first.
After installing 10.7.3 update Windows computer were not able to access my iMac anymore. After solving that issue this one was left for me to fight with.
I we googled hard and tried all permission repair methods listed, nothing helped.
Files created by Windows SMB users have RW permissions only for that user, an No access for Everyone. There are no permissions defined for me or staff group or anybody.
Thank you for your ideas.

I haven't found a solution to this problem yet. All Windows users now access my Mac with my username, changing permission all the time became annoying. This is not a solution, rather an easy way out.
I Would very much appreciate if someone has a proper solution.

File Sharing - inherit permissions of parent folder

First off, let me say that I'm a UNIX guy so I like the command line. The server admin tool is pretty unfamiliar territory for me..
A friend of mine runs a graphics design firm and he needed a server. I set him up with an Xserve and let me say that it is blazing fast. I am having a problem though..
There are currently two computers on the network, we'll call them users Mark and Jim. If Jim creates a file on the share, then Mark can't modify it and vise versa. This is obviously a permissions issue. Seen it a million times. Now...
the permissions that are carrying over from the workstations are rw-r--r--. I'd like everyone to be able to modify these files on the share.
The share is set up as permission 755 and if a new file/folder is created, I'd like it to pick up these permissions.
I'm confused by this AFS/ACL/ACE vs. POSIX thing. Can someone help me out here?
I had a UNIX server running NFS previously and never saw this problem.

Hi
For a good explanation and understanding of how ACLs work:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1535247
The above is for 10.4 Server. For 10.5 Server:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1234220&tstart=0
If you look here:
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1233
You'll notice a lot of discussions regarding file sharing (the forum itself) and permissions (ACLs, POSIX) problems in particular. These current threads:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1251475&tstart=15
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1428118&tstart=15
may provide more information. There is also some discussion regarding the SMB service itself. In 10.5 it appears to be not fully functioning as it should. It seems access for clients is achievable only if Guest Access is enabled which kind of defeats the whole notion of controlling access. Apple may be addressing these issues in a forthcoming update? You could perhaps research this further? There are numerous online resources available that may be useful:

Unable to save files permissions issue (this file is locked)

This is my first post here so thanks in advance for any help you may be able to offer.
After creating a new secondary admin account I logged into it and wanted to access my documents folder on my main account so I added the new user as having "read and write" permissions for the folder and "applied to enclosed items". This worked however, when i logged back into my main account I am not UNABLE TO MAKE ANY SAVES TO ANY OF MY FILES IN THE DOCUMENTS FOLDER.
This is despite my user account having "read and write access" for the affected files.
Steps taken to solve issues:
1. Removed second account by deleting it through Sytem Prefs. STILL NOT WORKING
2. Applied "read and write" privalliges to the entire docuemnts folder and enclosed items for main admin account. STILL NOT WORKING
3. Used Disc Utilities to run a "repair permissions" on HD. STILL NOT WORKING.
4. Held Command R after restarting in "Repair Mode" - selected terminal and typed "reset password" - from that window I Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. STILL NOT WORKING!
Does anyone know how to solve this issue? I know you can duplicate a file, resave it and it solves it but I have 1000's of files and this would take me weeks.
Many thanks in advance... Lion is 10.7.2 and still a nightmare :-(

When I first started using Oracle9i JDeveloper everything went ok. Then I changed the permissions on my local C: drive and when I saw this caused problems with my swap file I set them back to what they were. Now my problem is that I cannot continue to work on coding as I cannot now save anything in JDeveloper as it keeps saying I cannot save files and that I should check the permissions. Anyone know what my permissions should be ? I have granted uncle Tom Cobbley and all full everythng (CRUD) access to my local disk and this does not seem to have solved the problem. Any ideas ? Steven:
When you changed permissions back, did you propagate the change to subdir and files?
Also, using the explorer, select the file, bring up its properties, and check the 'Security' panel to see if it indeed allows all permissions to everyone.
Thanks.

Permissions issue locks me out of my desktop folder

Hi All.
I have a worrying dilema that I am hoping someone can advise me on.
The symptoms are:
*1. A blank desktop after start-up (files, folders and volumes are not loading)*
*2. It takes an extremely long time for the "Devices", "Shared", and "Places" lists to populate in the open-dialogue sidebar.*
*3. Saving files from applications takes an unusually long time.*
*4. All other apps and non-Finder related activities appear unaffected.*
*5. If I navigate directly to the "Desktop" folder in my user folder in the Finder, it appears as an alias. I double click on it and a window appears which says it is trying to resolve the alias, and soon after I get this permissions error:*
*"The folder “Desktop” can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents."*
So overall this appears to be a permissions issue impacting my desktop directory. A similar thing happened six months ago. On that occasion I tried repairing permissions which didn't help and I ended up creating a new user account and restoring from Time Machine.
I'd prefer not to have to do that again. More so, I'd like to actually fix the root cause this time.
My appreciation in advance for any advise that at least makes my desktop reappear.
Best,
Wade.

Windows XP users moving files creates 000 permissions

Hello.
I am having some difficulty figuring this one out. We have a few labs of dual booting machines, using bootcamp and bootpicker. Using an AD/OD triangle (AD authentication, OD home directories) The windows clients all remap to the os x server for their home directories. I am getting odd behavior on the OS X Server when a client moves a file inside Windows XP.
When somone makes a file in XP and saves it to their network home it comes across with the proper permissions. However, if that file or any other file is clicked and dragged into a folder inside of XP (on the OS X Server) the permissions become 000, "none" all the way across. Also the ACL's become duplicated, in this instance the admin had read only, but in Server Admin when I looked at the file there were three instances of the admin's ACL for the file after the file "zeroed".
Creating new files is fine, and if you right click and say copy then paste the permissions are correct. It's only when you click and drag a file that the permissions go awry. Since creating new files and folders works as it should, does anybody have any ideas what to look at for why a file being moved would cause the permissions to be erased?
Hardware:
Mac Pro running 10.5.8 server.
XServe RAID hosting home directories
iMacs dual booting 10.5.8 and fully updated XP.
Software:
OD on 10.5.8 server with augmented AD users.
Windows XP desktops authenticating against AD via PGINA with OD hosted homes.

Issue in moving files from data fodler to processed folder in background

Hi All,
I am facing one issue in moving files from data fodler to processed folder in case of background execution.
When i am executing the file in the foreground, i can move the file from Data folder to processed folder. I am using SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE FM to move the file from data folder to processed folder. I can see the file in processed folder once the program is executed.
But in case of executing the same program in background, it is giving me the error "Failed to move the file to processed folder" in the spool of SM37 and i can see the file still laying in data folder.
I tried to check other programs which acesses the same folder as the above program, whether they are able to move. They are able to move the file to processed fodler successfully both in foreground and background mode.
Please help me in resolving this issue.
Thanks,
Deepa

Processed file path
p_proc TYPE localfile.
Declare the Types to file data
TYPES: BEGIN OF L_X_OUTPUT,
