Hide Repository Browser

[sebastian1]

Hi!

Is it possible to hide the Reporitory Browser for non admin users?

Ok so that little fix only hides the link you can still get to the repository even if your a non-admin by simply typing in

http://myserver:8080/share/page/repository

How do you limit access to the repository? What's the point of all the permisioning and role setting if everyone can just view the whole repository!

Can anyone help me out with this?

The original question was "hide" not "prevent access to".

To do that you can override the site-data/pages/repository.xml definition to change the authentication to "admin".

Thanks,
Mike

I guess the <header> tags in "share-config.xml" only appear in the 3.4.c version. There are no header tags in my 3.3 version. Is there a way to add a whole "header" section and make it work like in 3.4.c?

No, sorry. You'll need v3.4.

Hi,

Hi Pankaj,

Open Share-config.xml file and locate the following line.

 <item type="link" id="repository" condition="conditionRepositoryRootNode" permission="admin">/repository</item> ‍

Add permission="admin" attribute to it.

 <item type="link" id="repository" condition="conditionRepositoryRootNode" permission="admin">/repository</item>
‍‍

Hope this helps you.

While you can edit the share-config file directly, it is not a stable method: http://docs.alfresco.com/4.2/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.alfresco.enterprise.doc%2Fconcepts%2Fshare-confi...

The best way is to edit the share-config-custom.xml file.
Enter the share-config-custom.xml file:

 
sudo nano /opt/alfresco-4.2.e/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/web-extension/share-config-custom.xml 
‍‍‍

Find this section:

 
<!– Whether the link to the Repository Library appears in the header component or not.–>
<visible>true</visible> 
‍‍‍‍

and add

permission="admin"‍

after "true".
It should now look like this:

 <visible>true permission="admin"</visible> ‍

I have attached an image of the final settings.
Don't forget to restart your Alfresco services after making these changes
