Server 10.2.8 users but not groups have write permission

A friend of mine just called about a problem he's having with his OS X Server 10.2.8 install. He had a crash, and reinstalled the system using (I think) archive and install. However, now, his users have a problem. They can access their files, read and write, but they can only read other user's files. Even if they are in a group which is supposed to have write access, they still can only read files. This sounds very strange. If the group the user is in has write access, then that user should also have write access, correct? They used to have write access.

Hi
As far as I am aware you can’t archive and install OSX Server. Perhaps this is the root of the problem. Your friend has installed OSX Client thinking its the server. Perhaps also he is confused about group access as there is none on OSX Client.
Is this a possibility. Also it may be better if your friend posted the problem himself with as much information as possible other wise he is going to get patchy support at best.

ACS 4.1- shell command works under user but not group

Hi,
This question might actually belong under tacacs server but it's only happening with the ACE. I've configured tacacs on the 4710 and configured the tacacs server per the documentation. If I enter the shell:<context>*Admin default-domain under the group settings when I login with my tacacs ID my role is set to Network-Monitor. If I set the shell in my specific tacacs ID I'm assigned the correct role as Admin. We're running ACS ver 4.1 and the ACE is A4(1.1)
Thanks

For the tacacs settings under the user settings make sure you select the radio button for "Use Group Level Setting" rather than just removing the av-pair.
Thanks,
Tarik

After installing Mountain Lion, why is there Yahoo access for one user but not another?--both are administrators.

After installing Mountain Lion, why is there Yahoo access for one user but not another?--both are administrators.

We've had several instances where we have had to run chkdsk on arrays with over 1m files. Average completion time is approximately 72 hours. The maximum downtime window they have available is the 64 hour weekend window. File sizes and number of files were
much smaller then than they are now.
The idea, in theory, was to use VHDs to compartmentalize the data into smaller volumes which could be more easily managed. It would also improve performance when transferring these compartments of data as they would use sequential read/write rather than
fragmented/random. This idea was never fleshed out in entirety, they don't split data up into little containers, but simply into big ones per project. Hence the 11m files in one container that I am currently trying to diagnose.
Some other important facts: The VHD in question is mounted in B:/project/ as this server also allows remote workers to log in, but they are restricted to see only data in E:. Disks A-D are hidden via group policy.
Update: icacls is failing on a large number of files within this dataset. I counted the path characters to ensure it wasn't the 255 character limit I was encountering and verified that the paths being blocked are only about 150 characters long. Once it finishes,
I'll have to try taking ownership and then re-running it. At this point I still have no idea how long to expect. I'm running out of time as the environment will be in use again at 9AM tomorrow morning.

Airplay works for one user but not for another on the same machine

I have the problem where airplay works for one user but not for another and both users are on the same machine. For the user where it does not work, everything appears normal, it's just that there is no sound being transmitted. I have tried restarting the Airport express, restarting iTunes, repairing disk permissions. Any ideas about what can be done to resolve this?

Active Directory User which can Create a User but not Allowed to Enable Disabled Users

Hi Guys, we have a requirement to create a User Group in Active Directory which will grant its members permission to 'Create Users' but not be allowed to 'Enable' 'Disabled Users'.
We have tried delegating control and assigning permissions by going to 'Security Tab>Advanced'.
It seems like when a group is granted permission to create users, it will also be allowed to enable, disabled users.
Kindly advise if it is possible to create a user group with permissions to 'Create Users' but not be allowed to 'Enable', 'Disabled Users'.

Hi,
According to my experience, you can assign permission with create/delete user objects. If you want to disable/enbale
a user, you must be a member of the Account Operators group, Domain Admins group, or the Enterprise Admins group in Active Directory, or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority.
In general, if you just give a user group the permission to create user objects, it cannot disable or enable user accounts. Please make sure that the permission you assigned is correct and the
user group are not the member of Account Operators group, Domain Admins group, or the Enterprise Admins group in Active Directory.
Best regards,
Susie

ITunes accounts can be accessed under one User but not a second User.

Hi
I'm having problems setting up iTunes on a new PC I've recently purchased. On my old PC - (Vista), myself (David) and my wife (Chris) had different Windows Users accounts, both with separate iTunes accounts which we could access with no problems.
On my new Pc (Windows 7) I have downloaded iTunes and can access my iTunes account with my ID and password when the PC is logged in as 'David' as the User, as can my wife BUT when the PC the PC is logged in as my wife as the User 'Chris' neither of us can access our iTunes account with our relative ID and passwords. We get the message.. "The iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later.".
I have seen this sentence on Google and on various forums including this one but cannot find a solution which fits my problem which is our iTunes accounts can be accessed when the PC is logged in under one User but not a second User.
Has anyone have ideas to attempt to resolve this issue?
Thank you

Report visible for one user but not for other user

Hi all,
We have a situation where a report is visible to one user but not to some other user. What could be the possible explanation for this? Please let me know.
I need quick responses.
Thanks in advance,
Sananda

Hi Sananda,
Just assign the saem roles as the other user who can view ..
You can inform the Auth/basis team and they shud be able to do this..
The T Code is RSECADMIN>user Tab>Assignment>user.Display and BView the roles here..
or goto SU01 and check for the Roles Tab.....
The New user must have the same roles as that of the other..

I am a new iPhone user. I'm a frequent technology user but not a sophisticated one. I am looking for an app where I can make lists -- books, movie titles, etc. And I want to be able to make individual folders. But I do not need more than that. Help!

I am a new iPhone user. I'm a frequent technology user but not a sophisticated one. I am looking for an app where I can make lists -- books, movie titles, etc. And I want to be able to make individual folders. But I do not need much more capacity than that. Ideas?

One of these may fit your needs: http://iphone.appstorm.net/roundups/productivity-roundups/25-fantastic-to-do-lis t-apps-for-iphone/
What do you mean make folders? Like folders inside an application or accessing system folders? You can't do the latter.

Why do I see pictures of a different user but not my own?

Why do I see pictures of a different user but not my own? Opening organizer in Photoshop Elements for the first time, I see pictures of my husband, but pictures in my picture library are not there. I do not want to see my husband's pictures. And he did not give me sharing permission. What can I do?

Do you have two different catalogues (One for you and other one for your husband)
if yes,
In Elements organizer go to File>Manage Catalogs and check if you have any catalogue listed of your name.
if yes, double click on that catalogue and it will open the media on that catalogue.

Repair iTunes Security Permissions
Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Securitytab and click Advanced. Use the Change Permissions... button grant to your account (or the Users group) and SYSTEM full control of this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to Replace permissions entries... which will repair permissions throughout the library. When complete switch to the General tab, click in the Read-only check box to clear it, then click Apply.
If you don't have the option to change the permissions then use the Owner tab and Edit... button to take ownership from an account with administrator privileges. Tick the option to Replace owner on subcontainers and objects.
Repeat with the media folder if it isn't stored inside the main iTunes folder.
If you've brought over the library from another computer you may also want to remove any "mystery" identities (S<string of dashes & digts>) that have come over from the old computer...
The images above are from Windows 7. Hopefully the system isn't too different in Windows 8.

I've just opened iTunes on my Mac with an error "The iTunes Library.itl file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file.". I created a shirred library so that all users on my Mac can access the same library. Help?

I have just opened ITunes on my Mac and the following error occurred "The iTunes Library.itl file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file.". When I setup my Mac I created a shared user area to contain my ITunes library so that I could share it with another user logged onto my Mac. However the error above gives me the impression that the library file is locked... I've checked and it does not seem to be locked under the "get info" fie information. Has anyone come across this before and found a solution?

You also need to make sure you have both read and write permission for the file, or for the whole iTunes folder for that matter. That's also done in Get Info for the file or folder concerned.
Read the part about changing permissions on the iTunes folder in: https://discussions.apple.com/message/11583914

Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Security tab and click Advanced. If necessary grant your account and SYSTEM full control of this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to replace permissions on child objects which will repair permissions throughout the library. This is the XP dialog but Windows 7 shouldn't be too different.
If it won't let you change the permissions use the Owner tab to take ownneship from an account with administror privileges.
