General :: Admin Has No Permissions At All
Jul 16, 2013
Now there is only one set of permissions Admin, and Admin has no permissions at all. When I try to check admin rights or even read rights back to the Admin it says I need to be logged in as admin, which I am.
Is there anyway at all I can either copy some information from 2 tables and put it in my back up?? I'm really stuck here and need to fix this or I'll have lost considerable amounts of work.

I have a receptionist which uses a database that contains everything in the company ..there is an employee table that contains their salaries and I want to set password for this table so that the admin is the only person who can view this table .......... is that possible?? And the same thing for a form that controls this table!

We have a split ACC2010 database, with the back end on our server and 5 front ends on 5 client PCs. I hadn't run a compact/repair on the back end for months. When today I tried, I got the 'database is locked' error. The lock file showed 'Admin' logged on at all 5 clients. The front-ends had been closed on all 5 clients. We do not have a user called 'Admin'. Because my issue occurs for all clients, it might be caused by some sort of programming error in the front end.A VBA bug (implicit comparison to a control in an If .. Then construct) caused this type of behaviour but was resolved in Access 2007.

I have created 10 User Group Accounts, and have set Permissions for the first 7 successfully. However, no Permission settings are being saved for any subsequent Groups. (Access 2010 managing a 2003 mdb file, Front and Back client)
After having experimented a little, I found that while Access allows you to create a Group name with 20 characters, any Group with 20 characters in the name does not save Permissions.19 Characters seems to be the maximum characters a Group can actually be named with.

I'm running Access 2010 but using an .mdb to maintain user level security.I've rolled out a new version of the DB for 2014 (don't ask, but it is necessary) linked to the same security file as the 2013 version, which works fine. With the exception of some new fields and a bit of re-wiring the two are very similar. User permissions have stayed the same, all users are connected to the same security file and have access to almost all the functions they should.
The odd thing is that there are only 3 report buttons (so far) that flag the permissions error for all 'Update Data Users'. Everything else seems to be working fine. I should add that the buttons trigger macros but I don't think that's a problem since they work fine on the 2013 version.
I've tried re-linking the security file but that makes no difference - the path was correct. I don't understand why this is specific tho these buttons since other Macro'd button are working fine.

The problem is I need it to be only editable by 1 user, but allowing multiple other users to access it and view the records- just not able to add/edit/delete them.
The other question I had about the Split database would be- Does having a split database mean the data needs to be updated in 2 tables or am I taking Splitting databases too literally?

I have some Databases that were created back in Access 97 and have managed to upgrade these databases to work in Access 2013, fixing any modules and forms which broke when upgrading the databases.User access and permissions within the database were controlled by User Level Security (the Workgroup.mdw file) which is not secure anyway I guess, as someone could easily copy the entire database.
The database as it stands now works perfectly in Access 2013, however anyone can do anything with the database which is my main issue. Im wanting to limit access for certain forms / tables / reports to certain users, then out right deny other users from accessing the database.
Ive seen the SQL Server 2014 Migration Assistant for Access, which looks to store the tables on SQL server then map these to the Access database, so i guess i could deny certain users from accessing tables that way, or only allow them to read the tables. However I'm not sure how that would lock them out of certain forms / reports and queries in the databases?

I have been asked to look into fixing a permissions problem with a database. The company has been in the process of updating the OS on our computers.
The database in question is stored on a shared network drive. It opens fine on a windows XP machine running Access 2003 but when the same user tries to open the database from windows 7 using access 2010, the message: "You do not have the necessary permissions to use the '<file path>' object. Have your system administrator or the person who created this object establish the appropriate permissions for you."

I was wondering if it is possible to create custom security permissions in access. For example I have created an employee database, with security. I would like to have it when a manager logs on, it will only display his employee's information and no other departments. Is this possible?? In one of the tables is a field for the department the employee works on, can it based off of a table field?

Can anyone tell me what the ideal NTFS persmissions should be for users who are only inputting data to an Access database?
Would Read, Write, & Execute on the networked folder where the BE resides be enough for the users to update the database?
Thanks!

I have been using a A2003 file through A2007 to be able to use user security.We are now in A2010 and the users and permissions component is not showing in the Administrator area as it did in A2007, although the security is still functioning. How do I get access to Users and Permissions in A2010?

I'm a SQL Server DBA and have a few Access 2010 Db's to look after and occasionally have to make amendments to (as is the case today). I've been asked to apply permissions to certain users of the Access database whereby users in a group we're calling 'Viewer' only have read permission and users in another group called 'Writer' (original I know!) have both read and write permission.
The database is form driven (i.e. no-one directly accesses and amends the tables in the database), the file is saved with a .mdb extension.
I've played around with the 'Manage Users & Permissions' in the File Menu however these don't seem to do what I need them to and only result in having to input a user and password to access the database on start-up.

I have a user login code am using for users to login and only access their records in a subform according to their user ID and access level (user or admin). On the main form I have a user name field, the password field and two other fields: one to hold userID and the other to hold access level.
I also want if the person logged in has "Admin" access level the subform should return records from all users. For now what is happening is that even when I assign myself with "Admin" access level, the subform is not returning all records from other users, but my own records only. The original demo where I found the code worked well but I cannot find it and I am totally lost on this.
Here is the code I have so far:
Code:
Private Sub cmdLogin_Click()
Me.Hold_User_ID = Nz(DLookup("User_ID", "T_Users", "Username='" & Me.UserName & "' and pword='" & Me.PWD & "'"), -1)
' check to see if we have a good login
If Me.Hold_User_ID = -1 Then
MsgBox "Invalid username or password."
[code]...

I'm working on an MSAcess 2003 database and I have saved the System.mdw file to a folder on the Server and linked all users to it. When multiple users attempt to log in, they get the message
Could not use 'Admin'; filer already in use.
I have used shared system.mdw files for years with no problems. But obviously the force is not with me today.
Any help with this issue would be appreciated.

Within our client estate, there are a number of types of machines and a number of admin passwords that go with them
I need to put an agent on each of these machines but first i need to make all the admin passwords the same or add our domain group to the local administrators on that machine.
In order to do that I need to know what the admin password is for that specific machine
So a series of attempts with various different passwords and users names are required.
so something like this maybe
dim admin1 as string
dim pass1 as string
dim admin2 as string
dim pass2 as string
dim admin3 as string
dim pass3 as string
dim admin4 as string
dim pass4 as string
call Shell("psexec \192.168.0.1 -u + admin1 + -p + pass1")
if error = 1 then
call Shell("psexec \192.168.0.1 -u + admin2 + -p + pass2")
else
end if
end
Is this the best way to approach this? - Am confused? - Thank you

About three weeks ago, my work computer crash hardcore. Windows (2000 ver) had many corrupt files in the Windows Directory and in the Registry. Because of that, IT gave me an up to date computer running Widows XP. I am still running the same version of Office (2003 Pro).
I think because I have a new machine and a different platform, I am now have issues with trying to administer the permission rights. MS Access is not recognizing me as Admin and/or Creator of the db, therefore I am not able to modify permission rights....... :eek:
Does anyone know how make this db recognize that I am the Creator of it?
Thank you in advance for your help.:cool:

I do Exchange administration, but I use Access Databases all the time to manipulate data. That is the only way I can take care of over 25,000 mailboxes with just two people.
Here is my scenario. I have two spreadsheets. First spreadsheet has UserIDs and Names. Second spreadsheet has group mailboxes and UserIDs associated with those mailboxes. I need to send an email out using Access to each of these 500 mailbox owners. In that email it must contain the name of the group mailbox and each user's name (not ID).
Examples:
Spreadsheet 1:
User01 Name1
User02 Name2
User03 Name3
User04 Name4
Spreadsheet 2:
Mailbox1 User01, User03, User04
Mailbox2 User02, User03
Mailbox3 User01, User02, User03, User04
Outgoing emails:
Mailbox1 Name1, Name3, Name4
Mailbox2 Name2, Name3
Mailbox3 Name1, Name2, Name3, Name4
I am pretty good at Excel and Access when it comes to basic data manipulation. I know how to make Access send an email out to hundreds of customers at once. Now I just need to be able to create that form letter and plug in the names where there are UserIDs.
Anyone have a suggestion (of course you do, so just put it down!).
Thanks a whole lot in advance for your assistance in this matter. And, if you have an email problem, let me know! I can prolly fix that for ya!

Hey
On my database I did it so it checks who logs in to the machine (through API), but now I'd like to see if someone logs in to database as Admin or regular user. How is it possible ?

I don't know who to write and thought that I would try this list. Has anyone written, or do they know of, a Contract Administration package for Architects, written in Access 2000 or later? I am an Aus architect who dabbles in Access and doesn't want to re-invent the wheel.
Any help would be appreciated.

I've been fiddling around with the Tools>>Security settings but I can't seem to find a way where only I can make changes to the database and the users can't just use the switchboard. If you are regular user you don't need password but if you are admin you do.
How do I do that?

Does anyone have an updated link to a free utility download that will auto create a backup of my database as well as do a compact and repair at a scheduled time each week. Maybe twice a week if possible! :p

When attempting to open an Access DB that has been transferred from one network to another (via CD and aeroplane!) we are finding that the copy cannot be edited - the access is effectively read only... I believe this has something to do with Workgroup admin rights but this area is all a bit confusing for me. What do I need to do to open the copy up for editing - allowing the recipients to administrate their copy of the DB?
We're using Access 2002.
