Hide USB HD to non-administrative users.

I use our Readynas as a local cloud. I am attaching a USB HD to it and it works like a backup. This works perfectly and are not accessible without the admin login. It's all perfect. However, I would prefer that this drive will be visible only if you log on as an administrator. I don't even want people to know it's there. Any ideas?

Hi jtwontex,

You can not hide the USB part, but you can set a permission to be restricted (local or remote via ReadyCLOUD). Here are some useful articles, that you can watch.

  • How can a non administrator user to do certain privileged tasks

    BS "D."

    Hello
    I have a question to administration of Windows 7. (I have some experience UNIX admin, but am a novice to Windows).
    I want to allow a non administrator user to do 2 of the following tasks:
    1. Installation/update software. Example: upgrade Adobe Acrobat Reader.
    2. Start/stop services. Example: MySQL is configured to be a service that is started manually. The user must be able to start and stop it at will.
    I am running Windows 7 Home Premium. I consider the upgrade to Pro if that would help.
    Thanks in advance!
    -Avigdor

    In Windows 7, you cannot grant special privileges to ordinary accounts. This applies to all flavors of Windows 7.

    1. Installation/update software. Example: upgrade Adobe Acrobat Reader.
      AFAIR ordinary users are allowed to give the go-ahead for the Acrobat upgrades.
    2. Start/stop services. Example: MySQL is configured to be a service that is started manually. The user must be able to start and stop it at will.
      You will need to do so indirectly via a scheduled task. The task runs under the system account. It start or stop a service using a semaphore file that is created by the user verification.

    Hi Chandra,

    When you create your database, you this place in the application package or you use the applicationStorageDirectory?  I think that should work in the repository, it would be problematic if you're using a location such as your application directory (or any place under Program Files) because this would require elevated privileges.

  • Administrative user page shows programs like "unknown application" in Vista

    My administrative user page does not correctly load upward.  Only 10 processes are running, and in the file associations of programs together many extensions are listed as "unknown application".  Open none of the shortcuts on the desktop, I have only the "open with:" dialog box.  All other pages the user on the computer to work properly. They have all more than 60 processes running and no other problems.  It is only with a user page, and that is be the administrative page.  I tried startup repair, but nothing has changed.  Diagnosis showed no problems.  Restoration has not changed anything.  Any suggestions, anyone?

    Hi Marty Clune,.

    1. are you able to connect to other accounts without any problems?

    2. remember you to any recent software or changes to the material on the computer before this problem?

    Given that you tried to repair startup and restore the system and always faced with problems, you can try creating a new account manager and check if the problem occurs or not.

    Note: Do not give the username for the user account.

    Check out the link:

    If the problem does not occur, then check out the following link and follow the steps to repair the corrupted user profile:

  • What locations on the drive C can write non-Admin users?

    I am writing an applicaton that I would save temporary data on the C drive.  The request may or may not be run as an administrator, and I would like to know if there is a particular place that non-admin users can write in Windows 7 or Windows XP.  Any help on this?  A link would be most appreciated.

    Thank you

    I was hoping that kind of something like user data or Application data.  The application folder was created at installation.  What is the standard for the development of the app?

  • How can I prevent the software Adobe Reader crashing on my non privileged user?

    I am running Windows 7 and I need to create a user non-preferred on my computer. When I open a PDF file, it crashes almost instantly (I can view the document three seconds approximately). If I just open Adobe Reader without a PDF and click on Edit-> Preferences, it crashes. If I open a PDF file in any browser, it crashes.

    What I was able to guess, it seems that Adobe Reader tries to read the registry of my privileged user. I have tried to uninstall Adobe Reader, temporarily to grant privileges to my non-privileged user, install Adobe Reader on this user, and then remove the permissions, but the accident is still happening. The only way to stop Adobe Reader to plant is to start the program as an administrator, or change the type of administrator account. How can I prevent the software Adobe Reader crashing on my non privileged user?

    I had corruption of the registry "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders", where many of the keys have values set for the directories of the user of my administration. I did not write exactly which keys have been corrupted and causing the accident, but once I have finished all the fixing Adobe Reader worked perfectly and I was able to open the preferences.

  • "Error 213:11" as non-administrator disappear once paid for?

    After that Roxio has disappointed me for the last time, I tried some trial versions of first 11 elements and Premiere Pro 6.0.3. The two gave me similar problems when launching as administrator on Windows 7 Pro. After initially running either application with "Run as Administrator," likely to get any installation after the initial installation done (yes I meant that), the application would run exactly once as a non-administrator, present me with a pop-up with the 213:11 error code, then exit. Subsequent launches would introduce me with pop - up without actually launching.

    If this is related to some Adobe copy protection system used, this problem disappears once the products are paid?

    Mine is the subscription of my wife to the creative cloud since we share a PC. So, it is paid for. But I can't imagine that's the problem. It looks more like a firewall problem prevents the program from the permission that he must run.

  • iCloud, sharing photos for Non - iOS users

    So, I use iCloud for about two years now, and it does for the most part, what I want and need to. However, whenever my family and I go camping during the weekend, take a vacation or just to Barbecue a Sunday afternoon, we have a ton of photos on a large number of devices. For the wife and children, this isn't a problem since we have all of the iPhones and use iCloud. But, it seems that we are facing a problem whenever someone on an Android phone has a few pictures they want help or like to download some pictures that we have added.

    Y at - it an easy way for non - iOS users view and/or edit albums shared iCloud without going through a several-step process (transfer of office, download third party app, etc..)? It is my understanding that an Android user should be able to display/change via a web browser, but don't seems to work. I looked at other cloud services and apps, and major issues, in that I continue to run are:

    1: having to pay another Cloud Computing service, when I already pay for iCloud is not economic.

    2: I find a lot of the photo-sharing applications and services give a lot of storage, but at a cost to the quality of the photos. My wife and her friends are always doing something creative with your impressions so even some 'high quality' compression can degrade enough make it unusable.

    3: I have a hard time to ask someone to download an application, not to mention of asking them to pay for one. Nor am I comfortable someone jump through hoops, just so that I can watch through a batch of photos in the hope of finding one or two which are useful.

    So, is there an easy way to do it, or I'm stuck or wait for Apple to understand a feature like this would be useful or leave iCloud for a solution amicably more cross-platform? I do not understand that Apple needs to focus on the development and support of applications and services for its ecosystem and customer, but would it not make sense to make it convenient for outside users to have a great experience too?

    I don't know what problems you encountered but the sharing Web site works fine for me.

  • Is it possible to create a Local administrator user when you use the Profile Manager to get the configuration settings

    Hello

    We are studying the use of the Profile Manager of OS X as a way to manage our Enterprise macs.

    One of the demands made by the team, is to create an administrator user, as part of the OS X Profile which is lowered to the customer. The rationale is that this would be a way for the it team get, if the fubar user had their Mac

    I did not see this anywhere in the configuration options of the Profile Manager and so ask the people who use it as part of their everyday Toolbox, to find out if such an option is available.

    Thank you and best regards,

    Madan failed

    No, not with the Profile Manager.

    How you deploying your company Mac?  As institutionally imagery or as BYOD devices?  If image, then the image should contain a coherent local administrator account.  If the active image also the Apple Remote Desktop or SSH, you have a method of mass, control and manage the devices.  If BYOD style, then you are out of luck that the end user is the only one with the key of the device.

    You can take a look at following JAMF Casper.  Once devices are registered, you have the possibility to create accounts (However the common method is to create an account on registration).  If you deploy a BYOD approach, you should also look into DEP program Apple (https://deploy.apple.com) as more DEP JAMF (or other MDM) is a very powerful tool for light to zero touch deployment of systems.
