Remove 'Create New Library' for non staff in studio

[Owen Brasier]

Is there a setting similar to 'DISABLE_COURSE_CREATION': True

That I can add to my CMS settings or cms/envs/common.py, to disable the library creation for non staff in cypress? I can't find it in the docs.

Thanks!

Hi Owen,

 

Currently there isn't an option that allows to disable library creation for non-staff users. However, if you want to add one, it should be relatively straightforward - see:

https://github.com/edx/edx-platform/blob/0a2cfbe31cdc9c7493a1710f8dc167212d9c753b/cms/templates/index.html#L30-L33

 

If you send a pull request to add this change, don't hesitate to tag me on this, happy to help with the review.

 

Also, can I ask what is your use case? If you only allow staff to create courses, it should be harmless to let other users create libraries, since they require a course to be used?

Ah, good to know.... Actually, that doesn't look too hard, I'll add it on my long list of things to do.

For now I'll just make my library and remove the button :P

Thanks for your help!
