Prevent user from installing fonts

I work in a newspaper enviorment. Machines are set up with two users, Admin and Standard user. I'd like to keep the user fonts in their User>library>Font folders, but would like them to NOT be able to install fonts. We have specified purchased fonts, and do not want any questionable fonts installed.
Any way to accomplish this?
Thanks

Maybe parental controls, but I don't know. Alternatively, set the corporate policy and severely reprimand/fire any violators. Treat them like kids and they'll act that way; treat them as adults and they should act accordingly.

How do I restrict users from installing applications?

Or more specifically, yahoo messenger. I can't seem to figure this one out. Two user settings on our machines (public and admin), public does not have admin priveleges, so cannot make modifications like installing applications, but someone seems to keep installing messenger all the same. I investigated and figured out that it seems like when logged onto the public account, one can still install applications in their user/applications folder without needing to authenticate. or maybe Yahoo Messenger doesn't read as an application, so it doesn't need authetication? I am trying to make it so no one can install any application without admin priveleges.

"Parental Controls" works on a "white list" principle, so if an app isn't available in the "Accounts" pref pane, it shouldn't be accessible for the "managed" user because the default is to deny everything not on the list.
But also be aware that the type of "Parental Controls" you have selected may affect the user's ability to use a given programme. For example, if the "Allow supporting programmes" checkbox is selected, it may be possible to launch indirectly a programme that hasn't been approved explicitly.
Also, note that a "Simple Finder" account doesn't (and isn't intended to) restrict application access at all, whereas a "Some Limits" account does.
And as "Keith Gaboury1" points out, if a given service allows access through a web interface, restriction of a programme on the local computer won't have any effect.
"Parental Controls" are somewhat effective in preventing users from using unauthorized programmes, but as far as preventing the installation of apps, that is something that would be fairly difficult to do if the user is to have a functional account. If a user can save files to a directory (such as their home folder or "/Users/Shared" or the "admin" user's "Drop Box"), it would be possible for them to install an application there. There are ways of preventing executables in the user's own "home" from functioning, but then they could always run an app from a CD or a flash drive or a disk image instead (I'm not sure how to block those). So the "white list" approach of controlling application use (as opposed to installation) is probably the best compromise.

How to prevent user from deactivating the adobe software

I am working in a training center, We've got 20 machines here installed with Adobe CS3 production premium (not using network license). The problem now i foresee is the software deactivate problem, i found user can deactivate the adobe software even they dont have XP administrator rights.
And what i know about activation of adobe software is that there is a limit of activation count of 30 tries and after that i have to call the adobe technical support for help.
Is there any way that i can prevent user from deactivating the software in terms of registry modification or what other kinds of method.
Thanks
Ivan

If you have 20 machines I assume you have a volume license, which does not require de/activation anyway.
If you have 20 separate licences... well, the only thing I can think of is to block the Adobe Activation domains of adobe.com through the firewall of your network. You should probably contact Adobe directly for more specific info.

How to prevent users from running PRC: Transaction Import from WebADI form?

Hi,
We are 12.1.3 and trying to create a workflow to approve Project transactions coming through web ADI before they become effective. To this end, we want to prevent users from running the PRC: Transaction Import from the Web ADI.
I know that if the checkbox Automatically run transaction import is not checked, the program does not run. But we want to hide this checkbox and not allow the possibility that the program could get triggered.
To this end, we updated the BNE_INTEGRATORS_B with source='C'. This allows you to edit the integrator from Desktop Integration Manager.
UPDATE BNE_INTEGRATORS_B SET SOURCE ='C' WHERE INTEGRATOR_CODE ='PAXTTRXB'
In the 4th step, where the value for Uploader Parameters is set, we have set boolean value to No. These are the fields on the page:
Parameter Name: bne:import
Display Name: Start Transaction Upload
Data Type: Boolean
Category: Field
Default Value: Boolean Flag: No
Description: start Transaction Import Concurrent Request
Display Options: Displayed: Unchecked
Display Options: Enabled: Checked
Display Options: Required: Checked
Prompt Left: Automatically submit Transaction import
Display Type: Check Box
Maximun Size: 100
Display Size:100
Now the checkbox is not appearing for the user to check it, But the program is automatically running when you hit Upload in the WebADI.

Hi ,
Try removing the PRC: Transaction Import Program from the request group for the responsibility used by customers to submit the WebADI and then check if the program launches.

Raghavan

Hi All, We are in to Release 11.5.10.2.There is a specific requirement to Prevent users from creating Manual Sales Orders in oracle and yet users should be able to book the Sales Orders Imported from CRM system into Orcale.Please advise.

Hi All, We are in to Release 11.5.10.2.There is a specific requirement to Prevent users from creating Manual Sales Orders in Oracle and yet users should be able to book the Sales Orders Imported from CRM system into Orcale.Please advise.

Thanks for your advise.
However, I missed to mention that we have two set of users One is for Finished Goods and another for Spares.
Only Spares users need to be prevented from creating Direct/Manual Sales Orders in Oracle.
As you suggested, if this will be done at Form level, that may Disallow FG users also to create Manula Sales Orders which should not be the case.
Further, I tried to test one scenario through Processing Constraints but it did not work.

How do I prevent users from being able to update Firmware

I have several users (14) with iPad 2 and they rely on an in-house developed App. we have yet to test this App on iOS 5.1 and therefore want to avoid any of the users updating the iPads at all cost!
this question is in two parts:
How can I prevent users from upgrading firmware themselves short of just asking nicely?
How can I stop the iPad from automatically downloading the Upgrade when I deploy a Policy using the iPhone Configuration Utility?
Any advice would be great!

We've been looking at the AirWatch mdm and have been told it has this capability. Not sure if it would be justified from an economic standpoint for you, however.

Is there any way to prevent users from ship confirming on a particular date?

Hello All,
We have a requirement to prevent users from ship confirming on a particular date. This is due to they are performing Annual Physical Inventory.
Is it possible to restrict users performing shipping transactions on this particular date?
I have tried adding exception to the existing Calendar set at org level and there is no customer specific Calendar defined, however it is still allowing me to perform ship confirm.
Please let me know if you have any suggestion on this requirement.
Thanks

Hi,
Yes is Possible.
You can add An Exception in Your Shipping Calender.
So when Some one tries to ship an Order on that date Oracle will automatically select Next possible date.
Thanks

How to prevent users from saving and emailing intranet documents externally

Someone in our company needs to upload a pdf to our sharepoint intranet site for internal-only use. How can I prevent users from downloading it and emailing it externally?
I mean, a user could screenshot it I guess, but I need to give management a due diligence answer.

You would need to look into a reverse proxy/firewall that had the ability to block access based on content. This isn't something you can accomplish out of the box with SharePoint (even with AD RMS).

How can SAP be configured to prevent users from consuming locks?

How can SAP be configured to prevent users from consuming locks?
The issue is that we want to prevent users to use upto maximum locks and so that we will not get lock table overflow issue. I know that we can assign parameter "enque/table_size" a good amount of value. But it is not for any specific user.
Also want to alert in CCMS if any user reaches to its maximum speficified limit of locks.
Thanks
Gopesh

You cannot set a limit of locks per user. There are two ways to reduce/control the number of locks:
- change fewer records within one transaction
- cover more records with one lock using wildcards
Basically it is an application / development issue.

To prevent user from droping any object from a sepacific schema

Dear User
I have a database user like "aaa" in oracle 7.3.4.0.1 database.i do not want user "aaa" to drop his own schema objects like table and any other objects that he is owner.Do i have any system privilege to stop this user from doing so.User should be able to create objects and modify object but not to drop any object.For this purpose i have created a database trigger at database level to stop user "aaa" for doing above action.this trigger is giving me error on creation in oracle 7.3.4.0.1 .But when i tried same trigger in oracle 8i and 9i it work well.In oracle 8i and 9i it is preventing user from droping his own objects but i get other errors also along with raised error in trigger which i want to stop .The error which i am raising in trigger is
ORA-20001 INVALID COMMAND BUT OTHER TWO ERRORS THAT R RAISED AUTOMATICALLY ARE
ORA-00604 ERROR OCCURED AT RECURSIVE SQL LEVEL 1
AND
ORA-06512 AT LINE 8
I WANT TO STOP THESE TWO ERRORS .
PLZ HELP ME IN THIS REGARD AS SOON AS POSSBILE .
Thank u.

Given that you have not posted your code it is very difficult to know why you are getting these errors.
Howver, I can take a guess. If I were trying to implement this functionality I would build a database event trigger that fired whenever a DROP command was issued and cause that command to fail. If this is the approach you've taken I think you are out of luck, as I belive DDL triggers were introduced in Oracle 8.
Mind you, it's been a long time since I worked on Oracle7, so I might be wrong. In which case post your code, don't make me guess again.
Cheers, APC

Hi
DBAs can use PRODUCT_USER_PROFILE (in system schema) to disable certain SQL and SQL*Plus commands in the SQL*Plus environment on a per-user basis. SQL*Plus, not Oracle, enforces this security. DBAs can even restrict access to the GRANT, REVOKE, and SET ROLE commands in order to control users' ability to change their database privileges.
The PRODUCT_USER_PROFILE table enables you to list roles which you do not want users to activate with an application. You can also explicitly disable use of various commands, such as SET ROLE. For example, you could create an entry in the PRODUCT_USER_PROFILE table to:

CE10 how to prevent user from view hostrical instance

hi,
We are currently using CE10. One of our user used search functionality in enterprise to search for reports start with 'employee' and it came back with all the crystal reports on the server that started with employees, even the one the user doesn't have access to. My greatest concern about this is that users can view historical instance and it is sensitive data. Does anybody know whether or not this is a bug in CE10? Is there a patch/fix for this? Is there any configuration change that I can make to
prevent users from being able search all the reports on the server rather just their own reports? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Susan

hi,
I have an EVERYONE group with limited access(view object), and EVERYONE group is added to each folder with NO ACCESS. If I revoke view object(explicitly denied) privilege from EVERYONE group, do I still need to remove EVERYONE group from each folder? When I'm at folder level in CMC, I see EVERYONE GROUP added, but when I tried to remove the EVERYONE GROUP, the EVERYONE group is not an option for removal. What am I missing?
Thanks for your help!

How to prevent user from creating jobs

Hi,
we need to prevent user from creating jobs on a dev enviorement. It's a 10.2.0.4 database standard on linux 64bits.
Their schema has only connect and resource roles. Is there a way to prevent them from creating jobs? In 11g it's the CREATE JOB permission, but in 10g i'm not sure how can i do this.
Thanks for any ideas!

On 10g it's probably the CREATE JOB as well.

How to prevent users from creating new folders in share folder directory?

Hello guys
I'd like to know How to prevent users from creating new folders in share folder directory but still keep their power of creating new folders in their personal 'my folder'?
I tried changing the 'manage privilage ---- create folder' to deny certain user accounts, but by doing so, it also stops the user from creating new folders in their 'my folder', which is not good..
I also tried going into these share folders and tried different access types such as 'change/delete', 'read', 'traverse folder' etc, but none of it work ideally. The 'change/delete' access still allows them to create new folders, 'read' access prevents creating new folders but also take away their power of saving reports..
Any thoughts on how to take away their ability to ONLY create new folders in share folder areas without affecting their other privileges?
Please advise
Thank you

Easy, on the shared folders root folder only give them 'read' or 'traverse folder' but on the the folder inside the shared folders root folder give them 'change/delete'. That means they can change anything inside those folders but not create any folders at the shared folders root level.

Sales Order - Prevent user from creating more that one schedule line

Hello,
Is it possible to prevent users from adding lines (rows) in the schedule line tab of VA01/VA02 ? Our requirement is that one item will have one only schedule line, the quantity cannot be split into different dates.
Regards,
Joã

Hi
There are 2 schedule lines with different dates for a single line item in a sales order because of forward scheduling done by the system
System does backward scheduling first and if it fails then it does forward scheduling and that is why you find 2 different schedule lines
In configuration you can restrict the system to do only backward scheduling and stop after that
I am not infront of SAP now to tell you exactly where is the configuration available
I think it is Logistics execution--delivery scheduling
But This config is definately available in standard system to avoid 2 or more schedule lines for a single line item in a sales order
But i am not able to understand what is the business logic for such a requirement because i feel it will create a lot of problems
with this requirement
Regards
Raja
