How to Block 'Create Site' in Share?

mimarox

In my company only the administrator should be able to create new sites as project homes assigning the respective project leader as the site's owner in Share. No other user should be able to create a new site.

After searching for quite a while I was still unable to find out how to remove the links and menu entry 'Create Site' for everybody except the administrator. Is this possible at all? How do I have to go about it?

Thanks for helping. 🙂

Hi mimarox,

try to modify the header component (FTL) that you can find at <alf_installation_path>\tomcat\webapps\share\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\site-webscripts\org\alfresco\components\header. You can hide the site management features simply using the parameter isGuest in the FTL if-instruction.

What if you are already in a site, is there anyway to eliminate Customise Site Options from the page and from the MORE list box in the top right?

Ok I figured out how to hide the Customise Site option on the Sites Dashboard by commenting out the following.

File: org/alfresco/components/dashlets/site-welcome.get.html.ftl

div class="detail-list-item last-item">
         <h4 class="theme-color-1">${msg("header.customiseSite")}</h4>
         <div>${msg("text.customiseSite")}</div>
         <div><a href="${url.context}/page/site/${page.url.templateArgs.site!}/customise-site" class="theme-color-1">${msg("link.customiseSite")}</a></div>
      </div>

MattyC,

you can identify the HTML element for which you would apply the restrictions and insert an FTL condition such as:

<#if isAdmin>
   <div id=… > … </div>
</#if>

at this moment, I don't remember exactly the model variable to distinguish the administrator from an ordinary user, but you can find it simply analyzing the code.

An simple solution to block Create Site:

1. Login with admin to the Explorer client.
2. Navigate to the "Sites" space.
3. Look at the authorization and change the role of Everyone to consumer.
4. Create a Share admins group and give it the appropriate permissions on this Sites space so they can create sites.
5. Add your Share admin users to this group
5. done.

Now if some without permission (everyone not in Share admin group) does try to create a Share site they get an error that access is denied.

Have fun,
