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.
This add-on gives you the ability to restrict Alfresco Share site creation to a specific group of users. Users not in the group will not see a "Create Site" link in:
In addition, for users not in the group, the "welcome" dashlet's text changes to explain what a Share site is but does not imply that they have the ability to create one. A nice enhancement might be a link that launches a workflow to request a new site. (Pull requests welcome!) By default, the group the module looks for must have an ID of "GROUP_SITE_CREATORS". The display name can be anything.
This add-on also changes the low-level permissions so that even if someone figures out how to create a site without the user interface, the repository tier won't let them do that unless they are in the group.
