Re: Administrative privileges problem? ARS 6.3
I've created a temp user numerous times using arcache Ex: -Ua -e001 -n TempUserName -p -g 1; -l 1 -s However, I cannot login with the account I've created. Does the syntax look all right to you all? I also can't run arreload 'cause it indicates I have to have admin. permissions. Going round in circles here unfortunately. Any help would be welcome.

Re: Administrative privileges problem? ARS 6.3
Do you have allow guest users turn on? One error you mention states that you cannot authenticate. That error would be triggered before you were ever granted a license or your groups are loaded; ruling out APP-Administrator/Administrator and fixed license issues. However you are able to get to to the User Portal which tells me you authenticated or were allowed as a guest. Just to check the very basics, are you using your username in the same case as it is in the User form? I know that is a very, very basic question (and not meant to insult). However it cause the symptoms you are seeing; appear to be authenticated but only have public permissions. Do you have access to query the DB directly? You can check that your password is NULL, that your License Type is = 1 (fixed) and your have group 1 (Administrator) in your Group List.

Re: Administrative privileges problem? ARS 6.3
I added a TEMPADMIN user using this command, but I'm not sure I put in the groups properly as he doesn't have access to User or the other forms I need? Could you tell me what the group numbers should be for full App-Admin access? I put in 1.

You did not insult me. No worries. I don't actually have direct access to our Oracle database.I've added a TEMPADMIN account using arcache with 1 for group and 1 for license type.

Re: Administrative privileges problem? ARS 6.3
Good, I didn't recognize the name so I wasn't sure if you were a newer admin. :) I wonder if there is an issue with the User cache? I have heard of odd things before when the user_cache table gets out of whack for some reason. Have you restarted the AR system since this issue started? You can also use arreload to rebuild the user_cache. I think the details are in the configuring guide. Are there any errors in the arerror.log or armonitor.log even?

Re: Administrative privileges problem? ARS 6.3
I'm restarting it again. I did that yesterday but better safe than sorry. The arerror.log had some MidTier user already logged in entries with my name. However, there wasn't anything referencing TEMPADMIN or Demo (the other accounts I've tried).I'll try arereload I guess if I cannot find this issue resolved after a reboot. It makes me nervous to reload everyone given the current state, but I don't really have a choice.Brad Date: Fri, 15 Jul 2011 12:10:14 -0700 From: jason.mil...@gmail.com Subject: Re: Administrative privileges problem?
