Overview

This article details the process to hide the Client Access tab. Neither administrator nor regular users will be able to see the tab once it is hidden.

Process

Note: This procedure requires to edit files manually. If edited incorrectly it can leave the server in a non-operational state. Please keep backups of any file which is edited throughout this article before saving any changes to them.

1. Open the following file in a text editor like Notepad: ..\GFI\Archiver\ASPNET\UI\Settings\MArcPagesAccessCtrl.cfg
   
   
2. Locate the following XML element:

     <MArcTab Id="EmailClientAccess" AttributesTakeControl="false">
     <Order>5</Order>
     <AssociatedPage Id="EmailClientAccess" AttributesTakeControl="false">
     <ParentId />
     <TabId />
     <DialogPage>false</DialogPage>
     <Visible>true</Visible>
     <SavedInCookies>false</SavedInCookies>
     </AssociatedPage>
     </MArcTab>
   

3. Comment out the whole element by enclosing it in: <!--   -->
   The element should read:

     <!--
     <MArcTab Id="EmailClientAccess" AttributesTakeControl="false">
     <Order>5</Order>
     <AssociatedPage Id="EmailClientAccess" AttributesTakeControl="false">
     <ParentId />
     <TabId />
     <DialogPage>false</DialogPage>
     <Visible>true</Visible>
     <SavedInCookies>false</SavedInCookies>
     </AssociatedPage>
     </MArcTab>
     -->
   

4. Save the file.
5. Run the following command to restart IIS: iisreset /noforce

Note: When upgrading to a newer version of GFI Archiver, installation files mentioned in this procedure will be overwritten with default versions making the changes void and ineffective. It is therefore suggested to keep a record of this procedure and follow it once again directly after upgrading to keep this functionality intact.
