User options

I have run my computer for the longest time as just using the Admin user but I would like to change that so my main user account isnt the Admin for security reasons.  Is their any way to "copy" my Admin user and then make a new one with the lower access settings.  All I can do is make a new one but all me "personal twaeks" are gone and I would really like to keep them.  I know I could eventually get them all back but I figured their would be another way.
Thanks

Make a new administrator account, log in with it, and uncheck the 'Allow user to administer this computer' box for the old one.

  • How come the switch user option is missing from my lock screen?

    I upgrade to Lion my iMac Core 2 Duo and now when I lock the screen the switch user option is missing from the lock screen, you just have to cancel o renter as the original user, so that if another member of my family wants to switch and use the mac he or she cannot do it.
    This is what I am talking about (image taken from a lion review): http://dl.dropbox.com/u/134544/forum/Schermata%2007-2455766%20alle%2011.05.12.pn g
    The switch user option is totaly absent, I just have the cancel.
    It that a bug or what?
    Please note this happens only when I lock the screen from the screensaver, i.e. requesting the password to restart from the screensaver, if I get to the login windows all users appears correctly and people can switch back and forth.
    Thank you.

    I just talked to apple support.  They said Lion doesn't support this feature.  They gave me a work-around, which was to disable requiring a password in the screen saver.  Then enable user switching so it appears in the top right of the banner.  Note that since the screen saver no longer locks the screen, in order to actually lock the screen the user must click on the upper right user list and select something like "Login user...".
    This issue has left me disappointed with apple for a few reasons.  Hopefully someone at apple will take note:
    1. Apple removed a useful feature.
    2. Apple did not provide a response to this thread which would have been the best forum to inform users of this change.  It would have saved me and apple one long phone call.

  • My site changes cookie to store user options; worked in v3 but broke in v5/6. How do I change cookie value now?

    Some 8 months ago, I started saving user options in my cookie; as user changed options, my php code change the cookie value. I work normally with Camino, but verify with Firefox (V. 3). An associate with a newer MacBook Pro, with Firefox V. 5, tried my site and reported that the option change 'did not take'. I tried using my V.3, and everything worked. Realizing that I should be on V. 6, I upgraded today, and myself verified that the 'new' cookie value is NOT being saved. Rather, a second cookie is being created but with WITH NO VALUE. Result: old cookie has old option value; new cookie has no value. I tried also with Safari, and got this same result. So, there must be a way to update a cookie value, just unknown to me. Please advise as to new/proper header(s) to send from my server to change cookie value.

    Make sure that the cookies are created for the proper path.

  • How to use User Options and User-Defined Fields in DC Group function?

    Dears,
    As title, when should I use above fields?  I did not see the related information in SAPME help library.
    Thanks!

    The user options fields are just information fields you can store at the Data Collection Maintenance activity. You can think of these as extra information fields for storage purposes only.  I can't give you a use case except to say 'information fields' only.
    With regards to the User-Defined fields in DC Group - you can think of these as extra data fields to be collected.  They will appear immediately underneath the data parameter they are defined in in the DC Plug-in for the POD.  They do not have limits but are just extra pieces of data you may want to collect about the specific parameter.

  • Setting default user options in client-install

    Hi,
    In BPC10 MS, is there a way so set user options to a default value in the client that is installed from the Download Center, so that all new users have the same default settings. The ones I'm interested in are the ones below.
    Thanks for your input!
    /Cecilia

    Hi Cecilia,
    Modify all settings as you want them in your client.
    \%userprofile%\AppData\Local\EPMOfficeClient\EPMClientPreference.xml
    (path might be different depending on installation)
    The specific settings you are after is:
      <AutomaticRefresh>true</AutomaticRefresh>
      <AlwaysAutoUpdateCharts>true</AlwaysAutoUpdateCharts>
      <OfflineOnlyEPMReportsProtected>true</OfflineOnlyEPMReportsProtected>
    Once you have set your EPMXLClientPreference.XML as you want to have it you need to distribute it to the clients (I do not think you can do that via the download center)

  • AT300 Jelly Bean - No Users option in settings?

    Hi All,
    I was hoping with the new Jelly Bean update we could use User Profiles in Android but I don't see the "Users" option in settings which is where it should be.
    Anyone else having the same issues? or have a solution?
    Thanks

    I believe user profiles don't come into JB until 4.2.
    Although on the childrens tablet, Kurio, it has a heavily modified android OS that can allow user profiles.
    checkout http://www.android.com/whatsnew/
    Hopefully Toshiba will release 4.2 soon.

  • Configuring User Options in EPMOfficeClient.xml file

    I'd like to have the User Options to default show the same as in the bullets below.
    'Automatic Refresh on Context Changes' checked (<AutomaticRefresh>false</AutomaticRefresh>)
    'Send Parent Data to the Server on 'Save Data'' unchecked (<SendDataOnNodes>False</SendDataOnNodes>
    ‘Comment Save – Empty Comment:equal to blank (<DefaultForEmptyComment></DefaultForEmptyComment>)
    To do this I open the file EPMOfficeClient.xml with Notepad and make the changes, i.e. what is written in parenthesis in the bullets.
    For the first two bullets the changes gets revoked to what it was originally, but for the last bullet it stays the way I’ve changed it when I reopen Excel
    Any ideas to why this happens?
    Kind regards, Martin.

  • How to enable create user option in portal under user administration?

    Hi,
    In Portal, in user administration tab, always the create user and Copy to  New user option is disabled, how can i enable those?
    -Siva

    If the AS ABAP is your datasource for your users there is NO WAY you can create users in the portal UME.
    &#9679;     If the UME has read-only access, you cannot modify user attributes stored in the ABAP system, like first name and last name. You can modify attributes stored in the UME database, like street. Even if read-only access is assigned, users can still change their own passwords.
    &#9679;     If the UME has read-write access, you can create users using the tools of the J2EE Engine. Users created in this way are stored as users in the ABAP system. Extended user data that cannot be stored in the standard ABAP user record is stored in the database of the UME.
    in the read/write access the users are created only in the ABAP side and not the java. If you have the read access you cannot create users in the abap side. hence you need the SAP_BC_JSF_COMMUNICATION role to create users in the AS ABAP.....
    Trust me .......bottomline ....you cannot create users in the JAVA UME if you have AS ABAP as your datasource !!!!
    hope this helps..

  • Create users under Administration Server Create user and Refresh users options are disabled

    We have installed and configured 11.1.2.2 successfully, Essbase in standalone mode.
    When we try to create users under Administration Server Create user and Refresh users options are disabled. Please let me know how to create EAS users?
    Thanks,
    Satheesh.

    Please find below response.
    1.You can create users from EAS console using maxl, if you have not externalized the users .
    When we create using Maxl it will create for 'ESSBASE Servers' users but we want to create additional administrator users under 'Administrator Services' --> 'Users'. At the moment default 'Admin' users is created under 'Administrator Services' --> 'Users'.
    2.  you have installed your essbase in a stand -alone mode  , then the option of creating users will be enabled and you can give appropriate provision to applications.
    Yes. But the create users is disable for Admin.
    3. Through which url are you accessing EAS console is it http://Servername:19000/workspace/index.jsp ?
    http://prod-server:10080/easconsole/console.html
    Please suggest.

  • How to copy files using single user option command??

    i want to copy all fonts in library/fonts to the original fonts folder in system/library/fonts becouse i cut all fonts in the original folder to font folder under library and the mac doesn't work,but still i can access the system from single user options, and i need to know the command to copy the fonts

    Files can be moved with mv or copied using cp or ditto. Use commands such as 'man mv' for usage instructions, or check Apple's developer documentation.

  • User option in fstab not allowing non-root to mount drives

    Hi, when i try to mount my drives, mount says "only root can do that". they mount fine as root but i thought putting the user option in fstab meant any user can mount that device. My fstab is as follows
    /dev/dvd               /mnt/dvd  udf       ro,user,noauto,unhide   0      0
    /dev/hdb1             /mnt/win ntfs       user,umask=022           0      0
    i looked at the /dev devices - dvd is just a symlink to hdc. Please bear in mind i am a member of both disk and optical groups
    brw-rw----  1 root disk     3, 65 2006-05-31 10:31 hdb1
    brw-rw----  1 root optical 22, 0 2006-05-31 10:31 hdc
    Hope someone can clear this up for me as its not good being root all the time
    Thanks

    What is the exact command you are trying? As user, you must only specify either the device or the mountpoint, never both (specifying both will result in the exact error message you quoted).
    i looked at the /dev devices - dvd is just a symlink to hdc. Please bear in mind i am a member of both disk and optical groups
    brw-rw----  1 root disk     3, 65 2006-05-31 10:31 hdb1
    brw-rw----  1 root optical 22, 0 2006-05-31 10:31 hdc
    You don't need read and/or write permissions to the devices to mount them. While being in optical may prove useful for some tasks, being a member of disk is useless and irresponsible. You could read the whole filesystem (including files owned by root) and even overwrite or manipulate the whole thing without root privileges. This is a big security risk.

  • Where can the IP Communicator User Options be defined?

    Dear Forum,
    Rightclicking on the IP Communicator gives the option of "Cisco User Options" which should lead to "http://<publisher>/ccmuser"
    Does anyone know where this setting can be changed?
    Sorry for the easy question, but even though I keep searching the guidlines, I couldn't find out how to change it.
    Thanks in advance
    Roland

    Dear Forum,
    Thanks for the answer so far, I did investigate a bit further and found out...
    As soon as username and password is entered in the user options, the "Cisco User Options" can be selected by rightclicking on the communicator.
    Further, it does take the TFTP server of the IP Communicator. This appears to be a bug to me, as the TFTP server does not HAVE to be the publisher and might therefore be wrong.
    Thanks a lot for your support
    Roland
