I choose edit and get a file path editor window. I do not have a place to enter a password, but I do have places to add several file paths. I put the password into one of the file paths. That does not work.
From the Excel Data tab I'll choose create a blank query. This forces the query editor window to open. I don't see anything in the query editor tabs to help me. I've hacked and hacked at it but can't find anything nor do my trial and error attempts work either.
There is another (bad) workaround, which worked for me at least - you can it seems import the data into another Excel sheet via Power Query as long as the source data file is open; from there you can import into Power BI. The (admitedly massive) downside is that the intermediate Excel file won't refresh with the source file closed!
It would be great to have the opportunity to lock models with a password, so that without password it is not possible to make any changes on the model or/an it is impossible to measure the models dimensions. I am an engineere designing my projects in SketchUp; I would like to give my clients the models but want to prevent that they can measure everything out and start to analyse and copy my designs. Maybe it would be valaubale if Trimble is making an password lock in SketchUp 2016.
Read-Only Mode and/or Encrypted-Read-Only Modes would be fantastic, for sure. Clients and collaborators are becoming increasingly adamant that they have our SU models, which is causing issues when they start making changes.
If you make clear the purposes for which the data is being furnished and the limitations on use imposed by the NDA, you should be able to reach a meeting of minds with other parties that is solidly enforceable in a court of law and permits the free flow of data within these limits.
While this is true, it is also the cause of a huge number of conflicts between clients and providers. Once burned, one learns to be as specific as possible about such details and to get everything in writing!
The best the give the Sketchup file to a client, if he really needed. Then it is better to explode the whole file & change the scale. The 3d will took same and the client can view the design. But he will not be able to measure & make changes.
I tested this with a friend. It had him create a Trimble account - which is fine. But even if I set him as a User, rather than and Admin, he still had the ability to download the model. Also, the client wants to see the model with a sketch effect. Once uploaded to Trimble, it lost the effect and added some lame render effect instead.
You can limit access to a PDF by setting passwords and by restricting certain features, such as printing and editing. However, you can't prevent saving copies of a PDF. The copies have the same restrictions as the original PDF. Two types of passwords are available:
If the PDF is secured with both types of passwords, it can be opened with either password. However, only the permissions password allows the user to change the restricted features. Because of the added security, setting both types of passwords is often beneficial.
Type and retype your password. Your password must be at least six characters long. The password strength is displayed next to your password to indicate whether the chosen password is weak, medium, strong, or best.
Select Require a password to open the document, then type the password in the corresponding field. Your password must be at least six characters long. For each keystroke, the password strength meter evaluates your password and indicates the password strength.
You can prevent users from changing PDFs. The restrict editing option prohibits users from editing text, moving objects, or adding form fields. Users can still fill in form fields, sign, or add comments.
Choose Editing, and then type and retype your password. Your password must be at least six characters long. The password strength is displayed next to your password to indicate whether the chosen password is weak, medium, or strong.
Type the password in the corresponding field. Your password must be at least six characters long. For each keystroke, the password strength meter evaluates your password and indicates the password strength.
The authentication that comes with Django is good enough for most common cases,but you may have needs not met by the out-of-the-box defaults. Customizingauthentication in your projects requires understanding what points of theprovided system are extensible or replaceable. This document provides detailsabout how the auth system can be customized.
The list of authentication backends to use is specified in theAUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS setting. This should be a list of Pythonpath names that point to Python classes that know how to authenticate. Theseclasses can be anywhere on your Python path.
An authentication backend is a class that implements two required methods:get_user(user_id) and authenticate(request, **credentials), as well asa set of optional permission related authorization methods.
The Django admin is tightly coupled to the Django User object. The best way to deal with this is to create a Django Userobject for each user that exists for your backend (e.g., in your LDAPdirectory, your external SQL database, etc.) You can either write a script todo this in advance, or your authenticate method can do it the first time auser logs in.
This gives full permissions to the user granted access in the above example.Notice that in addition to the same arguments given to the associateddjango.contrib.auth.models.User functions, the backend auth functionsall take the user object, which may be an anonymous user, as an argument.
An anonymous user is one that is not authenticated i.e. they have provided novalid authentication details. However, that does not necessarily mean they arenot authorized to do anything. At the most basic level, most websitesauthorize anonymous users to browse most of the site, and many allow anonymousposting of comments etc.
The only thing this does is create those extra permissions when you runmanage.py migrate (the function that creates permissionsis connected to the post_migrate signal).Your code is in charge of checking the value of these permissions when a useris trying to access the functionality provided by the application (changing thestatus of tasks or closing tasks.) Continuing the above example, the followingchecks if a user may close tasks:
If you wish to store information related to User, you can use aOneToOneField to a model containing the fields foradditional information. This one-to-one model is often called a profile model,as it might store non-auth related information about a site user. For exampleyou might create an Employee model:
Keeping all user related information in one model removes the need foradditional or more complex database queries to retrieve related models. On theother hand, it may be more suitable to store app-specific user information in amodel that has a relation with your custom user model. That allows each app tospecify its own user data requirements without potentially conflicting orbreaking assumptions by other apps. It also means that you would keep your usermodel as simple as possible, focused on authentication, and following theminimum requirements Django expects custom user models to meet.
If you use the default authentication backend, then your model must have asingle unique field that can be used for identification purposes. This canbe a username, an email address, or any other unique attribute. A non-uniqueusername field is allowed if you use a custom authentication backend thatcan support it.
The easiest way to construct a compliant custom user model is to inherit fromAbstractBaseUser.AbstractBaseUser provides the coreimplementation of a user model, including hashed passwords and tokenizedpassword resets. You must then provide some key implementation details:
A string describing the name of the field on the user model that isused as the unique identifier. This will usually be a username of somekind, but it can also be an email address, or any other uniqueidentifier. The field must be unique (e.g. have unique=True setin its definition), unless you use a custom authentication backend thatcan support non-unique usernames.
A list of the field names that will be prompted for when creating auser via the createsuperuser management command. The userwill be prompted to supply a value for each of these fields. It mustinclude any field for which blank isFalse or undefined and may include additional fields you wantprompted for when a user is created interactively.REQUIRED_FIELDS has no effect in other parts of Django, likecreating a user in the admin.
The prototype of create_user() should accept the username field,plus all required fields as arguments. For example, if your user modeluses email as the username field, and has date_of_birth as arequired field, then create_user should be defined as:
The prototype of create_superuser() should accept the usernamefield, plus all required fields as arguments. For example, if your usermodel uses email as the username field, and has date_of_birthas a required field, then create_superuser should be defined as:
If you want your custom user model to also work with the admin, your user modelmust define some additional attributes and methods. These methods allow theadmin to control access of the user to admin content:
If you are using a custom ModelAdmin which is a subclass ofdjango.contrib.auth.admin.UserAdmin, then you need to add your customfields to fieldsets (for fields to be used in editing users) and toadd_fieldsets (for fields to be used when creating a user). Forexample:
One limitation of custom user models is that installing a custom user modelwill break any proxy model extending User.Proxy models must be based on a concrete base class; by defining a custom usermodel, you remove the ability of Django to reliably identify the base class.
Here is an example of an admin-compliant custom user app. This user model usesan email address as the username, and has a required date of birth; itprovides no permission checking beyond an admin flag on the user account.This model would be compatible with all the built-in auth forms and views,except for the user creation forms. This example illustrates how most of thecomponents work together, but is not intended to be copied directly intoprojects for production use.
