Check share-config-custom.xml. Chances are it has a line like


<item type="link" id="repository" condition="conditionRepositoryRootNode" permission="admin">/repository</item>
‍‍‍

in it.

You can probably guess that removing permission="admin" will make the repository globally visible.

Hello

Thanks for you reply rjohnson.

This file (share-config-custom.xml) i was the first things that i check. i see in forums this change that you comments, but, in my share-config-custom.xml not appears the "admin" config.

This is my share-config-custom.xml line:

<item type="link" id="repository" condition="conditionRepositoryRootNode">/repository</item>

Thanks

All you posted for your share-custom-config.xml entry was

/repository

so I think you have missed out the code in error. Can you have another go at showing what is in your share-custom-config.xml and maybe post a larger chunk of the XML?

IF you want to port xml content in post surround it with "code" tag. Otherwise it will not be visible properly.

Hi,

Dave Draper has some discussion here:

http://forums.alfresco.com/forum/end-user-discussions/alfresco-share/make-options-header-admin-only-alfresco-42d-09022013-1746

It turns out that how the header is rendered is changed in 4.2.d. The quick solution is to go into share-config.xml (not, share-config-custom.xml, I tried that, didn't work) find the legacy-mode-enabled block, set that to true and restart alfresco.

There's a bug in rendering the Sites dropdown (aesthetic only, could be worth fixing yourself). There may be a better fix in 4.2.e when that comes out. But for now, thats the one.

Another workaround would be to have the non-admin users create a Web View in their dashboard and point that webview at /share/page/repository. It'll only be on their dashboard (not the header), but it'll be easy to get to. Although the webview will be squashed if you put it in a narrow column.
