Urgent: Assigning Permissions to the P6Reports Folder Error

Hi,
I have installed the primavera6 Release 8.3 in windows 2008.
For configuring BIP in p6,
some steps available in connecting_bi_publisher_to_P6 documnet.
As per the document, while assigning permissions to p6reports folder am getting error.
"oracle.xdo.servlet.security.AdminUser cannot be cast to oracle.xdo.servlet.security.DirectoryUser"
Please help me to solve this issue.

Hi,
The issue has been fixed.
Solution:
Log in to the oracle bi publisher with the administrator user
1> Created a new user and assign the 'BI Publisher Administrator' role.
2> Logged in as this new user, and perform the same permission action again

Kumar

Setting the permissions to the personal folder in KM

Hi steffi,
I have created the KM iview using the path /~alias~/userhome/<user.id>/Personal Documents and i have assigned to one custom role and the newly created folder is visible to only the particular loggedin user.
Now my requirement is Folder which is created for the user in the userhome should have only the read the permissions, only the admin should have full control access.
I have set the Read permissions to the Userhome folder but it didnt worked.
Can you please help me to fix this.........??
REgards,
Mahesh

Hi Steffi,
Thanks for the reply. Only Admin will create the folders not the users.
Inorder to achieve that i have created the KM Navigation iview using the path "/~alias~/userhome/<user.id>/" and assigned to one custom role.
I have loggedin as a admin and created two custom folders in path KM Content-->userhome--><user.id>, and that reflecting correctly when i loggedin as a user but they are displaying with full Access.
I tried to the change the permissions of the custom folders which are created inside the Userhome, but they are in the disable mode i am unable to change the permissions.Please find the below screen shot.
When the user loggedin for the time he should only have the read access, Can you please tell me where do i need to change.
Please correct me if i am wrong.....

Question about Removing Permissions from the System Folder with chmod

Hi
I have a question about the removal of permissions from the System folder (and sub directories and files).
Background
Since installing a new HD, clean install of 10.6, application of updates and moving over backed up user directories I have had several issues with permissions.
I have read several threads on this and using disk warrior and other tools I have been able to fix most of the issues.
The Problem
The issue that remains is a permissions check using Disk Utility keeps reporting
ACL found but not expected on "System".
followed by an extensive list of sub directories and all.
Attempts to repair take hours and the same errors are reported.
Found Solutions
I have read about changing and/or completely removing the ACL from the permissions from the System using two different commands:
sudo chmod -R -N ./System/* ( to remove all ACLs)
or
sudo chmod -R -E ./System/* ( to replace all ACLs )
My Question is ( to the UNIX gurus):
What is the difference between the usage with -E and -R and which is the best approach for a Systems directory and (subordinates)?
Many thanks!!

OK
So I misread on the your instructions about the PW reset, did it, no harm in that. I did also select the options to reset all the permissions for all the accounts and the ACL issues were not resolved. My bad, I forgot to note that.
You do suggest getting and expert opinion but alas these are rather elusive. In most cases the Apple solutions is to do a complete reinstall... I have found that unless you completely wipe a drive and rebuild everything there are often artifacts left behind. Since I have full and redundant back-ups I would rather explore and hack a little instead of a dull old system reinstall. The irony is the system issue I had was it was the result a reinstall and combo update on a new drive. I recognize the risks of entering the realms of the System folders but I am willing to explore knowing full well that I have a path to recovery.
Thanks again for your insights. I come to the forums looking for insights and ideas but not a lecture...

Can I set new shared folders to inherit permissions from the parent folder?

Am running file sharing on an OS 10.9.5 machine. This is not an OS-X Server.
9 users connect to this machine. They create folders and store files on it. All the users who connect are in a group which has read and write permissions on the volume in which they store files. But when they create new folders, the permissions on the new folder is 755. I have changed the umask to 002 and this works for users who might create a folder locally but does not work for network connected users. All users are AFP and, if it matters, are on 10.8.5. The OS versions are held back for good reason.
Is there a way to enable Inherited Permissions for new network created folders on the standard client OS?
If not, can I do so on the server OS? I have several older OS-X Server machines where this is a possibility.
(Sorry if this is a duplicate but most posts like this seem to concern locally created files and folders and not network shared folders.)

It can be done more easily with OS X Server, but you can do it anyway if you're familiar with the shell. See the section headed "ACL MANIPULATION OPTIONS" in the chmod(1) man page.

What are the correct permissions for the Home folder?

Since buying my first mac (G4 iMac) I've since bought 2 other macs & transferred my home folder from the older computer each time. Since then I've messed around with the permissions of the Home folder a few times to try share files & folders between my Windows PCs. So the permissions of the Home folder on all computers could be messed up a little.
I want to set up permissions how they should be set up as default.
I created another user account with admin priveliges & it looks like the Home folder should be set up as follows:
Owner: 'my name'
Access: Read & Write
Group: admin or 'my name'
Access: Read only
Others: Read only
And the sub folders (Documents, Pictures etc.) should be set up as follows:
Owner: 'my name'
Access: Read & Write
Group: admin or 'my name'
Access: No access
Others: No accesss
Is this correct, & if so shall I just set permissions on my Home folder exactly the same as the new account I set up?
Or is there some way of resetting permissions for the Home folder?
(I know repairing permissions with Disk Utility doesn't do this).
Power Mac G5 Dual 2.3, 2.5 GB RAM, 20 Cinema Display | MacBook Pro 2.0 15" Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Mac OS X does not have a built-in way of doing this, but you can make one yourself. Open the Script Editor in the /Applications/AppleScript/ folder and enter the following:
do shell script "chmod 755 ~"
try
do shell script "chmod 700 ~/Desktop"
end try
try
do shell script "chmod 700 ~/Documents"
end try
try
do shell script "chmod 700 ~/Library"
end try
try
do shell script "chmod 700 ~/Music"
end try
try
do shell script "chmod 700 ~/Pictures"
end try
try
do shell script "chmod 755 ~/Public"
end try
try
do shell script "chmod 755 ~/Sites"
end try
This script can be saved as an application, which makes it possible to fix the permissions on a home folder with two clicks. The try statements are included so that the script will run if a folder doesn't exist. If the ~ object is a symbolic link, the permissions on it may not be changed; you can use the code block
tell application "Finder"
set the_home to POSIX path of (home as alias)
end tell
do shell script ("chmod 755 " & the_home)
in this case. The rest of the script works as before.

Can anyone post an overview of the permissions of the server folder

I saved the server data on an external drive.
I accidently cut off the power source. All services had failures since then.
So I thought I could repair it if I would just restore the whole system from the TM Backup from a time before the cut off.
All services do work now except Mail, Profile Manager and Wiki.
So I stopped Mail again, deleted all its data from the server folder(s) and restored it manually from TM.
Now I have huge permission problems. How can I fix this? I don't know how the permissions should be? Can anyone tell me, please?!

Hello jschell,
thank you for your answer.
let me try to clarify question with a few more facts about that what i want to do.
I saw a example where the .dll file wich should be uses has been made available with:
System.loadLibrary("XTapi");<<and the methods that are used has been declared with:
private native int initTapi();<< for exampleWhat i want to do is, to access the methods of tapi32.dll file of windows in the same way, but there is nowhere to find a documentation about this file.
You have a JNI library and you are not the owner or at least you do not have the source code.
The JNI methods in the dlls cannot be accessed via java in any other manner than what the java code of the library already does. That is because the C signature of the name depends on the java package and class names.
As I noted you can find the methods of the dll. You could, with a LOT of work reverse engineer the dll.
So,can anybody tell me weather there is a way in JNI to get more Informations about the methodes in that file?As I already said, there are OS specific tools that allow you to determine at least the name of the method. I suspect that is all the information that exists.

Limiting User permissions to the user folder

Hello,
So I have recently been placed in charge of a network. The prior network administrator arranged the permissions so that users have access to the user folder on the server. The issue comes in where unauthorized users can access other user's documents
on their desktop or in the other user's My Documents. I have tried changing the permissions so that users only have access to their own user folder, but so far any change to the permissions cuts the user off from their own desktop and documents.
Is their a way to limit users access so they only have access to their own user profile?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
Is the profile roaming profile are local profile. if roaming profile the fileserver Share folder should have the permission administrator full permission and user read permission
In active directory user properties on the profile select \\servername\sharename\%username%
This will resolve your problem
Thanks

Adobe Presenter is unable to publish this presentation. Please check that you have enough disk space and you have appropriate permissions for the destination folder.

I have Presenter 10 and published already my presentation to adobe connect. But now I cannot do that any more. I can't publish to my computer or as pdf also. I used collaboration and then put it off, but no effects. Where is the problem?

Hello Thomas,
I also deleted files in C:\Windows\Temp, but that didn't help, I still don't have a presenter add in icon in a ribbon, but under the new windows account I have presenter in a ribbon.
I am using Adobe Presenter 10, MS PowerPoint 2013 and Windows 7 Professional (Service Pack 1). On my "old" account I can see presenter in File, Options, Add-Ins as Inactive Application Add Ins. Every time I check it to be active, but all without result. So I prepare the slides on my account and go to another account for publishing. I'll be happy to resolve this problem.

I'm getting an error message in Lightroom 6 when I try to export a photo. It's "The specified folder is not writable". It doesn't matter which folder I pick, I get the same message. However, if I open the image in photoshop and then save it, it works just

I've already reset my lightroom preferences, didn't work. I also uninstalled, and reinstalled lightroom. Didn't work either.
I have no problems with any other programs including photoshop, so this has to be an issue with lightroom.
Also, I can import from a memory card using lightroom and save to them to the folders just fine, the error only comes when I'm exporting a photo after I'm done editing in.
I'm running windows 8.1 and the folders are all onedrive folders. (I have unlimited onedrive storage so I take full advantage of it.) I've always saved them this way, and only started having trouble after updating to Lightroom 6

The problem with write permissions for the OneDrive folder only shows up in Lightroom 6's export dialogue, that's why it's to irritating. Lightroom 5.7.1 is not having that problem nor does the file explorer. The problem also exists on both of my machines. I will try to check for other problems with the OneDrive troubleshooter though: Running the OneDrive troubleshooter - Windows Help

Unable to create the temporary folder. Error 183 when starting Distiller

New information discovered - see end of message!
Full error message is (window title is Acrobat Distiller):
"Unable to create the temporary folder
Error: 183 - cannot create a file when that file already exists."
I have no idea what file or what folder it is referring to. This is on an x86 Vista notebook and the message comes up when starting the notebook and also if you manually start Distiller 8. Updating did not help, nor did turning off the UAC, or running Distiller as Administrator. In the latter case, Distiller will open correctly, but the next time you need to use it, it fails. With the UAC turned off, the behavior is for it to show the Distiller window for a fraction of a second and close immediately. I also gave the user full rights to the C:\Program Files\Adobe folder and lower. Made no difference.
Coincidental with this is that the PDFMOfficeAddIn.dll add-in will not enable in Word - when it is checked, and I hit OK, I get the message:
"The connected state of Office Add-Ins registered in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE cannot be changed."
All of this is going on when logged in as an administrator. I have seen folks post about this issue, but no answers that actually fiux the problem, just suggest what I have already tried. Anyone seen this one?
The user is highly mobile, so I am not going to have a chance to work on her computer again until next week.
NEW INFO
I tried removing and reinstalling as administrator and the problem remains. However while trying to troubleshoot, I discovered some more details.
The message is being thrown when acrotray.exe is started as a process in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Control Set\Run and then tries to run acrodist.exe (which fails, BTW). If I don't let it run there and run acrotray,exe as administrator, then acrodist.exe runs as a process without an error. Additionally, stopping it from running in the registry, and then starting MS Word, the Acrobat add-in does load and even though there is an error thown, it still creates the PDF! I have other Vista 32 notebooks running various Acrobat versions with no problems.
Another key thing I found out is that Acrobat started throwing the error after an HP Scanjet 8400 and its software were installed. I tried explicitly giving the user (already an administrator) full rights to the Acrobat, HP and Read IRIS directories. Did not help the problem. I have to think that there is some interaction there, but sure don't know what it is.

what i did to eliminate that error message, i don't think it eliminated th
e problem but now i can reboot and log in OK, was 2 things:
i went into my system registry and unchecked to start at startup and then disavled it.
i also had to go to each adobe icon, right click, go to properites, and than make all selections set to be administator.

What should default permissions be of the Groups folder be?

While trying to sort out our Group shared folders permissions problems I might have changed the permissions of the Group folder (/Volumes/Server/Groups) in Server Admin.
Can anyone tell me what the default permissions for that folder should be?

I had a similar problem:
<http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5876784#5876784>
and Gerrit came to the rescue! Wonder if you migrated from Tiger and if so then the above thread might have some answers for you. Seems like the standard Group ID (gid) changed from Tiger to Leopard and has wreaked havoc on file sharing. I was able to remedy my situation (so far - still not thoroughly tested) by changing the gid of all files back to 20...which matches "staff" on the clients. This is still confusing and Apple's documentation is half-baked regarding this as far as I'm concerned.

How do I restore the user to the home folder permissions?

I just got an iMac from a friend and had changed the username and password for the administrator user. Then I was going to change the home folder name. I was looking at the info on the home folder (which at this point is still tied to the old user). I inadvertantly removed the user from the permissions before adding the new username or even allowing all users to access the home folder. Now I cannot access the home folder at all. How do I restore the permissions to the home folder or add the user back to the allowed users with access to the home folder?

dalefromdallas,
First you should do a clean install of the computer, while your friend may have included apps, they do not belong to you unless your friend gave y ou the install media and license codes. Considering the machine is also running 10.9.2. this machine will be forever tied to his AppleID which exposes him financially. You should get the 10.6.X DVD from your friend (I'm assuming he upgrade from 10.6.x at some point) and do an erase and install, then update it to 10.6.8 then upgrade yourself to 10.9.2 Mavericks. Then you will have a clean system, otherwise you will be working with a pretty kludged system that will probably be trouble.

HT3275 How do I correct this problem - Time Machine could not complete back up. An error occurred while creating the backup folder? The problem started on 5th March but I had backed up to an iomega HD since I got my iMac in October.

I have had a problem since 5th March with Time Machine on my iMac. I have had no problem since I got the computer in October backing up to an iomega HD but now I keep getting a message that "Time Machine could not complete the backup. An error occurred while creating the backup folder". Anyone know how to correct this?

I had the same "Error creating the backup folder" error - many times over.
I went into the Disk Utility, selected the Backup Disk and ran Verify. It checked out OK. But if not, could have run Repair.
Then did a complete shutdown and restart of the iMac and then tried "Backup Now" from the Time Machine icon's menu - it worked fine.

Permissions Issue with the "Shared" Folder

Hello,
I’ve been encountering what appears to be an odd bug concerning permissions, notably during the use of the “Shared” folder (/Users/Shared). And I’ve looked around to find solutions, but haven’t come across a similar problem. Hence the post.
Here’s how it works—or, rather, how it doesn’t work. Two people are using one computer (a MacBook Pro running 10.6.3) and would like to share documents, being able to read and write to them.
From what I can understand, any document created in a folder should take on that folder’s access privileges. Since the permissions for the “Shared” folder indicate “Read and Write” privileges for all three groups (Me, staff, everyone), then any document created therein should, in principle, allow members of all three groups to read and write to it.
Well, to cut a long story short, it doesn’t. Whenever a document is created in the “Shared” folder (with Pages or TextEdit, for example), the “Get Info” window shows that only the user who created it has “Read and Write” privileges. Members of the other two groups only have “Read” privileges.
I ran the “ls –l” command in Terminal on the “Shared” folder, and here is an example of the output for one of the files:
–rw–r– –r– –@ 1 username staff 342 31 Jan 17:08 Test.rtf
As far as I can understand, this shouldn’t be happening. I’ve tried logging out and logging back in, rebooting, and repairing permissions from the original installation disk (no problems detected), but nothing changes and I still encounter the same scenario.
Has anyone run across this issue before? And would anyone know what might be wrong, or even how to fix it?
Thanks to anyone who might be able to shed some light on this detail to help me understand what is going on here.
Best regards,
Stephen

I suppose you are working on the Mac?
Which version of the OS?
Go to the finder, hold down the ALT key and call G, there select the User Library (the one without a shortcut, this entry is without the ALT key not visible).
Check the permissions of the preferences folder. Select the folder CMD+I
You must have permission to read and write.

Altered Permissions in users home folder

Help! I seem to have screwed up my friend's installation of 10.3.9 by messing up file/folder access privileges in her home folder. I was helping her to get some work done and now I have created a monster...
Briefly
Access permissions on her whole Home Folder (the Admin account) seem to all be set to another user's permissions (not Admin) and I haven't been able to reset them all recursively using Get Info. I have had partial success but some things refuse to run.
Before I run BatchMod on her whole home folder, is there anything I should beware of? I have seen similar but not identical problems here. More details below:
What Happened
In order to run some Leopard-only Apps on her TiBook G4 I booted from my external drive running 10.4.9 and all went smoothly until I needed to access files on her user account's Desktop (located at MacHD/Users/Her_Username/desktop) but didn't have permission. So I altered permissions for the desktop folder (and applied to underlying folders) with Get Info as the Admin running 10.4 from the Firewire drive...
So far, so good, but when it came to restoring her access permissions, I coudn't see her Account name on the dropdown menu as it is not a user on the system I was running via the Firewire drive. So I restarted from her hard drive and, so far as I am aware, restored the Ownership and Permissions for her desktop and all files on it back to her Username.
However...
After restarting, her whole Home folder (i.e. not just the desktop folder) seems to belong to the other user account on her Laptop even though it still sits in her User folder. Loads of Apps have problems or won't run at all because they cannot access caches, plists and other data in her Library.
Spookily, the trash is empty and stays that way - anything I trash vanishes for ever after a warning dialogue. Also, many apps think they are running for the first time, even though I have restored permissions within preferences. And Firefox refuses to run because it says there is another copy already running on the machine - which there isn't.
The good news is that the System folder and other users are unaffected, though it is a mystery how the permissions got changed in her whole home folder (right the way down) to the name of another user. I'm not normally that stupid - and if I can do it one way, why can't I redo it the other way? Could I have provoked the system into throwing a tantrum?
I have manually restored lots of things but have now decided on Batch Mod to save time (and sanity). I presume there will be invisible files that need changing to allow access to the trash and various registration data etc - can I do this with BatchMod and can I safely apply BatchMod to the whole Home Folder?
Help please!
Gaberdine

Thanks, Niel
I shall do that as soon as I get the chance (after backing up what I can just to be safe).
FWIW I no longer think I am the responsible for all the changed access permissions because preferences (eg Dock), favourites and cookies seem to have been copied from the other user account too! For instance, the BBC homepage thinks she lives in a different part of England (as per the other User Account)!
This is weird; I suspect the software that apparently caused freezes and hangs - and some permissions error messages - under 10.3.9 (hence my booting from the firewire drive in 10.4) is actually responsible for messing things up.
Makes me feel kinda better but it's still me thats gotta sort it out...
