Disable Archive Explorer delete button EV 8.0.4

[Sarah_Seftel1]

Hi

In an enviroments where in the site settings we've allowed deletion of files, I've created different policies, and only users on a specific groups will be able to delete items from their VV.

My problem is that in archive explorer the delete button is available and deletes file to users on all groups (including those who are not supposed to delete).

I know that the delete button is available due to the site setting that allows deletion, but I wany to grey this button at all to all users.

WebApp.ini (in a ANSI format) with:

ISDeleteButton=0

ArchiveExplorerDelete=0

located in the right folder (c:\program file (x86)\enterprise vault)

iisreset - done several times.

IE cache was deleted on users computers

Button still available...

what am I missing?

Thanks !

Sarah.

I think that making custom changes in AE have been deprecated since EV6

[Sarah_Seftel1]

Customing AE is unavailable?

Think this is "allowed" again in a later 8.0 SP

Yeah unfortunately so, unless theyve had a change of heart recently When I get back to my computer I can probably tell you what to change in the code but then it becomes unsupported and each time you install or upgrade those changes will be reset

[MichelZ]

This IS supported again since 8.0 SP1:

I once had a problem where 2008 R2 created the file as WebApp.ini.txt (hidden extensions), I know, long shot... but maybe? :D

[MichelZ · Accepted solution]

Oh, and you should add "ViewMessage_Delete=0", too..?

Cheers

Ok based on the article (good find!) ISDelete is not the one you want as This is for integrated search which launches through outlook, you want ArchiveExplorerDelete = 0

[Sarah_Seftel1]

Since I wand to allow deletion only through VV.

I'll also check if by any chance the ini file was saved as txt as suggested by Tony.

will post my results tomorrow.

10X !
