my recomendation is to create 2 types of view for instance user and pro.

and to change your actions( and other in this way), so users can change their type of view from one to other.

why this approach is better?

because you will find that you have in dialogs some complicated parts, that users if do not see workflow they do not have to see workflow panel…. you will find a lot more if you look at it better.

so how to do this?

<action id="upload_new_version">
            <permissions>
               <permission allow="true">Write</permission>
            </permissions>
            <evaluator>org.alfresco.web.action.evaluator.UploadNewVersionEvaluator</evaluator> THIS CLASS DECIDES IF ACTIONS IS TO BE RENDERED.
            <label-id>upload_new_version</label-id>
            <image>/images/icons/upload_new_version.gif</image>
            <action-listener>#{UploadNewVersionDialog.setupContentAction}</action-listener>
            <action>dialog:uploadVersion</action>
            <params>
               <param name="id">#{actionContext.id}</param>
            </params>
         </action>

ps:you have file "web-client-config-workflow-actions.xml" too check it out.

public class CancelCheckoutDocEvaluator implements ActionEvaluator
{
   public boolean evaluate(Node node)
   {
