Read Only Permissions Error

Hi Guys
I have a major problem with file saving permissions
Current setup:
- 5 imac (10.6)
- 1 mac book pro (10.6)
- mac xserver
- Direct attached Raid Array
Issue:
When user "A" creates new files and folders to the shared drive on the raid array it automatically defaults to read only for all other users, and any time they try to add/delete/create files or folders in the fold user "A" created they get a permissions error. Therefor everybody else cannot edit the files
E.g. user A and user B quite often work on documents together and when user A stores it in the folder user A created then user B can only read it
has anybody come across this error before?
also i have tried changing permissions in get info as it defaults to read only soon as i change it to read and write and close the get info box it reverts back to read only ( the permissions group in called everybody)
Any help would be much appreciated

You can try propagating the permissions on the root of the share, new files should inherit permissions from the parent folder, if that doesn't help, maybe try something with the umask

  • Can't copy files from NTFS volume with Read Only permissions?

    I am trying to copy files from an NTFS volume used previously for Windows onto another volume which is Mac OS X Extended...
    However, certain files fail to copy due to the fact that I 'don't have permission to access some of the items'...
    So I found the items which are causing the issue and viewed the permissions for them which display as 'You can only read'... I presume I am correct taking these as read-only permissions which (to my knowledge) should allow the files/folders to be copied accross to a new volume assuming that the existing volume is left without any changes attempted.
    So can anyone suggest to me why this is? And how I might rectify the issue?
    Thanks in advance

    Ok I've just worked out that 'You can only read' is referring to the fact that I can only view permissions but not add any. Below this statement, no permissions are listed which may explain why I cannot access the files but does not explain why I can copy/access some files, also with no permissions...

  • VB Appointments.Subject Read-Only? + Error

    I'm attempting to write a little VB code to send an appointment. Here is what I have so far....
    Code:
    Private Sub CreateButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles CreateButton.Click
    Dim gwApplication As GroupwareTypeLibrary.Application2
    Dim gwAccount As GroupwareTypeLibrary.Account2
    Dim objAppointment As Appointment
    gwApplication = New GroupwareTypeLibrary.Application2
    'Use code below to give login prompt.
    'gwAccount = gwApplication.Login
    objAppointment = gwAccount.WorkFolder.Messages.Add("GW.MESSAGE.APPOINTMENT")
    objAppointment.Subject = "A Test Place"
    End Sub
    However, with objAppointment.Subject it is telling me that Subject is read-only and won't let me compile it in VB Express Edition. Why would subject be read only? I've seen other code on these boards and actually some of this code is borrowed from what I saw. However, those people don't mention this issue.
    Also if I try another field that isn't supposed to be read-only like this...
    Code:
    objAppointment.Place = "A Test Place"
    It gives me this error when running the code...(This is the full details of the error, so it's a lot of data.)

  • DI API - accessing objects with Read only permissions

    Scenario: I have setup a user in B1 with "Read Only permissions" on the Business Partner. When I log into the DI API as this user and try instantiating the BP object, I get a message "Loged on user does not have permissions".
    Why am I getting this? Shouldnt I be able to instantiate the object and read the property values. i understand that I cannot Add or Update because of read only permissions.
    Is there a way we can retreive values for users using the DI API or should the best option be to write a SQL statement.
    Thanks,
    Gopal

    Requiring the user to have full authorization to instantiate an object is a serious limitation for the DI API. It makes it virtually useless. After all it is supposed to be OOP and all the trimmings isn’t it? It also takes a lot of control away from the user.

    Hi,
    I have confirmation from B1 product definition, the DI API access for objects with Read only permissions will not be included in the 2007A version. It will be considered for the following version after 2007A.
    There is a chapter called "Authorization Checks" in the SDK Help file specifying:
    "SAP Business One performs authorization checks for the business objects and the infrastructure and meta data objects. If a user does not have full authorization to access the objects in SAP Business One, the user will not have permission to access the data belonging to the business objects using the DI API."

  • Files copied from other PC getting "read only" permissions

    I have a PC running Fedora and Samba and when I drag a folder from the Finder onto my desktop it gets "Read Only" permissions. I cant remember that this happened with 10.5.1 or Tiger.
    Anyone having the same problem or know how to fix it?

    Try clicking "File>Get info" on the file, and look at it's permissions. Clicking the lock lets you change them, providing you have the right credentials.

  • Startup command starts database but alter database open read only gives error

    Hi,
    I'm having some strange behavior. I've 10.2.0.3 database on windows 2003.
    The startup command starts database without any issues.
    But if I try following it gives error.
    startup mount (successful no errors)
    alter database open read only; gives error that file Mnnnnnn is missing.
    Why this is happening and how to fix it?
    Thanks.

    You really need to show us exactly what Oracle is telling you, using copy and paste, so we can have some clue.  You can hide details like instance and host names if they show up.
    I'm wondering if you had some messed up offline datafile in a tablespace, where Oracle handles it with startup, but gets upset when you try to open read-only.  It's some bizarro sequence of events like: add a datafile to a tablespace, decide that was a mistake, alter it offline, then remove it from the OS without telling Oracle any more about it.  I've come back from vacation to find scenarios like this, it winds up being a time-bomb trying to recreate a standby later.  Or something like that, I could be unremembering some details.

  • Read only permissions

    one of my testing team requested for read only permissions on database, so what are the permissions that i can grant to them. Just to see the database tables .....

    Well depending on how often you expect this type of request to come up people often create a role to handle the grants.
    Two things to consider.
    1. Do you care that they can access any table on the database...that includes the system tables?
    If not then you can grant them create session and select any table.
    However, I find this to extreme at times, but often the "easy" way out.
    2. You can grant them select on only that tables you will them to be able to read.
    grant select on owner.table_name to user_name;
    and of course the create session privilege.
    Now people often find this to be a pain because for each new table they have to grant the select again. However, you can probably search google or create your own script that selects the table name from dba_tables and have it create all the grant lines in another script that you can run. Something like
    set pagesize 0
    set linesize 200
    set echo off
    set feedback off
    spool /tmp/grantsql.sql
    select 'grant select on '||&tableOwner||'.'||table_name||' to '||&grantingTo||';' from dba_tables where owner='&tableOwner';
    spool off
    set echo on
    set feedback on
    @/tmp/grantsql.sql

  • External WD Hard Drive suddenly Read only - Permissions Issue and Error 50

    After completing a recent OS update, I noticed my WD, External HD was no longer accessible. When trying the run a backup, via Time Machine, I would see the following error: "Time Machine Error. The backup volume is read only." If I tried the open the back up drive to see individual files, I would receive an error suggesting I did not have sufficient privileges to access the drive. Apple tech. support suggested I lot into my computer as the "root" user. Once I did this, I still received the Time Machine error, but, could open the Back Up drive in Finder and access files. It was still impossible to add files to the back up drive, but, at least they're accessible. Lastly, I would click the "Get Info"option for the backup drive. Once in the Info window, I would choose the sharing and Permissions tab. All privileges are set to "Custom". When I try to change them to "Read/Write" I see the following error, "The Operation could not be completed. An expected error occurred (error code -50). The tech. Apple tech. support rep. was stumped. Any ideas? Thanks so much.

    Your backups may be corrupted.

  • Error when mapping drive with read only permissions - unc path works fine

    Hello,
    we have user shares that we map to drive H:. the shares are in the form \\server\user\<loginname>. The shares have full permission and the files and folders have full permission for the user. To be clear, the shared folder is \\server\user. <loginname>
    are several folders, one for each user.
    We use a vb script to check if a user stores too much data and if yes, we set the permissions for the user to read only and delete (with icacls).
    Unfortunately, it this happens, we cannot map the drive anymore on Windows 7 (on Windows XP it works fine). The error is "Permission denied". Interestingly, the user can still open the share with the unc - path.
    Is there anything I can do, so that the user still has his drive mapped? Most user are not tech savvy enough to open their share with the unc - path.
    Thank You,
    Peter

    Hi Peter,
    Sorry for the delay in reply.
    Please disable User Account Control in windows 7 to see if you can see the map drive. In the meantime, I suggest to use GPP instead of logon script to map drive.

  • External drive goes read only with error -50 after time

    Running the special release of 10.8.2 for Mac Mini (2012) that was recently released.  I have two external USB drives.  The first contains my iTunes collection and the second is my time machine backup disk.  The iTunes drive seems to go read only after it's been mounted awhile.  I can read files off the drive, but I can't make any changes.  I can't delete files nor edit them. 
    If I try to do anything with the disk including a repair permissions or disk on it, I get an error -50.   The only way to get out of this state is to unmount the drive and remount it forcibly or reboot. 
    Anyone have ideas on what is going on or experienced a similar issue?  

    I did a little more research and there are quite a few people who've seen this error.  I don't think it's the drive. 
    I suspect the controller in the enclosure, a jmicron 0x2336, is responsible for my problems.  It looks like Linux and FreeBSD both had software updates to work around bugs in the controller.  If OS X did not get updated, it would explain everything. The drive sleeps and then won't wake up fully and OS X marks it as in error and goes read only. 
    The enclosure is a Thermaltake Silver II USB + esata.  It looks like a lot of people have had similar problems with them.  I saw posts on macrumors, adobe's support forums, etc.

  • Read-Only Permissions for Everyone?

    We're running xServe / Tiger 10.4.11.
    We're using ACLs and have all users in a group with Read / Write Permissions. Across the board, no matter who creates a new document or directory, anytime a new file is created it's permissions are Read-Only for everyone except the author.
    I've checked the permissions in the ACL and everything is set to Read / Write. So why are the permissions defaulting to Read-Only?

    Hi,
    You could have a look at the thread below. Lucas used ProcMon that shows an access denied with the user which he was using.  Permission via group wasn't enough. Give your user full share/security access and everything works fine.

  • Boot: read-only filesystem error

    Hi,
    when booting this happens with 3 different arch installs.
    INIT: version 2.06 booting
    /etc/rc.d/functions: line 22: /dev/null: Read-only file system
    /etc/rc.d/functions has this on line 22: TERM_COLORS="$(/bin/tput colors 2>/dev/null)"
    I'm guessing I've done something bad at some point...
    Any thoughts?

    The normal boot sequence reports read/only until the kernel and support are fully loaded.
    This prevents any error intro by writes inadvertent or otherwise....

  • Read only permissions as an Admin & force ejection of osx disk; Other disk?

    I have had problems with permissions on my computer for about 2 years now. In the past two years, I've reinstalled my OS about 10 times. In the past month, though, the problems have escalated. I can no longer burn my files to disk successfully because the disk is always ejected before the process can complete. This happened on occasion in the past, but now it happens every time.
    I had an external biometric hard drive which I used to back up my files, but after about 10 months of use, it stopped working. I ordered a new one and sent the old one in for repair, but all of my backups were gone.
    When I got the new one - it is smaller and more portable, which is a plus, it had already been formatted. I tried to reformat, but within minutes I had no control over my settings and even though I am listed as the only user, I had read only permission for the new drive and had no ability to change any system preferences.
    Time to start from the Snow Leopard disk and try to repair permissions, etc. Did repair permissions and reset the permissions under the "Change Password" window in Utilities. When I tried to startup again, I only got a blue screen.
    I have a firmware password, so when my drive wouldn't start, I tried again with the option key down and the startup disk in the optical drive - only to find it force ejected over an over. Then I noticed that not only were my two volumes visible, but another Network Server was fading in and out. Currently, my network was unplugged and I have never connected to an external server. Again, I should be the only user on my system.
    I have returned the newest hard drive in exchange for a new one, but am uncertain of what to do now if I am unable to reinstall the OS. I have posted the photos I took with my iPhone to show the screen with the three volumes visible and will post the link shortly. Please help!

    Image of the screen can be seen here: http://gallery.me.com/iphone/asrodrig1/100033#0
