How to disable a document library easily?

ahmedsyscs — Sun, 22 Dec 2013 04:05:36 GMT

Hello,A client of ours has chosen to allocate one site in Share per organizational department. For example, the Finance department has their own site. The IT department has their own site. And so on for the other departments (actually many other organizational units, but I'm simplifying on purpose).

Hi,

One problem with your approach might be that whatever permissions you set on documents, the owner of that document will still have full rights on it.
Another lead (I didn't experiment with it, hence the term "lead") might be to expose the cm:lockable aspect (through share config).
Then you could create a simple recursive rule adding this aspect recursively and trigger it manually.

I haven't played around with the lockable aspect so it might not have the expected behaviour but it's worth a try.
You could potentially reach your goal while keeping the ACLs in place to be migrated as well (and no private folder suddenly becoming public once migrated)

Thanks for the reply. We hit upon this solution as well. Locking the content was better than the original approach we considered.

Thanks again; we thought alike.
