Disabling QuickShare for consumers

After upgrading to version 4.2.2 (Enterprise), we noticed that consumers can now click on the quickshare button and be able to publicly share documents.

Does anyone have a way to disable QuickShare for consumers?


Thanks !

I am checking out Alfresco 5.0.x now and I do see the same.
Anyone who can see a file can share that file.

I looked all over the forum and also Googled till the 20th page after the first results..
Apparently their is no such thing as a simple configuration somewhere.

I only found one for global:
Put this in \tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco-global.properties
system.quickshare.enabled=false
But it disables functionality for all users, but leaves the icon (?)
One user suggested to "display:none;" using CSS.. but that is not safe. But at least on the right track.


I now figured I should enable/disable the link button (or icon) itself from the html. I only do not know what file is responsible for that part. Or rather, files as this link may show up on multiple locations in the screen.
Who can shine a light on this? I would be very happy. Where and what files do I need to touch for that?

Thanks
