Read Only for "Group" and "Others" via SMB

I see when Windows vista users of my OS X 10.5.8 server save a file to the server, the permissions show on the server as Read & Write for the owner and Read Only for 'Group' and 'Others'.
Is there a way I can make the OS X server always make 'Group' and 'Others' always be Read & Write?
Thanks!

It's using a shared component LOV cleverly called LOV_YN which consists of a static LOV with
1 Display=Yes, Return=Y
2 Display=No, Return=N
The settings in the LOV section on the item iteself:
Named LOV: LOV_YN
Display Extra values: No Dynamic translation: Not translated
Number of columns: 2 Display null: No
Null display value is blank as is null return value
Item was setup as a radio group and was only converted over to a select list to work around this issue. Let me know what else you need and thanks again.

Change public share access to read only for public and full access to selected users

Hi, new to the community just purchased a recertified WDMyCloud 2TB after my 2 years old MyBookLive 2TB HD died due to accidental power cable unplugging. I've got everything setup including MiniDLNA by following instructions on this forum and everything is working exactly as I want it to except public share. I want public share to be set to read only access for public and full access to certain users (just myself at the moment) and having a "upload" folder within this share with full public access to everything in this folder would be a bonus. I tried login in to ftp with root user and removing write permission for public but that blocks me out as well. I'm sure it's possible by doing some majic on SSH but I wouldn't have a clue so hoping someone here would be able to help me out.

What i want is public to have read only access to file server. Public as in users who do not have a user account on mycloud. E.g someone who connects to to my home network for the first time and is able to browse and download content from public share. I'm aware of being able to set indivual access to shares for users like full access, read only and no access but public users won't have a user account.Through the My Cloud UI interface what you seek to do is not possible. The public share like all other share folders are an all or nothing affair when using the adminstration UI. When using the administration UI you do not have granular control on shared folders to limit non users to read only access or set permission levels for subfolders. The workaround to do what you seek and have the public folder set for read only is to change the folder settings via SSH. It may take some work to set the folder security so that users can read/write to the public folder while the guests only have read access. However, if you reboot the WD My Cloud or update the WD My Cloud firmware those settings may be reset back to the default settings where the entire public folder is read/write for all. There are way to prevent this but again it will take a bit of coding to do so via SSH. See this link (even though its for the WD My Book Live) for a starting point on how to use SSH to change the permission levels on the public folder. Another option if one doesn't go the SSH route is to turn off public sharing for the public folder then create a "guest" user account and give that "guest" account read only access to the public folder while all other user accounts have full read/write access.

Security: Read-only for USB and FireWire

Is there a way to secure the external data ports on a Mac so you can't write to a USB and/or FireWire drive? Obviously we need the SATA / InternalHD to be regular read/write. I've swapped out the optical drive so it is a read-only device, but it would be nice to have a solution that prevents writing to optical media as well.

I found two links that provide a solution.
http://images.apple.com/server/macosx/docs/TigerSecurity_Config021507.pdf
http://images.apple.com/server/macosx/docs/LeopardSecurity_Config20080530.pdf
I can't find the page(s) that reference these PDFs, so you have to download them directly.
Within the two documents are information about "removing support for mass storage devices" by trashing certain files (IOUSBMassStorageClass.kext for USB and IOFireWireSerialBusProtocolTransport.kext for FireWire).
One caveat seems to be that these files may be restored through system updates, so you need to write a login script (script provided in Leopard PDF) to ensure they are removed or simply be aware of the issue when installing system updates.

Possible to make an item editable for certain users and read only for other

Is it possible to make an item editable for certain users and read only for others?
I've been able to accomplish this by taken the select statement that I used to define an authorization scheme, placing it in the Read Only condition of the item. However, I would like to simply reference the authorization scheme to utilize caching, and to help keep things cleaner for future maintenance.
Is it possible to reference an authorization scheme in an item condition similar to the way another item can be referenced by preceding it with a colon (i.e. :P1_First_Name)?

Thank you, your suggestion worked.
It would be nice on a future release of APEX if a drop-down box existed under the Ready Only section that would allow an existing Authorization Scheme to be selected or negated when applying the Read Only attribute to a form item.

Howto make created folders/ files from one teacher, read only for other teachers?

Hello there,
as an admin @ school I was wondering how to make created folders/ files from one teacher, read only for other teachers?
- In a 2008domain, created a group "teachers"
- created a folder "teacher data" where all teachers have read/write permissions
ideal,a teacher who make's a folder in "teacher data" should be the only oen who is able to add file's to that folder and dele that folder or files. Other teachers may be able to read the content of the folder.
Is this possible to set up and how?
many thanks.
Nico.

Hi Nico,
You could set the permissions below to resolve the issue:
For the root folder "teacher data": give the full control permission to CREATOR OWNER – "Subfolders and files only" and give the read/write permissions to the group "teachers"– "This folder only".
Best Regards,
Mandy

Suggestions required for Read-only cache group in timesten IMDB cache

Hi
In IMDB Cache , If the underlying oracle RAC is having two schemas ( "KAEP" & "AAEP" , having same sturcture and same name of objects ) and want to create a Read-only cache group with AS pair in timesten.
Schema
    KAEP
Table
    Abc1
    Abc2
    Abc3
Schema
    AAEP
Table
    Abc1
    Abc2
    Abc3
Can a read-only cache group be created using union all query ?
The result set of the cache group should contain both schema records in timesten read-only cache group will it be possible ?
Will there be any performance issue?

You cannot create a cache group that uses UNION ALL. The only 'query' capability in a cache group definition is to use predicates in the WHERE clause and these must be simple filter predicates on the tables in the cache group.
Your best approach is to create separate cache groups for these tables in TimesTen and then define one or more VIEWS using UNION ALL in TimesTen in order to present the tables in the way that you want.

MY Hard Drive says_"YOU CAN READ ONLY" for the OWNERSHIP AND PERMISSSIONS!

I cannot add anything to my EXTERNAL (SimpleDrivePS) hard drive. When I try to copy something to it, it says "The item cannot be moved because SimpleDrivePS cannot be modified."
Upon control-clicking this external hard drive's icon, under "Get info" it says "You can read only" for it's "Ownership and Permissions."
I have used this hard drive with Windows-based computers, but not with this new Apple yet.
What do I need to do so that I can move or copy things to this external hard drive?
Also, is there a discussion room for just general questions? - There are many little things that I wonder how to do from time to time as I am trying to become accustomed with Apple, like shortcut key for desktop, or where is control panel or link to "my computer" or other shortcut keys - things like that.

Hi newsppler;
Since I have never had a disk that was formatted NTFS, I am not absolutely sure exactly how you can discover how it is formatted. I think if you look at the disk with Disk Utility that should tell you.
Yes. If you reformat you will lose everything that is currently on that disk.
To reformat open Disk Utility and then select the disk. You then click the partition tab. This will allow you to select what format you wish to use. I would suggest Mac OS Extended +

WHY FREE ITUNES PRODUCTS ARE AVAILABLE ONLY FOR USA AND NOT FOR OTHER USERS OUTSIDE USA

I am so impressed wit the welcome page saying "Join the conversation. Share tips and solutions with fellow Apple product users from all around the world."
Apple mentioned for their products users around the world but many of their free itunes products are available only for USA and not for the users from the other side of the globe?
Is this Apple a fair and customer oriented company or full of bias and Only money oriented company.
If apple could not make thier other FREE stuffs available outside US territory then better for thsi company to just sell their products in USA. its just so disgusting... If we need a certain apps (FREE APPS) available only for US based users.
If you think US users and other country users are paying the same prices for their iPad 3G/4G WIFI 64GB and iPhone 3G/4G 64 GB like hat I did having the 2 gadgets altogether but my investment ends to disgusting as the apple company cound not treat people equal then..... I want to return all this **** stuffs

Read-only radio group losing value on validation error

It took quite a while to track this down, but I think I've got it narrowed down properly. I have an APEX form for updating a record in a databse table with a radio group which is conditionally read-only. If that radio group has a value AND is read-only, when the form is submitted and hits a validation error, the value of the radio group is lost.
For example, the radio group SUBMITTED_FOR_APPROVAL is set to Y and is read-only for a given user. That user then changes something else on the form and submits it. However, the form now hits a validation error for some field. When the form reloads with the validation error displayed, all the fields are restored except the read-only radio group which is now blank. If a select list is used with the identical read-only condition, it works fine. Likewise, if a radio group is used, but the read-only condition is removed, it works fine. It is only when it is a radio group and it is read-only, that the value does not appear to be submitted to the session with all the form values whent he form is submitted.
Is this a bug or am I simply missing something?

Can a Column in a Project Plan be set to Read Only for everyone except Admins

At my company the Project Server Admins create the initial project plans. We want to add a new column that will designate each task in the plan as Capital or Operational. We do not want anyone to have the ability to change these.
When the Project Managers need additional tasks on their plans they will need to copy an existing one in order to have this piece of information pre-populated on their new tasks, since we do not want them deciding what the task should be themselves and populating
the field as they create tasks.

In addition to Dale's excellent answer, I'd mention that it is possible to make a column "read-only" for certain security groups in MS Project Pro with VBA code.
That being said, I'd suggest to follow Dale's advice using a "soft" solution.
Hope this helps,

All USB drives mount as read only for user

I have searched a bunch and thee results I find seem to be irrelevant to my situation. Most relate to a single USB media that is a problem and won't read or write.
On a new Arch install on a new computer (my third base system install). Running Gnome.
All USB mass storage devices mount as read only for the logged in user. Root has write permissions and I can mkdir no problem. It is not an issue with the USB drive itself as this occurs with multiple USB media (I've tested several SD cards on a reader and at least two drives, all the media works correctly on my existing installations)
I'm posting the contents of my /etc/group file in case there's an obvious error there I don't see, and my dmesg output upon plugging in the drive. User name is changed in the group file posted to "archie"
This is a single-user system.

I'm sure I'm just missing something in user management, but I can't find what.

I am also having the same problem. Root can read and write to automounted drives, but my user cannot. I've tried with a variety of drives, I am assuming they are being automounted by root instead of the logged-in user somehow. (I am running x directly, and am not using a display manager, if that has anything to do with it).
When I look at how it is mounted it is as follows:
/dev/sdc1 on /run/media/myuser/drivename type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,uid=1000,gid=1000,fmask=0022,dmask=0077,codepage=437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,showexec,utf8,flush,errors=remount-ro,uhelper=udisks2)

How to make form field read only for users with certain permissions

We need to make two form fields read only for users with certain permissions. Kindly guide me on how to do this in Infopath. I searched and there is an option to disable to the column, but no option to select user permissions.
Please give your suggestion on this.
thanks.

Hi,
See the link below:
http://info.akgroup.com/blog-0/bid/69277/InfoPath-Restrict-visibility-to-users-in-a-SharePoint-Group
Here you can add the fomatting action on the field to disable the field if those users belong to certain Sharepoint group (does not matter the permission levels though). Hope it helps.

Can't get read-only access to my switches via http

I set up a couple of users for read-only access to our switches via their web browsers. I set this up in Network Assistant. However when we try to log in, only a level 15 user is allowed to log in and there doesn't seem to be any way change this.
I know in Network Assistant, you can choose which user level you want, but I don't see any way to do it via the web interface.
What am I missing here?

Implementing security within a switching environment is less intuitive than in a router. Switches, by design, tend to recognize only two levels of administrative access - user exec mode or privileged exec mode. Implementation of security at different access levels, level 15, etc, can be tricky and should be done at the command prompt, not in the GUI.
You should reset your config and do not use Network Assistant for this purpose; it is "buggy."

Dynamically making read only for a field in get_data(CL_EHHSS_INC_BINFA_UI_FRM)

Hi Experts,
I am making read only for a field based on condition in get_data method of class CL_EHHSS_INC_BINFA_UI_FRM.
But it is not working. Pls find the code for the same.
LOOP AT CT_FIELD_USAGE INTO lw_field WHERE NAME = 'OC_INC_TYPE'.
   lw_field-read_only = ABAP_TRUE.
   MODIFY ct_field_usage FROM lw_field TRANSPORTING read_only.
   ev_field_usage_changed = 'X'.
ENDLOOP.
Pls help me what is wrong in this coding.
Regards,
Reny Richard

Hi Richard,
Please check if   this loop is executing for the correct desired event(say on click or from the start ). & the field name specified is correct or not through debugging. And check by placing the parameter ev_field_usage_changed = 'X'. after the loop statement.
Below is a sample code for making the field read only.
field-SYMBOLS: <fs_field> like line of CT_FIELD_USAGE.
   loop at CT_FIELD_USAGE ASSIGNING <FS_FIELD>.
     case <FS_FIELD>-NAME.
     when 'OC_INC_TYPE'. " name of the field
         <FS_FIELD>-READ_ONLY = 'X'.                " ' ' for editable
     ENDCASE.
CV_FIELD_USAGE_CHANGED = abap_true.
