How to restrict SharePoint 2007 from resolving the disabled AD users? - sharepoint-2007

I have been working on Selective Content Migration using "SharePoint Content Deployment Wizard" from CodePlex for a particular SPList.
The migrated data is displayed in a Custom List in SP2007, in which 2 fields Preparers & Approvers (columns) are of "People & Group" data type. These two columns displays the "Name (with Presence)" of People & Group type and I am able to click the user names to open the user details for all active AD users.
How ever, some of the users are disabled in Active Directory and we are unable to populate them in SharePoint. Due to which, they are not visible in the mentioned columns. Is there a way to restrict SharePoint from resolving the inactive / disabled AD users and continue to display them in the Preparers & Approvers column?
Also what is the option to display their Name (like Sriram Bala) in a seperate column for those who are inactive in AD? Meaning, those who are disabled in AD, their name without hyper link alone should be displayed in another column say Preparer Name or something like that. I tried to use Single Line Text datatype to get the People & Group value, but it didn't work.
Please suggest the possible option to achieve this.
Thanks,
Sriram

In SharePoint Central Admin (for 2007 select the appropriate SSP), you can fine tune the LDAP connection to omit different user values from the AD Sync process.
Look to add something along the lines of:
userAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=0
to your LDAP filter.

Permissions issues with publishing Google Sheets worksheets on Google Sites

I have a Google spreadsheet comprising of several worksheets and I am trying to publish the worksheets individually on separate webpages, preferably using embed. This is to provide access to users within a Google Workspace domain. The first published worksheet works fine and is duly visible to users allowed to view the Google Sites webpage. Subsequent worksheets are also published successfully but the previously published worksheets are no longer accessible. I get the following message:
"*You need permission to access this published document.
You are signed in as #.org.uk, but you don't have permission to access this published document. You may need to sign in as a different user. "
The above email address is an editor of the spreadsheet as well as being able to edit/view the Google Sites. I have tried everything by only using Incognito windows only, logging out of all accounts, checked settings, etc: I am always unable to publish more than one worksheet from the same spreadsheet at a time.
What am I doing wrong???
PS-1:
Following iansedan suggestion I have anonymised and simplified the spreadsheet. There are 2 tabs I want to publish to web: Group T and Group S.
I publish Group T to the web: works as expected in the browser (Chrome).
I publish Group S to the web and view it in another tab in the browser (Chrome)
It duly shows the published version of Group S but when I click on the other tab (to view the Group T which was OK before) I get the following message:
"You need permission to access this published document.
You are signed in as [my workspace email address], but you don't have permission to access this published document. You may need to sign in as a different user."
This is the link to the spreadsheet. I'm afraid I don't know how to share this better, the only way I could find is if you try to access the spreadsheet I will get a notification and will add your email address so you can view/edit it.
PS-2 Additional info
The respective links for the published are as follows:
Group T This one comes up with the "You need permission to access this published document." message
Group S This one shows the published worksheet correctly (as it was the last published!).
It looks like a caching mechanism somewhere is causing the issue but I have no idea where and how to prevent it! I've cleared the cache in the browser...
To publish individual sheets of a spreadsheet, use the Published Content and Settings button instead of the Publish button.
Uncheck the All Document checkbox and select the Group T and Group S sheets. After that click Escape and Start Publishing.
I had the same problem.
What youre doing is pausing one publication to start another one. Then, the first one is canceled.
Basically, there are two fields on the web publishing tab: one above another.
On the upper one, you chosse wich part of your sheet you will publish. That is, here if Jonh need to see "X", you select "X" and take note of the link to send to John.
On the lower one, you confirm all parts of the sheet that are being published at til that time. In other words, there will be more than one part in this fild. That is, if you havd alredy done the process to John (X), Anna (Y) and Floyd (Z), you will visualize X, Y and Z
Got it?

Is there a way to breakdown user access within a Jira project by component

I was asked to separate access to a particular Jira project by component. e.g. user "a" can see issues created for component "a", but not component "b". conversely, user "b" can see issues created for component "b", but not component "a".
I know that I can limit access to a particular project to one or more users, but I was unaware of a way to filter access to one or more users by component within a Jira project.
Is there any way to limit access to one or more people to a subset (less than all components) of a project?
I did a search for a Jira plugin that might offer this functionality, but did not find what I was looking for.

I don't know if that's possible by using a component (I don't think so), but there is an alternative approach which might be sufficient as well:
You can adjust the Browse Projects permission like this:
You can grant permission to a group custom field value. Then you could choose a custom group field (create one if not available) which will be evaluated on each issue. Then, if you create an issue and add a group to this custom field in that issue, only users from that group have access to view the issue. Take care that you remove the any logged in user setting for "Browse Projects", otherwise the group custom field does not have any effect. There is also a KB article here in Jira's documentation.
The first question is what are you trying to do? Why do you want to restrict who can view issues?
Jira has Issue Security Schemes that can do this based on setting the security level according to the component, or other fields. I'd use a custom create post function
But what happens when the component is changed? Now you have to restrict editing too.

Not all AD users appear in TFS

We're using TFS 2013. The problem we're facing is this:
Several Active Directory users are listed in TFS under the Control panel/Security/Users, but not all.
Where can I control which AD users will also be able to access TFS?
The displayed names are only the names that have been assigned to something and synched into the TFS db's by the AD sync service. If you enter in the full AD name of a valid user in any of the security assignments it will end up showing in the user select list after the next sync run (every hour if I remember correctly).
I.e. you can assign users that are not displayed in the list.

TFS 2012 Add custom Dictionary

We're about to implement TFS 2012 and I've been having some fun customizing some work items to aid us in our reporting. One issue we have is our reporting based on clients.
Our Product Backlog Items keep our requirements, however, we need to report our requirements per client (government regulations). Some requirements will affect all clients, some will only reflect certain ones. I've been able to add a global list of clients along with a multi-select option and that part is working great.
The issue is we need to also note the requirement number for each selected client. I know I can go in and add a field for each 'Client Requirement', but as that list gets bigger, that screen will be insanely huge.
Does anybody know of such a way to implement something of the sort?
One option would be to create a custom Work Item Type for Clients. Then link your PBI's to the appropriate client WI's. When you create a link you can enter a link comment also which you could use to capture the client-specific requirement number.
I would create a custom "Client Requirement" work item that has the list of clients to select and includes a field for Client ID. You can then either use the related link type or create your own, maybe "Implements \ Implemented By" so that you can create a Reporting Services report that pulls the ID's

How to dynamically populate Jira custom fields?

I'm new to the Jira admin side of things after having used it in a previous company as an end-user for several years. We are using the standard Jira workflow. The scenario I'm struggling with is the following. I'm attempting to match some of the functionality of our old-proprietary issue database. Right now I'm using many of the standard Jira fields, with only two new custom fields (both single Select Lists populated manually by me):
1) Customer = customer name who sent the new issue email to our support team
2) Customer Contact = the main customer contact, currently populated by the custom list
I created these two custom fields because we have external customers who call or email issues they have using our hosted software. Currently our system creates a simple new issue when a customer sends an email to our support email account. Our support team then goes in and cleans up the data and makes sure that all the required Jira fields have data, the comments are good, reproducible steps, etc. (Currently we do not strip out the customer domain name to auto-populate the Customer custom field, but I might try doing that soon.)
Our support team is asking that I add the following two new customer fields:
3) Customer phone number
4) Customer connection / login info
What I would like to implement is a system that goes something like this:
Customer name gets inputted (either automatically by grabbing domain name of customer email address or manually by our support team) into the Customer custom field. Customer name selected should be "pushed" into the Customer Contact Select List to help sub-select values for that particular customer.
The Customer Contact Select list should be "smart" or dynamic in that some pre-processing is done where the Customer name is grabbed so that it doesn't show ALL customers contacts for the tech support person to select, it just shows them the customer contacts for the customer that was selected.
Along with the filtered customer contacts, I would want to only see the Customer phone number for the contact that was populated in the Customer Contact select list.
And finally I would want to see the Customer connection information for the particular Customer that was selected.I've done this type of smart combo boxes in the past when I created Java / Database applications, so I have a feeling that this is possible in Jira. I'm just looking for the easiest way to implement this. It seems like there might be some external plugins that might help do this (ex. the values for the Custom fields are stored in a database table so they can be queried and the proper filtered result sets can be populated into the select lists.), or maybe using post functions (update issue), etc. But before I spent more effort investigating, I know this sort of thing has to be somewhere common and wanted to ask the Jira admin experts what the best practice would be for this type of functionality in custom fields. Please share your experience with how to solve this type of scenario. Thanks in advance!
