How to hide create site link for particular user

As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

I am able to restrict site creation for a particular group by modifying the following files.

In public-services-security-context.xml

org.alfresco.service.cmr.site.SiteService.createSite=ACL_METHOD.ROLE_ADMINISTRATOR,ACL_METHOD.GROUP_SITECREATORS‍

In sites.get.js and mysites.get.js I added this

var createSiteVisible = userHasGroup(user.name, 'SITECREATORS');
model.createSiteVisible = createSiteVisible;

function userHasGroup(username, group) {
   var result = remote.call("/api/people/" + stringUtils.urlEncode(username) + "?groups=true");
   if (result.status == 200 && result != "{}")
   {
      var user = eval('(' + result + ')');

      var groups = new Array();
      groups = user.groups;
      var mygroups = "";
      for (i=0; i<groups.length; i++)
      {                   
         if (groups.itemName == "GROUP_"+group || groups.itemName == "GROUP_ALFRESCO_ADMINISTRATORS"){
        return true; // found group
      }else{
        mygroup = mygroups+groups.displayName;
      }
      }

      return false;
   }
   else return false;
}‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

In my-sites.get.html.ftl and sites.get.html.ftl I modified the condition as

<#if createSiteVisible>
           <span class="align-right yui-button-align">
              <#if showCreateSite>
              <span class="first-child">
                 <a href="#" id="${id}-createSite-button" class="theme-color-1">
                    <img src="${url.context}/res/components/images/site-16.png" style="vertical-align: text-bottom" />
                    ${msg("link.createSite")}</a>
              </span>
              </#if>
           </span>   
</#if>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

!user.isAdmin refers to admin user. What is the java script to refer a group?. Thank you

Hello,

You need to create an extension module and override the Share Header Menu controller (share-header.get.js) with something as follows;

var sitesMenu = widgetUtils.findObject(model.jsonModel, "id", "HEADER_SITES_MENU");
if (sitesMenu != null)
{
      sitesMenu.config.showCreateSite = false;
      var result = remote.call("/api/people/" + encodeURIComponent(user.name) + "?groups=true");
       if (result.status == 200)
          {
           var i;        

          // Create javascript objects from the server response
          // This is the User and it also contains all groups.
           var userValue = eval('(' + result + ')');


           if (userValue.groups.length != 0)
              {

                 for (i = 0; i < userValue.groups.length; i++)
                 {
                      if (userValue.groups.itemName == "GROUP_SITE_CREATORS" || userValue.groups.itemName == "GROUP_ALFRESCO_ADMINISTRATORS" ) {
         
         sitesMenu.config.showCreateSite = true;
         }   
           
                 }
              }          

          }
}

Hope this help!
