User home space

When I create new users I don't want them to have a home space. Is this possible to do in Alfresco?Regards

You can make them to have Guest Home as their home space.

To do that you need to use "guestHomeFolderProvider" in authentication-services-context.xml instead of personalHomeFolderProvider as defaultProvider property value for homeFolderManager bean

For more info, see http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Security_and_Authentication#Creating_home_spaces_-_from_1.4_onwards

So I can't use "nada, nothing"?. Just send it to /dev/null sorta way? :?:

I kinda thought something like commenting out the part:

    <bean name="homeFolderManager" class="org.alfresco.repo.security.person.HomeFolderManager">

        <property name="nodeService">

          <ref bean="nodeService" />

      </property>

        <property name="policyComponent">

          <ref bean="policyComponent" />

      </property>

        <property name="defaultProvider">

          <ref bean="personalHomeFolderProvider" />

      </property>

    </bean>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

from authentication-services-context.xml

I believe homeFolder is required attribute of user model. So, I think, it better to set it to something, unless you want to do massive changes in how Alfresco handles logins and navigation.
