Srikanth,

The default configuration for Alfresco Share is that ANY user can create a new site. Has the Alfresco instance that you're working on been customized at all? One common customization that I see a lot is disabling the ability for users to create sites because that's generally something that should be left only to admin. Users do, however, have to be in the ALFRESCO_ADMINISTRATORS group in order to manage users and groups.

Hi Parzgnat,

I followed this step org.alfresco.service.cmr.site.SiteService.createSite=ACL_METHOD.ROLE_ADMINISTRATOR and configured it in the public-services-security-context.xml, but the problem is I have another group of users who should be able to create the users but should not be able to create the sites.So can you please help me on accomplishing that.

You could probably play around with this line in that file.


org.alfresco.service.cmr.security.PersonService.createPerson=ACL_METHOD.ROLE_ADMINISTRATOR

I would probably do something like
org.alfresco.service.cmr.security.PersonService.createPerson=ACL_METHOD.NAME OF GROUP FOR THIS PURPOSE.

If you have a group already setup with the individuals that are in question then just plug it in and see if it works. I've never tried this myself. I am curious to see if it works.
