Hide password and confirm password buttons from Alfresco UI New User Page and hardcode one default password for all the new users.

Hi,

My task is to hide password and verify password fields from Alfresco UI New User Page and hardcode one default password for all the new users. I have already made the custom code such that the new user is receiving the mail with username and random password...

How to hide the password and verify password fields? Any suggestion will be helpful...

This is not something Alfresco ever considered people might want to customize, so this is something rather hard to customize. The simplest / easiest option in this case might just be to override the users.get.html.ftl template via the web-extension folder and change the HTML markup of the create user form, i.e. apply the CSS class "hidden" to the field rows of the fields you want to suppress and set the value on the password inputs to your default password.

Is this correct?? This is to hide the password. Where shall I set the value say 'xyz' as default password?

<div class="field-row">
<span class="crud-label">${msg("bel.password")}: *</span>
</div>
<div class="field-row">
<input class="crud-input" id="${el}-create-password" type="hidden" maxlength="100" />
</div>
<div class="field-row">
<span class="crud-label">${msg("label.rifypassword")}: *</span>
</div>
<div class="field-row">
<input class="crud-input" id="${el}-create-verifypassword" type="hidden" maxlength="100" />
</div>

No - the inputs are missing the default value you talked about and I said the "hidden" class should be added to the field rows, not the input elements.

Thank you for the reply, but I am not able to proceed accordingly...

<div class="field-row hidden">
<span class="crud-label">${msg("bel.password")}: *</span>
</div>
<div class="field-row hidden">
<input class="crud-input" id="${el}-create-password" type="password" maxlength="100" value="myDummyPassword" />
</div>
<div class="field-row hidden">
<span class="crud-label">${msg("label.rifypassword")}: *</span>
</div>
<div class="field-row hidden">
<input class="crud-input" id="${el}-create-verifypassword" type="password" maxlength="100" value="myDummyPassword" />
</div>

Tried the same thing....Still not working

I have saved the file here:

src/main/amp/config/alfresco/site-webscripts/org/alfresco/components/console/usergroups/users.get.html.ftl

Hi Ankita,

Axel is right but additionally you have to remove or comment the following lines in user.js file which is located at "\tomcat\webapps\share\components\console\users.js" as follows

fnClearEl("-create-password");
fnClearEl("-create-verifypassword");‍‍

Thanks,
