  • How do i change the access rights for every file in every sub-folder?

    I have an external drive that was shared between my PC and my iMac (running Snow Leopard 10.6.5).
    Some of the files created by my PC have the following access rights (privileges):
    Me: Custom
    staff: Custom
    everyone: Custom
    I want every file to have the following access rights (privileges):
    Me: Read & Write
    staff: Read & Write
    everyone: Read & Write
    I presume that I need to go into the terminal and run some command line program, but I have no idea what program or what options (or even where to look for such a program). Can someone tell me how to do this, so that every file in every sub-folder has the same access rights?

    Well, that's different. Most people do not install anything on their PC to read an HFS+ disk, so I assumed it was formatted for the PC. [See my above post|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12843313#12843313].
    Note that it is the same as what you asked about, except with numbers instead of the letter equivalents.
    Posix permissions are for User;Group;Other (ugo) and each one can have read/write/execute permissions. Read = 4, Write = 2, and Execute = 1. So, for rwx you set 421=7.
    I try to make it safe by not typing in the file path. If you do what you posted, you will change the startup volume's permissions. The path to your external is /Volumes/ext hd mount point. If you start typing the path and accidentally hit return before finishing the full path, you could fubar something you didn't want to. So, I type the command, leave a space, and then drag the target to the Terminal window.
    You might also consider the GUI based permission changing program, [BatChmod|http://www.macchampion.com/arbysoft/BatchMod/Welcome.html].

  • How to check the access right for a specific SAP object like MaterialMaster

    Hi!
    How can I check if I have the right to change a specific object like a material or document in SAP vie RFC. I need a remote able function which tells me, if I have enough rights! Or, if such a function does not exist, how can I write my own ABAP code to do this?
    Thanks,
    Konrad

    Hi,
    When initiating a transaction, a system program performs a series of checks to ensure the user is authorized.
    1. The program checks whether the transaction code exists in table TSTC.
    2. The program checks whether the transaction code is locked by the administrator (transaction code SM01).
    3. The program checks whether the user has the authority to start the transaction. Authorization object S_TCODE (transaction start) contains the authorization field TCD (transaction code). The user must have the appropriate authorization for the transaction code to be started (for example, FK01, Create Vendor).
    4. The program checks whether an authorization object is assigned to the transaction code. If this is the case, the program checks whether the user has an authorization for this authorization object. The transaction code/authorization object assignment is stored in table TSTCA.
    Note: An SAP program controls steps 1 through 4. It displays an automatic message to the user if an authorization attempt fails in the step.
    5. The system performs authorization checks in the ABAP program using the ABAP statement AUTHORITY-CHECK.

  • HT5306 I do not want to give remote access to anyone but myself as privacy is my friend.  Can this remote desktop software still be for me personally unless I allow access and for my MAC lap top only?  What if I do not update? compatibility issues with wh

    Hello:
    Thank you for the update for remote access for desktops.
    Personally, I do not want to give remote access to anyone but myself as privacy is my friend.  Can this remote desktop software still be for me personally unless I allow access and for my MAC lap top only?  What if I do not update? I do use this lap top in other countries.  compatibility issues with what?

    Apple Remote Desktop is off be default. It has to be enabled for some one to be able to remotely connect to the computer. And then, you still have to have a user name and password on the computer to remotely connect with.
    If you want to see if remote access has is enabled for Apple Remote Desktop; you can find the setting in, Apple Menu, System Prefrences, Sharing. If it's enabled, Remote Management or Screen Sharing will be checked.
    Beucase Apple Remote Desktop Agent is part of the Mac Operating System; even if your not using it, Apple Software Updates will from time to time offer updates for ARD Agent. Software Updates can some times be stacked ontop of each other; so chosing not to install an update, can mean other updates you may want may not be offered. At least until you install the updates those updates require. Also software updates can improve the security of your computer.

  • Problems Managing User Access Rights for Web Gallery

    Has anyone else had issues changing the user access rights for a web gallery? It seems like the access is everyone or no one. Are the user rights handled per event in the gallery? I had issues adding events to the user's view/download rights in the publish settings.
    Also, can these settings only be set when an event is first published? Attempting to change the user access rights after the event is published seems to require a re-upload of the images.
    Any thoughts?

    Problem solved.
    I had to put the following lines in the specified "0000_any_80.my.website.conf" file:
            <Directory "/Library/WebServer/subdomain.domain">
                    Options All +MultiViews -ExecCGI -Indexes -Includes
                    AllowOverride None
                    # For Password protection
                    AuthType Digest
                    AuthName "Password Protection"
                    require valid-user
                    <IfModule mod_dav.c>
                            DAV Off
                    </IfModule>
            </Directory>

  • How can I make a file not read only? Using LV6.0, I have tried the Access Rights VI w/o luck.

    I am talking about any file in windows 98 that has the read only box checked when I look at the properties of the file from Windows Explorer. I can can get rid of the check from the properties box, but I want to do it programmaticaly in LabView.

    Hi,
    Wire in '448' to the 'New Permissions' of the Access Rights VI. This will set the file as readable, writable and executable. I just tried this (on WinNT, though).
    The 'permissions' parameter is a 16-bit integer where the least 9 bits are used. Of these, for Windows, bits 8, 9, and 10 (0-indexed) are important (i.e. if these are set = integer 448). See online Help for full details.
    Hope this helps,
    Khalid

  • Grant the access rights to manager run the work flow history report without edit /delete rights

    I found that only Team Member / Workspace creator / Administrator can run

    which need ask the supervisor for 1st approval and manager for 2nd approval.
    But those managers want to see who prepare the P.O. and supervisor done the
    first approval before their 2nd approval. How can I can grant the access
    right to the manager to run the work flow history report for this purpose? I
    tried grant the role "team member" to those manager, however, it will also
    allow them to modify or delete the entry as they are the team member, but we
    only want allow those managers can approve the entry and view the work flow
    history without other acces such as add/delete/edit to prevent the human
    mistake.
    Pls advise how can I do this? Thanks!

  • HT4796 I´m trying to migrate from my old PC to my mac, but in the migration assistance of my PC, the legend "waiting for your mac to connect" continues ever for ever, never appears the passcode. What can I do?

    The transfer of content from sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve music files and playlists from your iPod. I use Senuti but have a look at the web pages and documentation for the others too, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well. This is just a small selection of what's available, you can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
    Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Comparison of iPod managers
    Senuti Mac Only (Currently only the beta version is iPod Touch & iPhone compatible)
    PodView Mac Only
    PodWorks Mac Only
    iPodDisk PPC Mac Only (experimental version available for Intel Macs)
    TuneAid Mac only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac & Windows
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows
    iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    Floola Mac & Windows
    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide

  • Specifying access rights for page tabs

    Hello
    I have trouble with specifying access rights for tabs that are inside another tab.
    I have a group named "Customers" and a group for each of our customer companies. The company-groups are all members of the Customers group.
    Then i created a tab called "Customers" which i specified access rights to the Customers group.
    Under the customers tab, i created one tab for each customer and i've specified access rights to each tab.
    I want to accomplish that customers who log into the portal only are able to see theyr own tab, but this doesn't seem to work properly.
    Have anyone had this problem before?
    Regards
    Per-Jarle Sfther

    Per-Jarle,
    Are you sure that the users are not part of a group that is included in the group you gave access to on the tab?

  • How do I find out which battery is right for my mac pro 13 inch Processor  2.4 GHz Intel Core i5 late 2011 model

    how do I find out which battery is right for my mac pro 13 inch Processor  2.4 GHz Intel Core i5 late 2011 model

    You could try ringing apple and seeing if they will give you a model number for the battery and then find one on google. Or you may even be able to order one from apple themselves.
    They have support numbers for all over the world, in case you don't have the number you need, this is the support number website with all the numbers all over the world:

  • DMS 5.1: Access-rights for category not inherited

    If the dms-user adds a new category the access-right will be not inherited to this new directory. Is this a bug?

    Unfortunately then, the objects for which you need to set rights are not exposed.
    I recall you needed to be a part of the Administrators group to be able to save a QaaWS.

  • How to retrieve access rights for an user/usergroup ?

    Hello everybody.
    I'm working on BO XI 3.1. And I have to develop with the .NET SDK package an application that retrieves the following data :
    - the access rights to WEBI application and properties for each user/user group.
    - the access rights to each folder and properties for each user/user group.
    etc
    The idea is to retrieve for an user/usergroup the access right on each property of WEBI application and softwares. and same thing for folders....
    I'm looking at the .NET SDK package contents but it takes me a lot of time, even too compared to my deadlines. So I'm looking for help.
    Does anyone have an idea about class of objects, properties and methods to use ?
    Thank you in advance for your help.

    Thanks for these samples.
    The list of user and usergroups is very interesting to audit CMC but my need is different : for example, I'm looking a method to retrieve the level access (full control, no access, ...) of an usergoup on each webi's property. The reason ? To know for example which usergroups have fullcontrol access on the right name "edit SQL" ?
    I think it's hard to retrieve but very interesting to audit CMC...

    Whats the use? What its effect in purhcase and taxe..
    brief me please

    Hi,
    you are asked to maintain the access sequence for the tax condition for which you are putting 7.5%.
    goto OBQ1 or img..financial accounting new...global settings.... taxes on sales and purchases ......basic settings.....
    find the tax condition type. see in it which access sequence is attached.
    if there is none then use JTAX used for taxes in India.
    or you can create the similar one for your.
    to create the same goto OBQ2.
    new entry or copy JTAX.
    and assign the access sequence to condition type.
    this will resolve your problem if you just need to assign the access sequence.
