Title: Block users seeing namespaces
Post by: nayitian on 04 May 2009 10:55:02 AM
Hello,

From the personal folder, users can freely set up permission on their personal contents.
Are there any means that I can prevent them from seeing login namespaces ( roles and users ) ?
Thank you.

You can adjust the security permission for your users so that they can't view the administration page. is this what you want ?

to achieve this, you need to remove everyone group from all security roles and then assign you users to the required roles. Some of your users could be Authors or Consumers and in this case they will not be able to view the Administration page. You should have also an Administrator user that will be assigned to Directory Administrator role. This user will be able to go to the Administration pages ..

For more information you can refer to the Administration and Security reference.

Hope this could help.
