This add-on gives you the ability to hide Alfresco Share document library actions and regions to a specific group of users.
Users not in the group will not see configured actions (move, copy ...) in:
- Document Library
- Document Details
Users not in the group will not see regions (metadata, versions, workflows ...) in:
- Document Details
By default, the group the module looks for must have an ID of "GROUP_SIMPLE_USER". The display name can be anything. When you create the group you do not specify "GROUP_"--Alfresco will prepend that for you.
This add-on does not changes the low-level permissions so that if someone figures out how to launch actions without the user interface, the repository tier let them do that
There are only one AMP associated with this add-on. Is a "Share tier" AMP.
Use mvn install to create the AMP.
You can install the AMPs as you normally would using the MMT. For example, to install on a server, you would copy simplify-share-1.0.0.amp to $ALFRESCO_HOME/amps_share, then run bin/apply_amps.sh.
Once the AMPs are deployed, start up Alfresco.
Create a new group with an ID of "SIMPLE_USER". You can add individuals and groups to this group.
