ALFRESCO_ADMINISTRATORS is the default admin group that is installed with Alfresco. ROLE_ADMINISTRATOR would be the same thing in the config files that is used.

To change only the admin having the ability to create sites go to

install DIR/tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/public-services-security-context.xml

that is where your line of code you have mentioned above is.

I've never tried putting the code in the share-config.xml file before.

As far as making the button only visible to admin I don't believe there is a way to do that without having to do some serious modifying. That will cause some issues with upgrading.

Personally I like to see users try to create sites, I give an evil laugh when they get the access denied notice >
