A Few Questions: Determining Calendar Ownership, and Shared Comps with Chrome

[Joel Lowsky]

Hi All,

Two questions that I could use some help with:

1. Any ideas on how to view the owner of a non-primary calendar?  (Primary calendars being the default calendar created for a new user ... typically the primary calendar is named "Firstname Lastname").  The scenario is this ... you have a shared calendar that someone shared with you years go ... want to know who created it and/or owns it now.  In the "Calendar Details" of primary calendars, there is a "Calendar Owner:" field, but for secondary calendars, the field doesn't show up.

The sharing rights don't give this info away either ... they will show users' access rights, but not ownership.

(Both of these screenshots are from a Super Admin account).

Question 2: How do you manage ensuring that users log out of Google Apps and, perhaps more importantly, logging out of Chrome, on shared computers, (library or labs)?  Do you have a technical way to enforce logouts (time or boot-based) or is it a cultural method?  We're seeing lots of people signing into both Chrome and Google Apps and not signing out of either or both.  This is on Win and Mac, but also Chrome OS.

Thanks,

Joel

PS: Got one of the new Chromeboxes, 179$ on Amazon.  Comes with a mount for installation on the back of monitors.  Lots of potential here for a lightweight classroom or shared comp.

Joel,

I can answer the first question but not the second :-)

With the shared calendars, look at the Share This Calendar screen.  The owner's settings cannot be changed (see below) and they have the highest level of access.  I've checked this both as a super-admin, and general user to verify it.  

Have a great day!

Thank you, Melinda, that's helpful ... but if there is a Super Admin who is also on the list of users, then the Super also shows up with non-changeable rights.  Ditto certain other types of admins.  So there could be more than one user in the list that has non-changeable rights.

I appreciate the help.

Joel,

Would a script like this work?  

@echo off
set ChromeDir=C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data
del /q /s /f "%ChromeDir%"
rd /s /q "%ChromeDir%"
cls
IF %ERRORLEVEL%==0 (
@echo "Success Message"
exit0
) ELSE (
@echo "Error Message"
exit 1001
)

Then set it to run every so often in the background?

That's interesting, Joel, as I don't have that happening in our domain.  I just double-checked to be sure, but on ours it has a message under the emails of the admin, but it still makes it appear as their settings are changeable:

Joel,

After some testing this script would clean out the profile, but first it must close down chrome.

 

:: kill chrome

taskkill /im chrome.exe

:: remove user settings for a XP chrome user

IF EXIST "C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default" (

    rmdir "C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default" /s /q

)

:: remove user settings for a 7 chrome user

IF EXIST "C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default" (

    rmdir "C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default" /s /q

)

We're a Windows and ChromeOS district, and we've solved the logout issue on Windows by using Chrome group policy settings. You can set Chrome to delete cookies and prevent logging into Chrome for shared computers. This basically enforces an incognito-like mode, where everything is cleared once the window is closed. Then it's just a matter of reminding the students to close all windows prior to leaving the computer.

Why not just use incognito for shared computers.  It can be set by group policies as well.

Incognito mode deletes the browser history (and I believe cache) when a window is closed. By just deleting the cookies, it keeps the history for accountability and forensics.

Thanks all.
