Sharing & permissions = mixed access

Hello,
I am trying to unlock a bunch of files (pictures) so that I can delete duplicates.  When I right click and select get info, the box where I lock or unlock the filea won't unlock them even if I unclick "lock."  I am assuming that this is because my sharing and permissions shows mixed access.
Funny thought, I generated this same box via some key strokes and it showed that I did have permission and the box showed that I had unlocked the files. Regardless, I am unable to delete so I  suspect I do not have full access.  Please help.

You may need to rebuild permissions on your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type:  ‘resetpassword’ (without the ’s), hit return, and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.

  • Can't get off of "Custom" sharing & permissions access

    I have a 1TB USB drive that I've used to back up customer files on a production G5 Dual 2.0. The G5 has some hardware problems, and is in the shop. I need to access some customer files, so I hooked the drive to my new IMac 27" i5 machine. The drive comes up, but when I try to access it, it gives me a "The ... can't be opened because you don't have permission to see its contents" error message.
    I then do the Command-I thing and get the Info panel up, and under Sharing & Permissions, it shows Custom for the administrator and everybody. When I try to change that to Read & Write, it won't let me.
    How do I work around this permissions problem?

    Greetings and best wishes,
    I hope that VK can help me out as well. I have a small office where we use an iMac (Tiger) as a server (not running server software) that all five Macs in the office access using the same login. No problems for several years until I upgraded three of the connected iMacs to Snow Leopard and now occasionally they cannot access a document they created (permission error) and all the files on the server iMac has 'custom access' as the permission.
    Thanks in advance for your help....

  • Problem with File Sharing-Permissions throughout Folders

    I'm having an odd problem when setting up a Mac Pro with File Sharing. I have a second Hard Drive in it which is a Server Drive to be shared as a networked Hard Drive for both my MBP and my Fiancee's MBP. Here is the problem I have.
    I set up File Sharing and set up both her ID and my ID. Since this is done she is able to get to drive from my MBP and she is able to get to the drive from her MBP. I am able to read or write to those folders. She is able to view them but is unable to write to them.
    I went to the Server Drive icon on the Mac Pro's Desktop. When I right click and do "Get Info" and select Sharing I can tell her ID is not listed on any of the Folders. She is listed as Read and Write for the entire Hard Drive (which is an internal drive). I am also listed as Read and WRite and then it lists Everyone and says No Access. The same is listed in System Preferences in File Sharing. I have heard this Everyone 'No Access' can cause problems but I prefer not to give access to everyone. The only other option is Read Only and Read and Write. Also, when I have Everyone selected the - sign is greyed out so I'm unable to remove Everyone.
    To continue, what is strange is I thought with it saying on the Server Drive itself for my Fiancee, read & write, that it would say this on every Folder inside. Yet when I select any Folder inside on the Server Drive and select Get Info it says for me "Read & Write" and for Staff "Read Only" and for Everyone "Read only" I'm not even sure where Staff comes fro and of course Everyone is Read Only and my Fiancee not even listed. It just seems that these file sharing permissions are not replicated througout all the Folders when I select it for the Hard Drive itself. What could be causing this and how can I get the same to go throughout the Folders? I know manually I could change them all but this would take a long time and likely still be a problem when any additional Folders are added.

    1. I have turned logged into it from my MBP while at Home and if I'm logged in as Guest I only see the Server Drive which is good. My concern is that if I log in with my login I then sell all Folders including the Main 'Macintosh HD' At least as a guest I can only see the Server Drive but is it any way I can stop it from showing all the other folders on the computer since I have no reason to do that?
    When you login to a mac as an administrator it is normal to see all the contents of the volumes connected to that mac.
    2. Also, I would like to disable all access for Guest. Yet I have it list Everyone or Guest in the file sharing and I have no way of deleting this. I don't want a Guest to be able to connect to this computer or share any files at all on it. Is there any way to disable this?
    Goto system preferernces-->accounts
    click on the lock to and enter your password to unlock the preference pane.
    Then select the guest account. Then uncheck the 2 check boxes. The account should now have 'disabled' underneath it.
    3. Security: How secure is this? I am using it on a Home Wi-Fi network with an Airport Base Station 1GB. I have the Leopard filewall set to "Set Access for Specific Services" since it won't work with "Allow only essential services" I hope my home network is more security but with Back to my Mac how hard would it be for someone to be able to find this computer on the network? I don't do any filesharing on my MBP but do have it set up for File Sharing but only with my login ID.
    If you have your base station set to distribute ip addresses then it is acting as a NAT router and will firewall you.
    I have not setup back to my mac yet so can't comment on its security. Although I would suggest a strong password.
    have a read of Mac OS X 10.5: About Back to My Mac security
    My method of remote access is to use SSH and run screen sharing over an SSH tunnel.

  • I deleted "Staff" from "Sharing & Permissions"....

    I tried searching around but was unable to find an answer. It seemed most other similar problems related to a migrated account from Tiger to Leopard which was not the case for me. Not only that but most of those posts seemed really complicated and hard to read.
    When I right click on the folder and "get info" the "staff" option is missing from the "sharing & Permissions" section.
    If I go to the system preferences pane under shaing on this particular folder the missing item is called "Users". I know I deleted it, just wondering how to put it back. Clicking on the little + sign under Users does not work.
    This seems to be the reason that I can not see this folder in SMB shares because all my other shared folders have the "staff" / "Users" and show up on my PC SMB shares just fine. Please help me correct this permission.

  • Severe Security Issue with Sharing Permissions and Windows

    I recently discovered a severe Security issue with the windows sharing an permission settings:
    I have two users, an admin user and a parental controlled user. On my mac mini, i have a external harddrive connected. On the harddrive, i have three folders, Itunes, Iphoto (Package) and a Temp Folder. I want to share the Harddrive RW for the admin, but only R for the parental user. But the Temp folder should be accessible for RW for the parental as well.
    1. I set the Drive checkbox "ignore ownership" off.
    2. I set the permissions of the drive to admin RW, parental R and Everyone to "no access"
    3. I apply to enclosed Items
    4. I set the permission of the Temp folder to admin RW, parental RW and Everyone to "no access"
    5. I apply to enclosed Items
    6. I go to "File Sharing" in the Preferences and activate SMB sharing for both users
    7. I delete all previous shares
    8. I add the Disk and use the proposed permissions which are admin RW, parental R, Everyone "no access"
    9. I add the Temp folder and use the proposed permissions which are admin RW, parental RW, Everyone "no access" - Funny, there is a new Group called "Temp" created which has custom access on both sharepoints
    10. I connect to the mac over a Windows machine (NTLM auth set appropriatly). Now I try to create a folder on the root of the Disk share, I get a denied message.
    BUT WHEN I GO INTO A SUBFOLDER (eg. ITUNES or IPHOTO), WHICH HAS ALSO JUST "R" PERMISSION FOR THE PARENTAL USER, I AM ABLE TO RW, DELETE AND DO EVERYTHING!!!
    TO RECAPITULATE: THE SHARING PERMISSIONS ARE "R", AND THE FILE PERMISSIONS IN THE RESPECTIVE FOLDERS FOR THE RESPECTIVE USER ARE ALSO JUST "R". BUT THE USER CAN DO EVERYTHING IN THE SUBFOLDERS!!!

  • File Sharing Permissions Issue

    We are using file sharing between macs in an art department, where we are sharing out one folder that contains many sub folders that contain art divided by customer name and job/art numbers. Whenever an artist makes a new folder (or copies a "Template" folder) into the shared working folder I have to then go to that artists machine and tell the Mac to copy permissions to all enclosed folders in order for another user to access the files contained within the new folders.
    Is there a way to make all enclosed folders in the shared folder inherit permissions? We have 15 artists sharing files, so fixing sharing permissions several times a day is getting old.

    you can put a name of a group instead of a specific user name in the command. for example you can put "staff" in there which is a group that contains all users with accounts on the machine. or you can just put "everyone" instead of "username" and that will work for all users including guest users. you can also make a group in system preferences->accounts, add the users you want to that group and use the name of that group in the command.

  • InDesign CC Start-up Error: "...lack sufficient permissions to access the preferences folders"

    InDesign CC
    Having successfully installed many CC apps on my Mac Pro Desktop, I proceeded to do the same on my laptop. However, after two attempts at uninstalling and re-downloading both InDesign CC and the Creative Cloud Desktop. When starting up InDesign, I repeatedly get this error message: "Error: Unable to launch Adobe InDesign as you lack sufficient permissions to access the preferences folders. Ensure that you have appropriate permissions and then restart Adobe InDesign." and can go no further.
    I can find no instruction on how to do this, or reference to anyone else getting this error.
    MacBook Pro
    17-inch, Late 2011
    Processor  2.5 GHz Intel Core i7
    Memory  8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  AMD Radeon HD 6770M 1024 MB
    Software  Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5

    I've seen this stock suggestion posted on many discussions. I've solved the problem with LiveChat with Adobe Support:
    Mohammed: As I understand you are not able to launch CC apps since it is giving error "Unable to launch Adobe InDesign as you lack sufficient permissions to access the preferences folders". Is that correct?
    Paul: Yes
    Mohammed: Please open a Finder window. Choose Go > Go To Folder. Type ~/library and you will get Preferences folder.
    Paul: In Library now
    Mohammed: Are you able to find preferences folder?
    Paul: yes
    Mohammed: Control-click the folder and choose Get Info.
    Mohammed: Expand the Sharing & Permissions section.
    Mohammed: Click the lock icon in the lower-right corner. Enter your administrator user name and password when prompted, and then click OK.
    Paul: done
    Mohammed: Please click on + icon and add the Admin and all users showing.
    Paul: done
    Mohammed: Set permission for all users and admin as read/write
    Mohammed: Click the Gear icon, and select Apply to Enclosed Item
    Paul: to each of the individual users and groups?
    Paul: one at a time?
    Paul: I've done it.
    Mohammed: Please open a Finder window. Choose Go > Go To Folder. Type ~/library/Application support and give full permission to Adobe folder.
    Paul: That's completed... I've added all the users and groups, given each 'Read and Write" and extended the permissions to all enclosed items.
    Mohammed: Now please open a Finder window. Choose Go > Go To Folder. Type /library/Application support and give full permission to Adobe folder.
    Paul: OK, I understand... I am proceeding with your instruction.
    Mohammed: Thank you.
    Paul: I'm finished.
    Mohammed: Please close all Adobe Applications and then launch InDesign CC and let me know the result.
    Paul: OK... looking good so far Mohammed... fingers crossed!
    Paul: Thanks Mohammed... it's launched!
    Mohammed: Excellent, I am so happy to hear this from you.
    Mohammed: I certainly appreciate your patience in this process.
    Paul: And I yours.

  • Deleting User/Groups in Info/Sharing&Permissions

    Recently duplicated original start-up drive using CarbonCopyCloner. Hadn't noticed before but a "wheel" group showed up under Sharing & Permissions in the Get Info window with "Read only" permissions. Also have (unknown) user with "Read & Write" permissions. Only myself and guest shows in Accounts pref pane. Have repaired permissions in Disk Utility on all my drives. Obviously, I'd like only myself to have permissions on my Mac. Can I just delete the names in the Get Info window without any consequences? Is there a more appropriate way to make myself the only user on account?

    OK, I think I have this figured out. My terminal skills aren't all that, but using man dscl I figured out how to manipulate this database to do what I want...
    First used this to see what was in the database of usernames/groups:
    sudo dscl . list /groups
    Found offending entries not wanted (username, _unknown, etc) and removed like so:
    sudo dscl . delete /groups/(name to remove)
    Did same for user accounts:
    sudo dscl . list /users
    sudo dscl . delete /users/(names)
    Seems to have worked to get rid of weird entries like _unknown and "nobody".. BUT Finder still includes this weird "(unknown)" with read permissions on every new file... What gives?
    So what I see in the database for users right now is thus:
    _amavisd
    _appowner
    _appserver
    _ard
    _atsserver
    _calendar
    _clamav

    Where is (nobody) coming from then and why can't I delete it in file permissions (or even change its permissions to "NoAccess")... This is really problematic for me. I definitely am not understanding something here about permissions and where they come from..

  • Admin username and Home Sharing & Permissions name don't match

    When I originally installed the OS on my iMac and MacBook, since I entered my full first and last names, that became my Admin user name. While attempting to address a 10.5.6 upgrade problem [below fyi], I used Accounts Preference on both to change to Jim (Me). This didn't solve the problem and, wanting to type less, I changed both to just Me. However, now when I Get Info on my Home directory and examine Sharing & Permissions, it still lists Jim (Me). Why didn't that change? Can I change it? Does it matter?
    My problem: After "upgrading" to 10.5.6, I can't "see" my Home directory on either Mac when connecting via AirPort or Firewire. On both machines, I have set prefs so the Home directory is shared. I select the Shared file server in the Finder. (Oddly enough, the default name that appears when I attempt to connect is just Jim and, no matter what I enter, the next time I try to connect, it defaults to Jim.) Anyway, I enter my username and password. I see the home directory of that Mac as well as the other Mac. I select the other Mac but the only User directory that appears is the Shared directory -- my Home directory doesn't appear. (It did under 10.5.5 so I'm stymied.)

    To fix this (so my files would show) I used NetInfo Manager to change the admin and user values.
    If you change the name(not home) property of an administrator account without updating the membership of the admin group, that account will lose administrator access to the machine; it is possible to create a situation where there are no administrator accounts on the machine through this method. In this case, follow these instructions on one of the accounts which previously had administrator access.

  • Sharing & Permissions

    Hi there guys,
    I create new folders on a daily basis and it's being very frustrating having to give sharing permissions to every single one of them. I receive many files every day and I need to organize them in folders. Also, I need to share those files with other people but no one can access the files or modify them in any way until I change the sharing and permissions for every folder and it's contents. Is there a way to automatically create folders with Read & Write permissions without me having to do it every single time I create them? Any help is much appreciated.
    Thanks in advance!
    Luis

    place an Acl for each user on the on the folder(s) you share data from.
    I do that on my itunes stuff:
    drwxrwxr--+ 20 kj staff 680 Apr 6 13:39 iTunes Music
    0: user:sue allow list,addfile,search,delete,add_subdirectory,delete_child,readattr,writeattr,readextattr, writeextattr,readsecurity,file_inherit,directoryinherit
    1: user:jenny allow list,addfile,search,delete,add_subdirectory,delete_child,readattr,writeattr,readextattr, writeextattr,readsecurity,file_inherit,directoryinherit
    2: user:ned allow list,addfile,search,delete,add_subdirectory,delete_child,readattr,writeattr,readextattr, writeextattr,readsecurity,file_inherit,directoryinherit
    I place one ACL permission for each user.
    use the chmod command in terminal.app:
    sudo chmod -R +a "user allow list,addfile,search,delete,add_subdirectory,delete_child,readattr,writeattr,readextattr, writeextattr,readsecurity,file_inherit,directoryinherit" /volumes/yourdrive_name/shared_data_foldername
    #yes, the above command IS all on one line#
    #remove "-R" if there are no subdirectories in the data folder, change 'user' to match real user's
    name, change the path to the real path where your files are to be stored#
    If the command line makes you queasy, there is a GUI app that can do it:

  • Sharing & Permissions broken?

    I've seen a few posts claiming the Sharing & Permissions box in the Info window in Finder is a mess, but I couldn't see anything matching my exact problem...
    I've logged into a network account on an OS X (Leopard) Server with a Snow Leopard client. (The problem also occurs with a Leopard client.)
    Then I create a new folder in my home folder and open the Info window for the new folder.
    In Sharing & Permissions, I select the 'group' row and try to remove it. I get an error saying the operation can't be completed because I don't have the necessary permission. (Leopard tells me it's error -50, whatever that is.)
    However, if I just do "chmod go= the-folder" in a Terminal window to remove group and other permissions (with the Info window still open), the group line disappears! And "chmod go=rx" brings it back.
    So it would seem I do have permission for what I want to do!
    I'm trying to write some instructions for users in the office as to how to change their file permissions. Some people aren't command line oriented so using the Finder would have been nice.
    Should I just chalk this one down to the broken Sharing & Permissions window again?
    Thanks for any tips.

    this is a bug (I reported it a while back) but not many people have noticed it. try this. unlock the lock at the bottom in the permissions panel with an admin password and THEN remove the group. it will let you. however, now try
    ls -lae the-folder
    look at the group. it has changed to wheel!! so what happens when you try to remove the group via GUI is that it does not only try to change the group permissions to 0 it also tries to change the group to wheel (GID=0).
    that's why it barfs originally. you don't belong to wheel and you need an admin password to do chgrp.
    this is of course absurd and is clearly a bug. it has been around since leopard.
    so don't use GUI to remove group access. use terminal.

  • Wiki server sharing permissions aren't working.

    The sharing permissions or my documents in the wiki server don't seem to be working.  All of my documents are set to no access for logged in and unauthenticated  users. However I can still see my documents listed and accessible in the All Activity section of the wiki server when I am logged out.  This is a real problem. Any ideas?

    I spoke with Apple yesterday.  This issue is being elevated to the appropriate team as a definite problem.  The workaround for now is to set the permissions to read or read/write, click OK, then go back in and set it ot "no access" and click OK.  This should set and reset the permission for the document.
    It worked for me.

  • My own user ID is grayed out in sharing/permissions.  Why?

    I just moved to a new (to me) Mac Pro.   I can't update any files in my data folder that I copied from my old Mac.  When I tried to save a changed file, it asks me for my password, giving me my ID as xxxxxx (for example).  I enter my password (I know it's correct), which it accepts, and it then says I don't have update access to that file.  When I go into Get Info/Sharing & Permissions, and click on the + the ID xxxxxx is grayed out!  In other words, even though I'm logged in as the administrator it won't let me add that ID.  I know I'm logged in as an administrator because I can unlock the lock in the bottom right corner of the Get Info dialog box.

  • Migration Assistant Sharing Permissions

    I just used Migration Assistant to transfer my library files to the new laptop and once I went to look at them, the files on the new laptop are not availabel to be accessed, they have NO sharing permissions available. How do I undo this? Will I have to run mig assist all over again?

    supercub2008:
    Can you give us some more details about the transfer?
    What was the source computer? Destination?
    Which Library files?

  • Permissions = "Custom access" ? ? ?

    How I got into this mess is a sorry tale, which is hardly worth recreating. What I need is a way OUT of the mess.
    SYMPTOMS:
    My G5 has a 500 GB boot drive, and a 500 GB internal data drive (only data; no OS). The permissions are so bolloxed up that Get-Info shows Sharing & Permissions as follows:
    John (Me) = Custom
    John (Me) = Custom
    (unknown) = Custom
    everyone = Custom
    If I open a Finder window, andlocate the offending drive in Column View -- and click on it -- I get the following dialog: "The folder "DATA" could not be opened because you do not have access privileges."
    If I run Disk Utility, and click on Veryfy Disk, or Repair Disk, the result is "The volume DATA appears to be OK."
    But it's not OK. I cannot get access to the drive, or to the data on it.
    I want to regain access to this data drive. Will someone please tell me, what buttons can I press, to make the devil go away?
    TIA.

    Hi,
    I see you guys have got some insight into the whole "custom access" issue... and I desperately need your advice... in terms I can understand (I'm baffled by a lot of this talk about which permissions I need, etc.).
    Here's the back story...
    1) I had recently updated my Macbook Pro to 10.5.5. And I noticed that my Internet connection would either drop or run glacially slow. Meanwhile, my wife's Macbook ran fine. So I figured something was up.
    2) I tried turning the Airport connection on and off, demanding a new IP, and all that. No luck. Zapping the PRAM once seemed to help. But very shortly we were back to slow speeds. Then I saw something online about trashing many network related preferences and the 'SystemConfiguration" file.
    3) I moved the recommended items out of their locations in the System folder, parked them in a new folder on the desktop (instead of trashing them) and rebooted. No change. And then I thought maybe it would be best instead to just put the files back and look into it later.
    4) When I put the files back, I noted that the system had created a new "SystemConfiguration" folder... which then moved out... and placed in the original SystemConfiguration folder. And that's around about where the real trouble seemed to begin.
    5) I rebooted and discovered that my Airport card was 'Not configured" or something like that. It was as if the card didn't exist. Same seems to be true of Bluetooth. The system just doesn't see it. What's more, I get a "Network Pane" that's completely blank. NO ports listed in the column on the left... NO user name.. etc. Even my "local host" name had disappeared.
    6) That sent me online and I found this article an on folders that have defaulted to a "custom access" discussion. And sure enough... the systemconfiguration folder I had dragged back in had the "custom access" label. So does the main folder/wrapper for my home directory. Plus, the same with many folders inside.
    7) I have "Batchmod" but don't know, in layman's terms, what I should change the permissions to. Am I "user"? Do I "strip the ACLs" or forget about them? Is there some other better option?
    8) I've seen people suggesting to go get a piece of the system network stuff from the pre-upgrade files. But I ran into another problem... related, I think, to all this. And that's simply that my Time Machine can't see the backup versions I did over a week ago.
    9) I'm wondering if I need to do an "Archive & Install"... but then worry it won't work because the busted network settings would come over with it. (This computer was upgraded to Leopard with Archive & Install.)
    10) So then I wonder if I should do a clean install... but I don't quite understand how to "just port back in the contents of your home folder." How does one do that without breaking the applications away from all the little things they installed so they could run?
    I'm sure there's information I'm not providing, simply because I don't know what you'd need.
    But what can I do?
    Hope to hear from you soon!
