I want to prevent the user from changing other users' passwords, so he can only change his own password
You need to do it in following way:
Create a security group. With this group of users, allow them to change passwords.
There are two ways to change passwords. One from the "Change Password" button in user form view and from the Action > Change Password. Both options are available from the Users form/tree view.
Inherit user form view and wizard action, provide groups which we have created in the first step.
Upgrade your module. Login with and without a special security group and you will notice that Change Password is only visible for special users who have security groups turned on.

I have an app that I would like that when performing the login and the user selects a radio button in the option he wants, this information is already selected when he accesses the account again with the same login, only if it is the same login, if it is another perform the normal process of selecting an option.
I have a Sharepoint list that I'm using as a form. Everyone in the company needs to view/modify the form to submit information, but I would like to keep the response from the form viewable to just a few people. Is there a way to do that, without clicking each item and managing permissions for that item? Can that be done with a workflow?
One approach:
Set up the list so users can only see and edit their own responses. (List settings > Advanced settings > set Read Access and Create and Edit access to "Items that were created by the user".
Create a SharePoint group for people who should see all items, e.g. ListManagers
Set up list permissions so that Visitors (everyone in the company) have Contribute access and the ListManagers group gets full access for the list.
Another option:
Leave the Advanced settings at the default, so that everyone can see all items.
Change the default view of the list to show only items created by the current user.
Create a page that shows an XLV with the default view and serve that to everybody.
Create another page that shows an XLV with all items and give permissions for that page only to the limited group of people.
The second method is more for convenience than for security and will not prevent savvy users from accessing the data they cannot see in the default view.
In OpenERP application Settings tab is missing, how do I get back this tab and I am using OpenERP-7.
You need to checkout access right of the User. Login with Admin User or any other User who can see the all list of Users. And open that User which don't see the Setting tab.
On User form view has Access Rights page. It has Application => Administration selection field. That might be empty.
So select Access Rights or Settings to Application => Administration
Save record and now login out with Admin and login with that updated User. You will see their Setting tab.
I have one custom list with fields like(IDs, Name, Phone no) . when i add a new item to the list a new item form will be opened. While filling the form by entering the first field( IDs), i want other fields to be auto-populated from active directory.
Can it be possible through Browser(UI) or from sharepoint designer.
Please Help me out ...
Yes this is possible I have implemented something very similar.But this is only possible through event receiver in a custom list.Following was my approach,
Add a ItemAdding event receiver, only field entered by the user will be the UseraName field through people picker.
Internally,fetch the details of the user entered from AD.This can be done through code in this way,
http://www.aspdotnet-suresh.com/2011/03/how-to-get-userdetails-from-active.html
Then you can assign the user properties to their respective columns and update the list item.
If its not a custom list,you can always use User Profile Synchronisation by Mapping additional required AD properties so that they will show up in the user information list of that sitecollection.
You can use sharepoint user profile. So instead of going back to AD related stuffs SP profile will get automatically synced with AD. Its very easy to manage also.
If it's a different AD than the one you use for user profiles, then you will need to develop a custom WebPart and write server code to connect to the AD and check for user's info & auto-populate them.
If it's the same AD used for user profiles, then you already have different users properties on the SharePoint side and no need to reach out to the AD... this is assuming that you already have a User Profile Service Application setup and it's synced with AD (as #samh above suggested).
Why can I not (as admin or user) edit a user profile? When I click Edit Item I can only attach a file and I only see the account name. I've gone into the admin area but nothing I change takes affect. I've set some other fields as editable but they don't show. I tried to edit user policies but everything is greyed out.
Are you populating your user profiles from AD? In that case, there is nothing in SP to edit since the data comes from elsewhere.
If not, then where are you trying to edit an item? Are you using Manage User Profiles in the User Profile Service Application area?
