How do you disable the 'Shared Files' option from the main menu?

wshomeworker10 — Fri, 13 Mar 2020 12:29:13 GMT

One of our clients wants do disabled the 'Shared Files' option because he doesn't want users to be able to put files in the shared files area, just in their own sites.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks.

I have actually already seen this but I was hoping there was an easier way that didn't involve re-writing Alfresco or creating whole new AMP modules.

Can it be done simply by changing permissions anywhere?

Yes, the simpliest way is change permisions on folder "Shared" in repository. Of couse, users will have menu item "Shared files", but they coudn't write to it.
