Sharing folders with S-users

Dear Colleagues
I evaluate a lot of documents from partners and need to know how can I share a folder with a partner that has s-user and a passport installed. Until today I am facing a lot of problems trying to do that.
Thanks, Jorge

Hi Jorge,
the combination of S-User and a passport seems to create some problems. What you can do to share documents with the s-user is to create a to create a Share in Mobile Documents and add the user with their email adress as member. If the S-User belongs to the email adress you enter they just can login with their S-User and password. If not they need to register at the SCN with the email adress you used.
I hope that helps to solve your problem.
Best regards
Alex

  • Sharing Folders with single users and Teams?

    Will there be an option to share folders with single users and teams.  Something like DropBox in the near future?

  • Sharing folders for 2 users on the same mac

    Hey
    I have a Vista Virtual Machine (VM) created in VMware fusion and it is stored on a partition on my Bay 2 HDD in my mac pro. it all runs fine when i log in since i am the admin on the box.
    I created a Standard user account for my wife. I want my wife to open up VMware Fusion and launch the Vista VM as she pleases to do her work under her account. So i went to sharing in system preferances and selected the folder that contains the VM in "Shared folders" and under "Users" i gave her account read & write permissions. When i log in as my wife and try to launch the VM it says she does not have permissions. I can browse to the folder without any issues. I get the same message if i were to double click the VM also.
    I then logged in as the admin and gave her account admin privileges to see if that will fix the issue. when i log in under her account i still get don't have permissions. If she has admin privileges should't she able to have access to any folder on my mac?
    The goal is to leave my VM on my Bay2 HDD and have both of us launch Vista VM using VMware fusion successfully from this location under both our accounts
    What am i doing wrong here?
    Thanks

    Admin permissions does not give you blanket rights to any file. It only gives you the ability to give yourself permission to access a file.
    doogald is correct to observe that you have to give your wife permission to read and write to the files inside the folder, and not just read and write permissions on the folder itself. In addition, if your wife doesn't have at least read permission on the folders in which the VM folder is contained, all the way up to the root folder, then she may continue to have problems.
    If VM Fusion will allow this, it might be best to move the folder which contains the VM to /Users/Shared. You will still need to ensure that your wife has read and write permission for the folder +and its contents+ but the purpose of /Users/Shared is to share files and folders. This way you won't need to manipulate your permissions beyond making sure the shared folders and files themselves are read-writable by you and your wife.

  • How do I stop sharing mail with other users on my computer

    How do I stop sharing mail with other users on my Macbook pro?

    You may have to set up different user accounts in the computer if you wish to
    continue sharing the computer among other people, and only use the Mail app.
    Otherwise, if you use a webmail such as yahoo, gmail, or other, just use a browser
    and login each time; then there is no saving of your email to the computer as such.
    I've never used an email client software, nor had an ISP based email account. So
    my numerous computers have never downloaded email into software. No loss.
    But the answers do include setting up extra user accounts, not admin level, so the
    other users do not mess with the operating system; a standard account or just a
    guest account to use a browser to access web-based login email accounts, works.
    There are third-party email client for OS X, some are free applications, others are
    part of a larger browser product, such as SeaMonkey, & other Mozilla derivatives.
    They provide an email segment or client aspect; unlike Firefox that's a browser.
    Setup information should be within the Help viewer in the computer itself. Or by a
    simple search online, including the OS X version and any email client software
    your computer may have installed. Some browser software includes email client.
    Also there are several ways to go in this matter. I don't see questions, only answers.
    To learn how the Mail application works, if you want to import everyone's mail, then
    figure how to set up user accounts in the OS X. Or use web-mail & login by browser.
    Hopefully you can find the best solution for the unasked question.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Sharing games with different user accounts

    Hello. I've been meaning to ask this for ages and was hoping for some help.
    There are four user accounts on my mac and my son and daughter love Zoo Tycoon. My question is, how do I share the actual app between the accounts as I can't seem to sort out the permissions (they have Parental Controls on too but with Zoo Tycoon ticked for allowed use).
    My idea was to have the Zoo Tycoon folder stored in the Computer/Users/Shared folder and use it with both accounts from there, but I keep getting 'try installing on an unlocked volume' message.
    Does anyone know if this is possible and how to set permissions correctly?
    Thanks in advance.

    All your Applications should be in /Applications folder by default to be accessible to all users and to be seen by updaters. If you created an "Applications" folder within your Home folder, then only you will be able to use those Applications. Otherwise there should be no permissions issues.
    Check Permissions Inside a Home folder:
    • Navigate to /Users/~(Home)/Library.
    • Get Info (Command - i) on folders for apps you are having problems with.
    • Open the "Ownership & permissions" disclosure triangle.
    • Make sure the user is the owner, with "read and write" access.
    • Click on "apply to all"
    • If this is correct, open the "Applications Support" folder and do the same procedure (Command+I) for the folders with the names of the applications you are having trouble with.

  • WGM creates new home folders with _unknown user/group, SA can't change it

    A little background:
    In our school we've got an xserve (about 1.5 yrs old), that was having issues last year. (the OD database pretty much ate itself). in august we did a clean install of 10.5, and updated to 10.5.3 (after suffering through the AFP/OD issues in 10.5.2). Because of the corrupt database from the last server, and the fact that a large number of our accounts have migrated through 4-5 iterations of servers from 9.2 on through 10.4.11, we created all new clean accounts by hand in WGM and moved the user files to the new home folders, changed user and permissions with SA to the new accounts and propogated that info to all the files for each home folder. everything has been going fine since then.
    until this week.
    the issue was discovered when we tried to create a new staff account (we created several accounts last week with no issue). in WGM everything looked fine. it created the account, assigned it to the proper group, and sucessfully created a home folder. the problem however was when we went into SA to change the permissions. we don't need everybody seeing everyone else's files, so we change the default group and everyone permissions to something more appropriate (don't even get me started on that gripe). When you navigate to the new home folder you just created in WGM, it shows the owner as _unknown (read/write) and group _unknown (read only... I think), Everyone (read only). Server Admin refuses to change the user or group. doesn't matter whether you use the 'show users/group' dialog and drag the account, or whether you edit it manually and insert the short name or UID. when you hit save, it stubbornly reverts back to unknown/unknown for user and group. we've tried creating accounts with different templates, no template, different account names and UID's, all with the same result.
    The odd part is that nothing in the OS has changed since we first set it up and created all the users. nothing installed, nothing updated...
    We've stayed at 10.5.3 due to the disaster in one of the updates (10.5.5 I think) that many of our other local districts had with network accounts not being able to see their own library folders due to permission issues, as well as the AFP causing 100% CPU use bug reported with 10.5.5
    A second, probably related issue is that when browsing home folders in Server Admin filesharing, any files our network users create seem to end up assignedunknown/unknown for user and group (as far back as October it seems). After searching around the net most of the day I came across a lot of info about the _unknown user issues for folks upgrading from 10.4, but these are all newly created 10.5 network users (not local) logging in and working in home folders on the server. The original owners can read/write/delete these files as normal.
    Any help would be most appreciated.

    ok... I find we were shot in the foot by one of our own.
    The quick answer: DO A GET INFO ON THE VOLUME WITH THE SHAREPOINTS! if the 'ignore permissions on this volume' box is checked... UNCHECK IT!
    Explaination: not sure how the ignore permissions box got checked, but I don't think it was done directly by human hands. we use Carbon Copy Cloner Ver. 3.something (not sure which at this point) to back up both our data (daily) and server (weekly) drives to remote storage. by striking coincidence, things started saving with _unknown user and group about the same time as crash reporter shows that CCC hosed itself. My guess is that CCC temporarily ignores permissions (as shown in the status when you do a clone) and then resets them to their original state. when it crashed, it looks like they were still set to ignore, so it happily set it back to that state every time it ran after that. not sure why the account creation issue suddenly turned up after so long... In any event, it turns out that if you have sharepoints on a server volume, AND you set the OS to ignore permissions on that volume, BAD things happen (I'm not sure it should even be an option on a shared volume, but that's for the engineering folks to figure out.) .... specifically, the symptoms above. if you login as root (yeah, I know that's something you should never do) and uncheck the ignore permissions box on the volume, then log into WGM, as root (yeah, yeah, I know... even worse) and set ALL of the Directory Administrator accounts to 'do not administer this server', and no change rights for the directory, save those settings, and then set them back to 'administer this server', and FULL rights to change the open directory, save again. and then WAIT until the drives stop going nuts... after that everything works fine.

  • How to hide shared folders to some users...

    Hi,
    Is there a way to hide the shared folders from users and only give them access to the dashboards to run the reports? We are using OBIEE 10G

    if you remove read permission to the shared folder, you wont be able to see the dashboards associated with that folder. you can try using traverse folder option.
    if you want that the user should only be able to see the dashboards then you can restrict access to answers and assign read permissions to the dashboards so that they cant modify dashboards.
    to restrict the access to answers - goto administration>manage privileges>Access to Delivers
    to assign read only permissions to dashboards goto administration>manage interactive dashboards and change permissions accordingly.
    assign points if found helpful.

  • Sharing folders/files between users on same imac Intel

    Hello,
    Hoping the Gods of OSX can help me. I'm a recent convert from PC to iMac Intel. My wife and I both use the imac so we set up two different users (both have admin priv). I was able to network the imac and our PC together and pull stuff off the PC onto the mac (music videos, documents).
    The Question:
    We want to be able to share alot of stuff between the two users. for instance, If I were to login then connect my Digital camera and import in iPhoto then fast switch to my wife's account I want to be able to see those photos that were just imported. What are the steps (if any) to make folders synced/shared.
    If anyone can help it would be appriciated.

    The easiest way is to put the files you wish to share between users in the Shared folder (this is the Shared folder located in the Users folder.) All files placed there can be accessed by all users.
    If you want to go a step further it's possible to set up multiple-user iTunes and iPhoto libraries:

  • Deleting Shared Folders with SirAdmin

    I am trying to use SirAdmin to delete them, but I always get Permission Denied when I do that.
    I am using my admin user to login to the server with SirAdmin.
    How can I get rid of these folders?
    Ivan

    Don't use your normal admin user for this - create a "siradmin" user (specific name not important). I cannot remember though why this was the advice - so maybe redundant now.
    Add that admin to /etc/imapd.conf so that 'admins' line reads like...
    admins: cyrusimap siradmin
    After logging into SirAdmin, select the shared folder and add an ACL for the siradmin user, with ALL permissions. Then delete the folder. You have to give the user delete permissions before being able to delete it, strange but true

  • ITunes Shared library with all users on one computer

    I am trying to share my iTunes (version 8.2) library with all the users on my computer. So far, this is what I have done:
    1) I have moved the music folder into the shared folder.
    2) I have selected "Add to Library" in all three accounts.
    3) I have tried checking and unchecking the "Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library."
    Since then, I have added some CDs that had some songs that I already had. When I loaded these CDs, I deleted the duplicates that had the worse sound. Since then, everything is unwinding. The additions on one user account are not being added to the others. When I delete a track, iTunes (obviously) says that it can't find the song anymore. What's odd is that I then delete the one that is missing, and both are missing now: the one that I deleted on the original account and the one that I did not delete on the original account.
    I am starting to think that I need to start from scratch. So, to make a long story short (too late), how can I share my iTunes library with all users on one computer, where I can make a change in one account that will update automatically on the other accounts. If it can't be updated automatically, how can I add/delete files without causing the headaches I am currently having?
    Brian

    I actually followed this, but I still had problems that I listed above. Is there any way that when you make changes to one account (even if there is only one main account where changes are made), the changes are automatically (or at least easily) applied to the other user accounts?

  • Sharing photos with multiple users on single iMac

    I want to share all my iphotos with all users. I purchased an external hard drive (Rock Mobile) that automatically synced up to the Time Machine. I have loaded the iPhoto data base onto the Time Machine. I would like other users to have access via their screen saver - how can I do this?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    You'll need to partition that external if you want to share it with TM.
    For iPhoto 09 (version 8.0.2) and later:
    What you mean by 'share'.
    If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
    Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
    Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
    If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc.
    Quit iPhoto in both accounts. Move the Library to the Users / Shared Folder
    (You can also use an external HD set to ignore permissions, a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.)
    In each account in turn: Double click on the Library to open it. (You may be asked to repair the Library Permissions.) From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
    However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.

  • Sharing folders with Samba in Mavericks

    Hi,
    I've spent the whole afternoon trying to access some shared folders of my MacBook Pro from a machine running Ubuntu 12.04 using samba. is it possible? I read AFP is deprecated and SMB2 is going to be the standard protocol. I also read SMB2 is getting some compatiblities problems because it is unstable so far, and that a possible workaround is to force smbd to use the old SMB1.  I have been succeed connecting from a Windows PC to the MacBook Pro using both protocols: SMB and AFP, but with a Ubuntu PC only with the second option. Again, is it possible to access my shared mac's resource using SMB? if AFP is pretended to disappear, how I will access my folders from a linux PC?
    Thanks

    Yes - the ability to share folders will be coming in a future release.  Stay tuned!
    thanks,

  • Issue in Shared Services with corp user IDs

    Hi,
    I am facing an issue with corp user IDs in Shared Services. The issue is that I am able to add corp user IDs to a group but I am not able to remove some of them from the group for some reason especially those corp user IDs that were added few weeks or months ago.
    What I noticed is if I add a corp user ID today and try to remove it today itself it is letting me do it but those corp IDs that I added to the group weeks before it is not letting me remove them. I tried to push the corp user ID from right hand side to the left hand side and then saved the changes. It shows the message that the group has been modified but when I go back again and check in the group I find the user there on the right side where it shows all user members. Not sure why this is happening.
    Any ideas on this? Please do share your inputs.
    Thank you.
    ~ Adella

    Hello Mehmet,
    Thank you so much for your response.
    Well, I think I tried at both the places yet I am facing the same issue. If I add any corp user now and immediately take it off in minutes it lets me do it. But if I try to take out a user who was added to the group weeks ago it is just not letting me do it. It does give the messages that the gourp has been modified but when I come back again and look at the group its there.
    Its weird and I am not sure whats going wrong. Is it some kind of a bug?
