Disable operations on directory objects

Operations available to each user in the web interface depend on the permissions of that user, granted by security roles. If a user is not allowed to perform an operation, they will not see it in the web interface.

However, you might need to explicitly disable certain operations. For example, when a user selects multiple objects, the web interface doesn't check the permissions for each of the selected objects and displays all the available operations. Also, you may want to disable some operations to simplify the user interface and get rid of the features you will not be using.

1. Open Adaxes web interface configurator.

    How

   • On the computer where web interface configurator is installed, open Windows Start menu.

   • Click Adaxes Web Interface Configurator.

   To configure the web interface, you need to have the appropriate permissions.

    Permissions

   The permissions to configure the web interface are delegated via security roles. By default, only service administrators have the appropriate permissions. To enable other users to configure the web interface, grant them the corresponding permissions.

   To create a security role that grants the permissions to configure web interface:

   • In Adaxes administration console, right-click your Adaxes service, point to New and click Security Role.

   • Enter a name for the new security role and click Next.

   • On the Permissions step, click the down arrow embedded into the Add button and click Configure Web Interface.

   • Click Next and follow the steps in the wizard.

2. In the top left corner, select the web interface you want to customize.

3. In the left navigation menu, click Management.

4. To disable an operation, clear the checkbox next to it in the Operations section.

   You can configure Custom Commands in the same way you configure other operations.

5. You can disable an operation only in specific web interface components. For example, you can disallow the Delete operation in search results.

    How to disable Delete on search results { #configureoperations}

   • Select the Delete operation.

   • On the Visibility tab, clear the checkbox in the Visible column for the Search component.

     If you want an operation to be hidden by default under the Other button, enable the checkbox in the Other column.

6. Also, you can disable specific operations when viewing individual objects.

    How to hide an operation in object views { #howtodisableforview}

   • In the Operations section, select the operation you want to hide.

   • On the Visibility tab, clear the checkbox in the Visible column for the object type you need.

     If you want an operation to be hidden by default under the Other button, select the checkbox in the Other column.

7. Save the changes.

   Section settings can be applied to other web interface configurations. Click the down arrow button in the top right corner of the section and then click Apply to other web interfaces.
