[SOLVED] Copying settings to another user.

Hey guys I'm new to the forum so please be gentle
So i setup arch and installed openbox and have everything running perfectly except that i forgot to make a new user at the beginning so all my xserver settings are stuck on root. I just need a way to copy everything from my root to my other account. Sorry if this is a noobish question

Help with adding a user copying permissions from another user $RoleDefinition.Name SharePoint 2010 Powershell

Hello,
I need to basically find everyplace 'ADUser1' exists and then add a new 'ADUser2' with the same permissions as the first group.
I have created a script that runs through an entire web app and finds everyplace the AD account is directly given access to and access via a group. I then need to add the new user and assign the permissions from the first ADUser, copy them. Below
is not the entire script, just where I'm trying to add the new user. The rest of the script works fine to find the first user. I'm stuck with this part: $role = $_.RoleDefinitions[$newRoleDef]. I get an error that I can call a method
on a null valued experssion.. I guess I don't know how to specify to copy the role from the first user, and use it to set the new user?
          #Get the Permissions assigned to user
           $WebUserPermissions=@()
             foreach ($RoleDefinition in $WebRoleAssignment.RoleDefinitionBindings)
                             $WebUserPermissions += $RoleDefinition.Name +";"
        $newRoleDef = $RoleDefinition.Name
          #write-host "with these permissions: " $WebUserPermissions
          #Send the Data to Log file
          "$($Web.Url) `t Site `t $($Web.Title)`t Direct Permission `t $($WebUserPermissions)" | Out-File C:\Apps\Scripts\Logs\UserAccessReport.csv -Append
    $assignment = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPRoleAssignment($account)
                $role = $_.RoleDefinitions[$newRoleDef]
                $assignment.RoleDefinitionBindings.Add($role)
                $_.RoleAssignments.Add($assignment)

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to copy user permission to another user via PowerShell.
Instead of copy permission to another user, we can get the user permission, assign the permission to a group, then add the other user to the group. Now the user would get the same permssion as this user.

We can also use the third-party tool to achieve the same scenario.

ALV report - copy layout to another user

Hello,
I have a question about ALV reports.
In ALV we have option to select layout and save it by user-specific.
How to copy this layout to another user?
Is there some function/Bapi?
Thanks in advance,
Michal

Hi Michael,
Here are the steps I documented for managing this procedure:
First Step is to READ the Layout into the Program
     The parameters for the layout can be found in table LTDX
Goto SE37 and enter: LT_DBDATA_READ_FROM_LTDX
When (READ) you will input information for the following parameters:
Report Name
Handle
Log Group
User
Variant
Type
An example is shown below:
<screen shots didn't load in my response> email if you'd like the document with screen shots>
Execute.
Now our next step is to WRITE the information from the program into table: LTDX
While at the Function Builder Screen enter the new function module: LT_DBDATA_WRITE_TO_LTDX
When you (WRITE) you will input information for the following parameters:
Report Name
Handle
Log Group
User
Variant
Type
When completed, your input screen for (WRITE) should look like the screen below:
<screen shots didn't load in my response> email if you'd like the document with screen shots>
IMPORTANT     When entering information for IS_VARKEY, remember to use the u201Cnew useru201D ID
When entering information for IS_VARIANT, remember to enter information exactly as found in table LTDX and remember that the parameter: DEPENDVARS may be needed to complete your entry
Now Execute the Function Module. When completed go to table: LTDX and confirm that your new entry has been added.
Pre Checklist:
1.)     Capture entries (users) you want to copy from table: LTDX
2.)     Make sure you have access to execute function modules/eCATT scripts
3.)     Make sure you have table display access (needed to find and validate updates)
If you'd like the documentation with screen shots please reply with your email address.
Cheers,
Robert

Problems copying files from another user that originated from Time Machine

I bought my wife a new MacBook Pro to replace a 6 or 7 year old iMac, and in the course of setting it up tonight, we've run into a little snag.
She didn't need or want the vast majority of the stuff on the old drive. So I reinstalled the applications she wanted, and copied a few of her documents. MOST of what she wanted was the iTunes and iPhoto databases.
I attempted to copy these over via the time machine drive that used to be plugged into the iMac. I was told there are insufficient permissions to do so. No problem. I used Migration Assistant to copy from the external drive, and selected just the items that we wanted copied -- Music and Photos.
This worked great, except it copied over a new user account that matched the old one (she's using a different/married name now, so the user accounts didn't match up). In and of itself, I couldn't care less if it creates another user as I figured I could always go in, copy what I need from the restored user folder to the new user, and then delete the user account we don't need.
Unfortunately, that's where I've hit the final snaffu. All the files I need are in a user account for "Heather A" (restored from the Time Machine drive via Migration Assistant). I need to copy those files (Music, Photos in particular) to the user account "Heather T" (the new account we setup when we first booted up the new MBP). However, in Finder, there's a little red circle with a line through it over the icon for those folders within "Heather A", and attempting to even open them (much less copy anything), generates the error "The folder 'Music' can't be opened because you don't have permission to see its contents."
How do I get around this and/or change the permissions?
I should note that both the "Heather A" and "Heather T" accounts are administrator accounts, so I'm at a loss as to why this is happening and how to fix it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Dan

Sssuming there still in the transferred account, delete the files you copied over to the new account. Log into the old account, drop all those files and iTunes into her new accounts /Public/Drop Box/, log into the new account, and drag to where you want them. That should resolve the permissions issues.

HOW DO I COPY A WINDOWS 7 PROFILE SO I CAN USE ITS SETTINGS FOR ANOTHER USER?

I want to copy an ex employee's profile in Windows 7 (we are on a domain by the way). I want to copy the ex-user's profile and replace the new user's profile
so when the new user logs in, they will see the previous user's settings like calendar.
Is this possible?

Excellent information, However, I think the OP said that they wanted to copy a specific users settings. Personally, if the settings only need to be applied once, I would just rename the user profile and change the password and tada the settings are identical.
Seeing that the user hive of the registry contains numerous references to the original folder, your method might create some interesting phenomena. Example:
- Original profile folder: C:\Users\LRenwick
- Renamed profile folder (following your recipe): C:\Users\JDoe
- Data stored in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\GDIPlus: C:\Users\LRenwick\AppData\Local
Renaming the profile folder will not change any of these references in the registry.
Good point, didn't even think of that.

Copying files from another user

I migrated my files successfully, but not into to my user. I need these files on my main user and I have no idea how to do this.

Have a read here:

Might be better/best to start the thing all over and using the Setup Assistant instead of the MIgration Assistant this time:

How to copy information from a user account's Security tab of Active Directory User and Computer Security tab to another user account?

Hi, I'm using vs2012
Grammatically, by C# code, I need to copy a user account's Security (from ADUC Security tab) and apply it to a new user account I created by code. My application creates new AD accounts when needed. I need to duplicate/copy attribute from another
user account that we use as a base template. I can copy most other attributes through property["xxxxx"] but how do I copy all that permission access information under the ADUC Security tab?
How can I do that? Thank you.
Thank you

Can I create another User with user privileges in RV042 V3?

Hello to all, good day!
I am just wondering if it is possible to have two user accounts in Cisco RV042 V3 (Firmware:
v4.1.1.01-sp (Dec 6 2011 20:03:18). User accounts to mean that one user can access the router with an administrative level access can do all the changes and management of the router's configurations and settings while another user can only do viewing of the system summary tab and connect and manage the simple configuration to connection to the ISP in both WANs, like setting up the connection type and release/renew the ip address for dynamic ip assigned by the ISP DHCP server.
Thank you.

RV042 only supports one administrator account with the current firmware. Newer products such as RV110W and RV220W support multiple user accounts.

Reseting KM List Layout Profile for another user

Hello,
how can an administration reset layout profile personalization settings for another user.
Some users in our system have done the following:
KM Resource->Details->Settings->Presentation->Tab:Settings for You->Change Layout Profile
This creates some problems with our custom layout which is not used because of the user's personalization settings.

Hi,
If am understood, I hope you are expect the authorization copy.
Procedure
       1.      In the Administration --> System Initialization --> Authorizations window, choose the name of the user whose authorizations are to be copied. Hold the mouse button until a rectangle appears around the user name.
       2.      Drag the rectangle to the name of the user to whom to grant the authorizations.
       3.      Release the mouse button.
       4.      A system message prompts for confirmation of the copy operation.
       5.      Choose OK to confirm the operation. The authorizations are copied completely to the second user.
Thanks & Regards,

Hello and HELP! Over the years I have saved Invoices in my Documents. I have just tried to open them and all I am getting is " cannot be opened, Invoice**** is used by another user, do you want to make a copy?" That's on all my invoices.

Can someone help please.
I have just "lost" ( cannot open) all my saved Invoices in the Document folder. All I am getting is " cannot open, Invoice ** is used bey another user, do you want to make copy? " That doesn't work either. I can't get anything on the time capsule either. How can I reset to an earlier time? Or what can I do?
Thank you

Did you recently reinstall the OS then copy all your files back over? Do a Get info on one of the documents and see if your current UserName is listed and has Read & Write permissions. If not select the Documents folder and check that for Read & Write permissions for your UserName. If it doesn't have R & W permissions Add it so it does.

Mountain Lion: Copying mailbox from one user to another user on the same mac

When I bought the mac I had only one email address. Since then I have accumulated 3 more addresses. I created another User on the same MAC to seperate the personal emails from the 3 new email addresses, that I use for business.
There are some mailboxes from the 1st account that has business information in them that I want to move to the 2nd User account (with the 3 e-mail addresses). I though that I could save them in the dropbox and then save them into the 2nd User accounts like I did with the documents and spreadsheets, but this does not work.
I really need to separate the Family Personal email information from the Busines Information and I do not want to just send lots and lots of emails to the accounts to get them there.
I am not using Cloud at the moment because it created some syncing issues. Because the 1st User Account and email account is synced with an iPad and iPhone that my wife uses with an Apple ID. The 2nd User (and 3 mail addresses) are synced with my iPhone and a separate Apple ID. We have separate ID's because she did not want my personal & business contacts seeping into the family email accounts
I know that this is long, but I wanted to provide as much information as possible, so that I can resolve this.
Thanks in Advance

I spent quite a few hours after this was posted trying to figure it out and I did.
Select Mailbox > Export Mailbox. This asks you a location to export the mailboxes to. It just uploads the exported mailboxes into Dropbox.
Then change the User that I want to import the mailboxes into. Select Import and select the location of where you placed the folder in Dropbox. This then imports the mailbox into a folder called Import. You then drag and drop the copied mailboxes from the Import folder to the folder in the structure you have. If you decide to delete the folders from the import folder list, do this. You can also delete the copied folders from Dropbox if you wish.
Took a while, but I got there and I'm happy now....

Copy programs from one user to another on same MacBook?

I have two user accounts on my MacBook Air--one for personal, one for work. I loaded Microsoft Office Suite onto my personal one a long time ago, and recently created the work user acct. Is there a way to copy Mic Off Suite over to the new user acct?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
The problem with Office is that it creates files in system folders, so there isn't an easy way to transfer Office to another user without reinstalling Office for that account.
My advice is to install Office in that account again so you won't have any problem. In the case of Office, a simple drag and drop won't work
