UI customisation at user level

[aparna_pl]

Hi
I am trying to customise the home page(after user login) according to the rights reserved to every user.
eg., the user must be able to view only his home dir and not any other directories(like Data dictionary, models, user homes etc.,). The navigation panel that appears on the left side should also not be seen.
What are the files to be modified for this/ is there any tutorial for this?

thanks
Ponnulakshmi.

Check out the following JSPs and the parts you will be intrested will be
<%@ include file="../parts/titlebar.jsp" %>
in those JSP files.

<<ALFRESCO_HOME>>\tomcat\webapps\alfresco\jsp\browse\browse.jsp
<<ALFRESCO_HOME>>\tomcat\webapps\alfresco\jsp\browse\dashboard.jsp
<<ALFRESCO_HOME>>\tomcat\webapps\alfresco\jsp\dashboards\container.jsp

For changing the landing page, you can add the below in <<ALFRESCO_HOME>>\tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco\extension\web-client-config-custom.xml file

          <!– This value should be one of 'myalfresco', 'userhome', 'companyhome' or 'guesthome' –>
         <initial-location>myalfresco</initial-location>

I hope this helps.

Thanks,

Remove the everyone group from the permissions on different elements - setup permissions to the different spaces via User groups explicitly and remove inheritance of rights where appropriate.

You can do this in the explorer e.g. as admin by selecting the node / container and then setup the permissions within the  [More Actions] menu. These permission settings then also work for access via CIFS, IMAP or within Share. If you have a larger site you might want to write down / design an approach before you start doing this.

hi all.,
   as u had done the UI cutomisation at user end have u tried?
   1) Customisation of My alfresco…dashboard(apart from configuaration icon provided by them)?
   2) hiding a particular space from particualar sapce…..e.g in comapny home i am having 5 sapces. as company home says invite everyone all the spaces are visible. but i want only the spaces to which i had invited the user will be visible and rest are invisible.
    actually i tried with remove inheritance tag but that time spaces are visible but content is invisible….
   thanks in advance
