disabling the existed content moodel for a specific users

[mialfresco]

Hi team,
My requirement is, i'm having various departments like HR,Marketing,users,management,IT etc.
Each department having its own content model to upload a file and searching a file.
I developed a couple of content models for this requirement.

let us say itContentModel.xml, marketingContentModel.xml, hrContentModel.xml etc and  it-model-context.xml, marketing-model-context.xml, hr-model-context.xml etc and placed in shared/extension folder.


But i don't know how to deploy/enable these content models based on roles like IT,marketing, management etc.
and disabling the existed/predefined content model.

can anyone suggest me the best way to achieve this.
thanks for your help.

Content models are always repository wide. So you will have to make them one model. And i dont know a way to differentiate between properties for different user groups. You could consider offering them different Share clients and have those connect to the same Alfresco instance. Not very nice from a maintenance point of view.

You could also have a look at multi-tenancy to see if this kind of architecture wouldn't suit perfectly your needs …
