Which group belongs a user to

I have two older user accounts which were created by OS 10.2 or later and all times migrated over to newer OS versions. I do have some trouble with Fontbook and I tried all solutions I found here in the forum.
Now, I took a look with terminal to the users Library folder and see, that many folders are owned by the user (which should be) but the groups vary from staff and some belongs to wheel. Can this be make some apps not working properly? And what, if I use a tool like Font Fing... for setting new groups to all folders inside of user/Library/?
Are the correct group a user belongs to in his user home is staff? Does the group wheel come from a older OS install?

Yes, the 'wheel' group comes from one of your older installs. I think around the 10.4 -> 10.5 upgrade, group 'staff' was made the default owner group for all users. So, any new stuff you added to your home folder got the 'staff' group, and so it's not unexpected that you'll see a mix of old group and new group corresponding to old and new data.
Improper group affiliation could be causing you some problems, though I can't say for sure. However, it should be OK for you to change all your user's data so that 'staff' is the group owner...

Which group is a user member of ?

Hi
I am using Iplanet 5.1. I have searched almost everywhere
for a solution for this :
How du you see which groups a user is member of ?
Hope one of you have the solution
Vh.

Dynamic group is not a group (I mean entry containing list of members) but an entry containing one ldap filter.
e.g. Mygroup (dynamic group) "contains" all users in Tokyo. ldap filter is (l=tokyo).
That's it. No member. Nothing but ldap filter.
As a result, if you want ot check ALL groups user belongs to, you will have to:
1 - retrieve user's DN.
2 - search all groups where uniquemember=[DN you retrieved]
3 - retrieve all ldap filters describing dynamic groups.
4 - check for each of them, if filter applies to user's entry. This can be done by either building the static group matching dynamic description and then compare uniquemember (can be VERY heavy) or by comparing filter against user's entry. Is location (l) = tokyo for this user ?
As you may understand, managing dynamic groups is not compatible with your request that is to retrieve all groups user belongs to. This is why - I suppose - version 5.x brings "roles". With roles, this information is stored within user's entry. This is easier for you. On the other hand, this is heavier if your goal is to retrieve all members of a given role. Nothing is perfect.
You do have to understand your goal and how you will manage it before deciding if you will use static groups, dynamic groups or roles (or most likelly, all of these features).
All have pros and cons.

How to get tasks assigned to me or group in which I belong to using Search Query?

Hello,
I want to get the tasks assigned to me or tasks assign to me in which I belong to. I know how to get it using CAML query however I want to get it in my custom search display template using Content Search Web Part.
<Or>
<Membership Type="CurrentUserGroups">
<FieldRef Name="AssignedTo"/>
</Membership>
<Eq>
<FieldRef Name="AssignedTo"/>
<Value Type="Integer">
<UserID/>
</Value>
</Eq>
</Or>
Please let me know how to filter tasks assign to group in which I belong to.
Here is query which shows tasks assign to me but not to tasks assign to my groups
(ContentType:Task OR ContentType:RequestTaskContentType OR ContentType:DelegacyAccountingContentType) AND
AssignedTo:{User.Name} AND
-Status:Completed AND -Status:Closed AND Status:"Not Applicable"
Thanks & Regards,
Jay
Jayesh Prajapati

Hi Jay,
No, you can filter tasks assign to group in which you belong to using Content Search Web Part. Because there is no Query variable for current user group in SharePoint 2013 Search Query. You can have a look at the article:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-in/library/jj683123.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
For a workaround, you can use the My Tasks web part outside of MySites:

Which group a contact belongs in

I'm not sure if this question belongs here so apologies up front if it doesn't. It's really a cross product question. I have set up groups in my contact list. I noticed recently that if I add a new contact and don't add it to a group it stays in All Contacts which makes sense. However, I set up groups so I did not have to show All Contacts. When I view a contact, is there a way to see which group it belongs in? If I'm viewing All Contacts, there's no way for me to see if I've already added that contact to a group or if I need to.
Thanks.

Hold down the option key. The groups will highlight in yellow.

Set Up Users in PS 9.1 - Which pages belong to which module

Hello all,
I'm trying to set up some users in our PS Financials 9.1 environment but I have a little problem.
I don't have much PS experience yet and so I don't know which pages belong to which modules so it is difficult to set up permission lists and roles.
Can anyone tell me where I could find some kind of list of all pages belonging to the different modules?
Kind Regards,
Stijn

Stijn,
One option is to review the delivered roles and permission lists to see what pages are assigned.
Another option is to use a PeopleSoft-delivered page under
PeopleTools->Portal->View Menu Folder Structure
but it tends to be slow to return results. If you start by using the advanced search where Parent Menu Folder = Root, you will get a list of all of the top-level folders.
This page uses the PSPRSMDEFN table, and if you have some expertise in using query, SQL, or some reporting tools, you can query it directly. You can run a simple query like
select * from psprsmdefn where portal_name='EMPLOYEE' and PORTAL_PRODUCT='GL';
for example, to get all of the portal objects for general ledger. The menu/component name is stored in portal_uri_seg1/protal_uri_seg2.
HRMS 9.0 delivered a good app engine report, but it wasn't available in FSCM 9.0. I'm hoping Oracle was smart and made it part of PT8.50, but I haven't checked. Unfortunately, I don't recall the name of the report.

Bob

HT2486 Is it possible to notate in each Adress Book Card which Groups it belongs to?

It would be helpful to know ofr each Address Book entry which Groups they belong to. Does anyone know how to notate on each entry which Groups they belong to?

idip31 said on http://www.reddit.com/r/apple/comments/2juazy/can_you_nickname_your_credit_cards _associated/ that "You cannot change the name of the card to a nick name. And you can't change the design, it will be whatever is associated to it by ApplePay/Bank".
Hopefully a feature like this will be added in a future update of the stock application.

How can I see in which Group the workspace has been created ?

Hi,
The BeehiveOnline Tutorial on slide 7 shows that Workspaces are created within a Group.
Also the Group Administration screen suggests this as I can indicate that user ABC gets the role 'Workspace Creator' in one Group but same user ABC does not get the role 'Workspace Creator' in another Group. (what else is the purpose of this role within Group Administration)
But when I created my workspace, the system did not ask in which Group I wanted it to be created, neither can I see in the Settings of the new Workspace to which Group it belongs.
Can you please help ?
Thanks,
Peter

Peter,
Workspaces and groups can be confusing - apologies that it was not clear.
Perhaps some background as to why I described it that way may help.
BeehiveOnline relies on groups to be self-sufficient - if you are in one group your world of available participants is that group and that group alone. So if you want to create a new workspace and add users they can only be drawn from that group. - hence the workspaces within a group setup. However, if you are in multiple groups then the linkage gets broken as you could add members to a workspace from different groups - if you needed many group to share a repository of read-only info for instance. This is in wide use on BeehiveOnline. Read and Write access is more of a problem as if anyone updates a document or creates one their id will be attached to it and if they are in a group you as a workspace member cannot see it will cause confusion.
So workspaces are only group restricted if there is only one group. If you have multiple groups you have more scope but have to exercise more care.
Hope that explains it.

Windows 2008 r2 Server: Cant update the group belonging

Hello,
I have a Windows 7 client computer which is administered by a Windows 2008 Server.
When I try to change the local grants of the user account in that client computer, it appears to me the following message:
"Cant update the group belonging for NameDomain\user"
As result I cant change local grants for the user. I cant change his status from administrator to user of that machine.
Can anybody tell me how can I solve this issue?
Thanks in advance
Regards

Hi,
Thanks for your feedback. Did you mean that the issue exists after you removed
DameWare tools?
Please make sure that you have more than one administrator account on your computer, or you can't change it to a standard account since Windows requires at least one administrator account on a computer.
If you have another administrator account, you can try to use it to change the user’s account type.
Best regards,
Susie

Configuring group policy for user profiles in Windows Server 2012 R2 Domain

Requesting some experts advise on configuring group policy for user profiles.
We will be building new Windows Server 2012 R2 Domain Controllers (Domain of 400 users).
The settings which I am concerned:
1. Folder Redirection: Desktop, Documents, Favorites.
2. Quota for Folder Redirection - 1 GB per user.
3. Map a networked drive - 1 GB per user.
4. Roaming profile - (Will ignore if it does not suit our requirement).
The question is how outlook profile will be retained / automatically moved if the users move from once computer to other?
FYI, E-mails hosted on MS Office365 and OST file size of few users more than 25GB. So, in case the user moves from one computer to other, the entire mailbox will be downloaded via internet. This consumes high bandwidth if more than 3-4 users shift per day.
Thanks a lot for your valuable time and efforts.

Hi,
>>The question is how outlook profile will be retained / automatically moved if the users move from once computer to other?
This depends on where our outlook data files are stored. If these data files are stored under
drive:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local, then these files can’t be redirected, for folder redirection can’t redirect appdata local or locallow.
However, regarding your question, we can refer to the following thread to find the solution.
Roam outlook profiles without roaming profiles
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/3908b8e0-8f44-4a34-8eb5-5a024df3463e/roam-outlook-profiles-without-roaming-profiles
In addition, regarding how to configure folder redirection, the following article can be referred to for more information.

Google Contacts API 2.0: Add option to select which groups are synced

This has been a requested issue for quite some time now:
*1) Add an option to control what Google Contact groups are synced in ITunes*
Currently, if you sync to Google Contacts, iTunes will pull in EVERY contact from your Google Contact list. That includes those contacts filed under "Suggested Contacts", which lists contacts you email on a frequent basis. The workaround for this is to delete your Suggested contacts every time you sync your iPhone, or risk the issue of having hundreds of new junk contacts in your iPhone.
I understand that there was an issue in the Google API before, the issue being that there was no way to distinguish between which group the contacts were coming from. That issue is now gone, it was corrected in the update of the Google API to 2.0 on December 12th. Now, when syncing, the ability to distinguish which groups the contacts exist in is there. Below is the documentation of those changes:
http://code.google.com/apis/contacts/docs/2.0/developers_guide.html
With Google's update, the iTunes implementation of syncing Google Contacts can allow the selection of only specific groups to sync.
As said before, this is basic functionality that has been requested by many for a long time (search Google if you don't believe me), and I hope and pray that the wonderful iTunes/iPhone gods will bestow upon us the ability to select Google Contact groups in the near future. Are there any plans to add this functionality? If so, when might we expect an update?

Hello Blindbug.
I do apologize. But this is a user to user community. And no one here knows when or if certain features or products will be released unless there has already been a public announcement by that company released for everyone to view and read.
If I can be so kind as to refer you to iPhone feedback below. And you may wish to also spend some time going to google's site and submitting feedback as well.

Assigning Mobile Group to a User

I plan to use the <i>Mobile Group</i> filter for a SyncBO, to avoid too large data volumes on clients - BUT I find it very hard to administer through MEREP_PD and impossible to assign a user to a mobile group in advance of application deployment.
We are dealing with approx. 30 users and they should be allocated to 6 different Mobile Groups. Is there a way to allocate Users to Mobile Groups in advance of application deployment ?
Thanks.
Lars

after creating user in OID (which creates a user for portal also) You shold run the procedure in the portal schema:
PROCEDURE setdefgroup (
p_username varchar2,
p_groupname varchar2) IS
v_group_id number;
BEGIN
v_group_id := WWSEC_API.GROUP_ID
(p_name => upper(p_groupname));
wwsec_api.set_defaultgroup
(p_groupid => v_group_id,
p_username => upper(p_username));
END;
to asign the default group to a user.

Unable to see Active Directory Groups in the User Profile Database after Profile Import

***Major Update - I have finally been able to get the direct attention of the folks responsible for the User Profile Service on the SharePoint Product Team. Long story short, they have reproduced the error and identified as an actual mistake
that needs to be fixed, so it is now officially in the bug pipeline and will be fixed. The current estimate is some time in the summer. They will keep me updated with timeframes, which I am allowed to share as time goes on.
SharePoint Server 2010 Enterprise RTM. W2K8R2 w/multi-server setup:
AD/DNS
SQL 2008
WFE
APP
Claims Mode Web App only using Windows Integrated Auth
So, this was never a problem in 2007, and I didn't even realize it was a problem in 2010 until I started to build a solution that utilized my blog article:
InfoPath - User Roles in Browser-Enabled Forms Using AD Groups. I went to utilize the same web method of the same web service, but I noticed that no data was showing up at all. Typically,
the GetUserMembership/GetCommonMembership methods return the specified user's memberships: AD Security Groups, AD Distribution Lists, and SharePoint Sites (not SharePoint Groups, though).
My user profile sync is working. All AD users are pulled in with the proper profile data.
"Users and Groups" is selected in the Synchronization Entities section of my Sync Settings.
Security groups are working for permissions and audience targeting. Confirmed my users are affected properly by the use of Security Groups.
My query to the GetUserMemberships web method (and GetCommonMemberships) is running (not failing), but it's not returning anything even though my user is in some Security Groups and has explicit membership to multiple sites.
The GetUserProfileByName method of the same UserProfileService.asmx web service
returns all the regular profile data like expected, so the web service works and my profile database is populated
Basically, I'm not seeing my AD groups or any membership data populated in the profile database. I did use MIISCLIENT.exe to see what I could find, and here is what I saw:
Using the Metaverse Search, I searched for the "person" type and saw all of the users in my profile sync connection (single OU)
Using the same tool, I searched for the "group" type and saw nothing, but the message said 4 items were retrieved
I realized that the only column showing was displayName, and they were blank, so I added other columns to be sure
objectGUID, objectType, distinguishedName all showed values, and I could now see all the Security Groups from the OU where I'm doing my profile sync
My "person" objects all have displayNames showing but none of the groups do. In SharePoint, the GetUserMemberships method relies on displayName and accountName, but neither are coming through the profile import
So, it does seem like the groups are coming in with the profile import, but I can't see them. I also can't verify that the groups are being associated with my users in the profile database, because doing a query to the membership methods returns nothing...not
even blank rows.
***Edit: New information! Regular AD Distribution Lists _do_ work properly. I just never bothered testing them until folks on my blog notified me. DLs come through the profile sync, are visible in the profile database, and show up
when using the GetUserMemberships method.
***Edit: Ok, now we're getting somewhere. I checked my last profile sync with the MIISCLIENT, and this is what I found:
Here are the properties of my Distribution List:
Here are the properties of my Security Group:
Notice that the groupType value of the DL is a normal integer (2), but the groupType value of the SG is some crazy negative number. Both types are still lacking DisplayNames for some reason, but when I retrieve the DL via GetUserMemberships, it DOES
show the proper DisplayName despite nothing showing in the MIISCLIENT.

Hello Clayton,
I have same problem with SP 2010 and now I am testing SP 2013 and seems that the problem still.aa
Probably I have some configuration problem, but all seems work, except this.
SharePoint 2013 has no improvements on this. Until seeing this thread, I thought it was an issue within my farm configuration or AD Service account for User Profile Sync. And I've dug far and wide for any other possible settings which would prevent users
from populating in the site people-picker. This might be flagged as off-topic, but I'll beg differ. How can I expect SharePoint to retrieve AD Users and Groups for accuracy in the sites which rely on this server??? Frustrating. I've spent hours and days on
this! I have 3 SP2013 farms with multiple clients (different OU's/containers and security groups). Testing in a separate QA DEV farm with the same config. NO luck yet!
This is where I'm at with it (posted this as a question recently on SharePoint Stack Exchange):
"Help.... Please.... Users from AD groups are not populating in the site people picker. I've set up a SharePoint 2013 site collection permissions group with only AD groups in it, no users added directly. Whether or not I give this SharePoint group permissions
to the site content, I still get none of the AD users showing up in the people picker. I have done the iisreset after adding the groups.
I've checked all of the people picker properties in stsadm to be sure there are no constraints in effect on the web app or site collections. User profiles are synching and I've tried both AD import and User Profile Sync. The AD groups are security
groups, though not email-enabled. The AD service account has all the special permissions. My web app is claims based. My app pool runs with Network Service account. No policies in place to restrict users, checked CA and the site collection settings.
What am I missing? I've read in multiple places that this is a supported/working config. So why can't I get these users to populate in people picker for things like Assigned To in a tasks list, or attendees of an event? "
There is some pretty good insight here, but no real hope:
User profile
synchronization: importing users and security groups in SharePoint 2010
Other Properties that I checked, before realizing this was an issue with the Profile Import...
stsadm -o getproperty -pn siteuseraccountdirectorypath -url https://URL
stsadm -o getproperty -propertyname peoplepicker-activedirectorysearchtimeout -url https://URL

stsadm -o getproperty -propertyname peoplepicker-searchadforests -url https://URL
stsadm -o getproperty -propertyname peoplepicker-serviceaccountdirectorypaths -url https://URL
Hope we find a better answer, as it IS very misleading. User Profile Import specifies Users, or Users and Groups. Nothing is said about Containers or Distribution Groups, worse yet there lacks any clear disclosure about how "Groups" will not
actually import if they are a Global Security Group and the users contained within them exclusively will NOT be included in your profiles,
nor in any compiled Audiences. Which was another BIG bummer!
I'm hoping to see future improvements on the Group imports.

How Can I find out in which groups a contact is?

I have few groups in my contacts. However, I want to know in which group each of my contacts are and or if they have been allocated to any of the groups.
Thanks,

If you are still in the development stage you can either put your libraries in 'user.lib' or go to Tools>Options>Paths>VI Search Path> and add your directory of libraries with a \* at the end (NB. You need to unselect 'Use default' first).
I think this should work - let me know if not please.

Mac OS X v10.7 Lion How to Tell Which Groups an Address Book Entry Is In?

Under Snow Leopard's address book, I could press the Option key and it would highlight which groups the selected address book entry was in. How do I do that with Lion's address book?

Hey Mr. Picasso,
You need to be in "Groups" View in Address Book. Hit Command-3 to get there.
Then click (highlight) an address book entry on the right hand page.
Next, hit the Option key. The groups that the entry belongs to will highlight in blue on the left hand page.
BTW, to me the "highlight in blue text" is badly chosen by Apple, 'cause it is hardly discernable from the other "black on white" texts. No way to change it, AFAIK. The old "yellow highlight" worked much better, IMHO.
