Want to change my Permissions on my account

Hi. I need to update my "Personal" account to have the same access as the root. When I go into "Accounts" it lists my account as "admin". Yet I still can't access everything.
Is there a way to make my login account equal to root?

Okay,
Here's the way I dealt with the permissions problem:
Right-click on a folder that is giving you trouble. I would suggest you start with the folders in the main directory of your hard drive, as in Macntosh HD\Video\ as opposed to Macintosh HD\Video\Final Cut Projects\.
Choose "Get Info" from the menu
At the bottom of this window, you will see "Sharing & Permissions." Left-click on the lock icon at the bottom left. Assuming your account has administrator privileges it will prompt you for a username and password then allow you to edit the permissions.
You should see the name of your account listed (with "me" next to it in parenthesis), along with "Read & Write" in the "Privileges" column.
If you only see "Read" in the Privileges column, left-click the up/down arrows and choose "Read & Write."
If don't see your account listed at all, hit the "plus" icon and choose your account.
If your current account is the primary user, I would suggest highlighting your account and selecting "Make ACCOUNT NAME (Me) the Owner" from the asterisk drop-down menu to the left of the plus/minus buttons.
Once you're satisfied with your choices, choose "Apply to Enclosed Items" from the asterisk menu. This will take a second, as it is changing the permissions for the files and folders saved within this file.
Now, if someone who has more Mac experience and/or a deeper knowledge of permissions and file structure sees something wrong with these instructions, please let me know. I figured this out because I had to get access to my Media HD, not because I was trained in Leopard theory.
But so far it's worked for me -aside from loosing and FCP 5.1 project . . . one of my files can no longer be loaded by FCP. But I did reinstall FCP after erase and install of leopard, so I think it has to do with FCP versions more then permissions issues.
Is this what you needed?
CMF
If you see any accounts listed as "unknown" select them and then hit the "minus" button at the bottom.

I want to use only my primary account which I pay many apps in my iDevices and I want to change my email of primary account to chicky.viruz@***. How can I do for this case. I don't want to miss my purchased app from my primary account. Please contact me back for the process.

    Hi Athichat,
    you have two issues:
    1. Change of email of Primary Account.
    You can change your Apple ID name, password, or billing information at any time.
    To change your account information:
    Choose Store > View My Account.
    Click the Edit button.
    Make your changes, and then click Done.
    Your changes take effect immediately.
    If you also use your Apple ID in other applications, you don’t need to update your information in those applications. The changes you make in iTunes apply to all applications in which you use your Apple ID.
    2. Delete Secondary Account
    You can't currently delete an account, all you can do is remove any personal info from it and stop using it - any content that you bought/downloaded via that account will remain tied to it

  • I want to change the email address on my account how can I do so?

    I want to change the email on my account since I lost the password to that email account. Please help

    If you have a new email address then create a new mail account for that email address.
    In Thunderbird:
    File > New > select 'Existing mail account'
    or
    Menu Icon > New Messages > select 'Existing mail account'
    when creating the mail account, make sure you select the type of mail account you require...Pop or IMAP
    more info here:
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/automatic-account-configuration?esab=a&s=new+mail+account&r=0&as=s
    If you have the same email address but want to change the server it uses.
    If you currently have an IMAP mail account and you are wanting to close it, you would need to get a copy of any emails into Local Folders first.
    Synchronise the folder for offline use, then in offline mode get a copy of emails into Local Folders.
    If you have a pop mail account, the emails are already on your computer.
    To change the server, but not email address:
    you will need to know your server settings first.
    Thenright click on mail account name in Folder Pane and select 'Settings'
    select the Server sEttings for the account
    or Tools > Account Settings > Server Settings for the account
    Change as necessary
    server name:
    Port:
    Connection Security:
    In the left Pane, at the bottom Select 'Outgoing Server (SMTP)
    click on 'Add'
    create the new outgoing server entering the server details
    username: = full email address
    then click on OK
    then select the account in the left Pane
    at the bottom on the right side:
    Outgoing Server (SMTP)
    click on the drop down selectionand locate the new outgoing server.
    then click on OK to save changes.

  • Can you change the permissions on a single html file in the root of a MOSS 2007 site?

    I know what the right answer is, the correct way to implement this is to create a library off the root and place the file that needs to have unique permissions into this library and either change the permissions of the library or of the individual file itself. 
    Anyways, that's what we're going to do...
    However, I'm curious...  Is there a way to change the permissions of a file that was manually placed in the root of a MOSS 2007 site?  I've tried through the GUI and through Designer, and also searched the WWW with no luck.  Is this even doable? 
    We don't want to change the permissions on the entire site, just that one file.
    Thanks,
    -Richard.

    Hi Richard,
    I thinks the file on the root directory of a SharePoint site is unable to be set with a unique permission, SharePoint securable object are web, list/library, list/library iteml, as what you're going to do, the workaround is
    to put the file in a libary and grant the unique permission.

  • Changing file permissions in java

    Hi..
    I am creating log files using file handler class.They are created with some permissions in linux. Now I want to change the permissions of the those log files.
    I run this java code only once..so it should modify the permissions of the existing log files and the permissions of the new files getting created as well.
    Could u any one shed some light on it...
    Thanks in advance..

    Kiran,
    There are several ways to do this. I guess the easiest would be to change the "umask" of the (linux) user who is launching OC4J -- that way, any file created by that user will have the required permissions. Isn't that better than creating the files with the wrong permissions (in the first place) and them trying to change them afterward? (Or have I misunderstood your question?)
    Anyway, I fail to see how this is connected to OC4J?
    Good Luck,
    Avi.
