[U2] Refresh UV user permissions without restarting UV Service ?
Hi everyone. Is it possible to force Universe to refresh it's internal permissions list without restarting the UV service? I have a user that I added to the Windows Administrators group after the user was created on Windows and in Universe. It does not appear that UV picks up that this user is now allowed administrative privileges - and I really don't want to restart the UV service at this point in time on the server to get this going. For info: UV 10.2.1 on Windows Server 2003. Any suggestions would be most welcome.

Arnold: I'm not sure about UV but in UD, when I change windows permissions, they immediately work through UD. This is because UD uses Windows permissions and doesn't have their own security (well, limited anyway). I didn't realize UV was different.

Re: [U2] Refresh UV user permissions without restarting UV Service ?
It's one thing if you change the permissions for a resource that the user is trying to access, but when you change the rights that a user is assigned, any session that is already active for that user already has all its access tokens and won't reflect your change. You will have to log that session off and back on. For instance, if I am logged on, and someone adds another group to the list that my user belongs to, my already active session does not *know* that I now belong to that group. It checks that once, when I log on. I'm pretty sure there's no way to bypass that. -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Bill Haskett Sent: Friday, January 28, 2011 11:21 AM To: U2 Users List Subject: Re: [U2] Refresh UV user permissions without restarting UV Service ?

This is because UD uses Windows permissions and doesn't have their own security (well, limited anyway). Are you confusing user and file permissions? This should be a Windows thing, nothing to do with the app. I didn't realize UV was different. On nix, user rights are allocated at login. Change groups, etc and you have to log in again to get the new rights. I'd be very surprised if UV caches user groups etc and UD doesn't. But regardless of OS or DB, changing FILE permissions should take effect immediately (barring the app having the file already open and caching the file descriptor).
