hide "My account"
#1
Is it possible to hide the "My account" option from a user?

We have "guest" accounts that are shared by many users, so it's not good if they can edit anything (including notifications).

From the admin settings I already found the option to remove almost all user account editing options, but in our application it would be better if the whole "My account" was hidden from regular users.

Best if it could be turned on/off for individual users.

ps. the "version information" claims 3.1.0 RC2 even this was the latest 3.2.0 pack.

Real guest accounts should not have the 'My account' link. Your guest accounts appear to be regular users with very limited rights?

You can also set disableSelfEdit to true, but that affects all users.

Yes I have disableselfedit now checked and that's almost what I need. But still there are some notification options for the user available.

We don't want open guest access, but protected folders to a group of people (large groups). So instead of creating individual user accounts we could do well with one user ID that couldn't edit the account information (disableselfedit is good for this) but also prevent them modifying notification lists..

I also noticed there's "user" and "guest" roles when adding a user, what exactly is a "guest" role? It's probably in the docs, just haven't got to that yet, while building up the site.

Great software anyway, what I've been able to play around so far.

That's not possible right now, but sounds like a reasonable feature.

guest are users with just read access and almost no functionality but browsing and searching. They may not change their profile and cannot set notifications. So, this might be what you are seeking for. There is just one problem with guests. They can see documents even if access rights are completely taken away. I will fix that in LetoDMS 3.3.0
