Removing "New Request" menu from the Standard portal.

[Marco]

Hi All,
I'm trying to figure out how to remove from the standar portal the possibility to create a new request.
I have to option:
1) Limiting this based on the profile (Best solution)
2) Removing totally from the Portal the "New request" section (Quick win)

I'm writing here because till now I didn't find really an easy way and maybe someone can help me.

Thanks a lot to everybody.

Cheers,
Marco

Hello Marco,

This can be done by either removing the "brick" from the portal or just disabling the "brick". In both case, you will have to make your own iTop extension, check this tutorial, it will be a great bootstrap for what you want.

Here is the portal XML reference, where you can find how bricks are structured. See that you can either :
- Remove the "brick" node with the "services" ID
- Redefine the "active" node with "false"

Hope this helps,
Guillaume

Hi Guillaume,
thanks for the quick prompt. In the meanwhile I'm testing the tag security. It seems working perfectly, I can disable only specific profile.

Cheers,
Marco
