Fully disabling Cells

Although counter-intuitive, as user-managed collaboration spaces provided by Cells and are at the core of the product, it may be sometime desireable to strictly restrict access to a "read-only" or "upload-only" interface for users. Find out how in this short article.

First log in as administrator on your Cells Console and toggle Advanced Parameters on (top-left menu).

Disable sharing

• Go to Application parameters >> Sharing Features
• Disable all 4 check boxes (you might keep the first enable if necessary)
• Save changes

Disable Cells and their Creation

Merge Workspaces and Cells

• Go to Application parameters >> Main Settings
• Check the Merge Workspace and Cells box
• Save

Customize parameters via Roles

• Go to Identity Management >> Roles
• Edit the Root Group
• Go to the Application Parameters
• Choose Add for... >> All Workspaces
• Search for cells
• Choose Let User create new Cells
• toogle this off
• Add another rule by clicking on the + button that is left to the All Workspaces Header
• Search for action.share, choose My Shares and turn it off
• Add another, search for action.share, choose Shares and turn it off
• Save

You should be good to go (after a hard refresh of the interface)!
