Hi,
We are using this option in alfresco 4.1.1 Enterprise Edition.
This will not disable the create site link, rather it will not allow the user's to create new site.
If a non-administrator tries to create a new site, it will throw permission error.

Hope this helps you !

One more question. I want to have this configuration in a jar file. Where should I put the configuration file in the jar to override SiteService_security configuration? I put it in custom-slingshot-application-context.xml but it doesn't work. This is my project structure:

config/alfresco/site-webscripts –> new webscripts
config/alfresco/web-extension –> custom-slingshot-application-context.xml and share-config-custom.xml
config/alfresco/web-extension/site-webscripts –> webscripts that override existing ones
source/web –> css files

Thanks,

The SiteService_security bean is part of the Alfresco repository bean configuration. So your changes need to be in a *-context.xml file in the alfresco /extension folder - the web-extension folder is only used by the Share web-application.

Create a group GROUP_CreateSiteAdministrator
add your ste creators that are not admins to it.

Modify the my-sites.get.js module

function main()
{
   createSite = false
 
       var result = remote.call("/api/people/" + stringUtils.urlEncode(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[i].itemName == "GROUP_ALFRESCO_ADMINISTRATORS") createSite = true;
                      if (userValue.groups[i].itemName == "GROUP_CreateSiteAdministrator") createSite = true; 
                 }
              }            

          }
   
   // Check for IMAP server status
   var result = remote.call("/imap/servstatus"),
      imapServerEnabled = (result.status == 200 && result == "enabled");

   // Prepare the model for the template
   model.imapServerEnabled = imapServerEnabled;
   model.createSite = createSite;
}

main();‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

then in the HTML file my-sites.get.html.ftl modify to check the createsite flag.

            <span class="first-child">
               <#if createSite>
               <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>
               </#if>      
            </span>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

I tried to implement this method in 5.0a, but it doesn't seem to have any effect. Unsure if I'm doing it wrong. Is this method compatible with 5.0a?
