You can revoke the site permission to the admin account only. Then from there the alfresco admin can give permissions to what users you want to give manager access to.

Go to webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/public-services-security-context.xml

Change from

org.alfresco.service.cmr.site.SiteService.createSite=ACL_ALLOW

to

org.alfresco.service.cmr.site.SiteService.createSite=ACL_METHOD.ROLE_ADMINISTRATOR

Can you go into more detail as to the steps you take? The instructions above even on 4.2.c should work.

Ok, we use 4.2.c on an Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I followed the instruction on http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Site_Service#Controlling_site_creation_permissions_in_Alfresco_3.4.6_and_later an changed org.alfresco.service.cmr.site.SiteService.createSite=ACL_ALLOW in org.alfresco.service.cmr.site.SiteService.createSite=ACL_METHOD.ROLE_ADMINISTRATOR. I restart the server (after save the file) and try to create a site with a normal user, not admin. I can create a site and i see nor errors in the logs. I dont know what i have to change. I dont change or make the steps from the wiki "For Alfresco 3.4.6 and possibly other later versions, two changes need to be made in addition to the above change ……….". I only change the ACL, because there is written that it is enough. Sorry, for my bad english. What should i write more, so you can help?

Best regards, Gerhard Prade

I would make sure the user you are using is not part of the adminitrator group in Alfresco. Plus users can go to create site and put in all the information, but it won't actually take. Can you actually get past this step?

The user is not in the alfresco_administrators group. And he can create and edit the site.

If you have a vanilla install of Alfresco and haven't done much changes other than the above for the site creation then you should be good to go. I'd recommend installing Alfresco again. By all accounts it should be working.
