Disable Guest Access

[The Online ESL Mentoring Program]

I've never done this before. I will just list the steps I think I need to do. Please let me know if I'm right or wrong Thanks!

Steps to Disable Guest Access:

1. Login to PuTTy

2. Type: # docker stop greenlight (enter)

3. Type # docker rm greenlight (enter)

4. Type DISABLE_GUEST_ACCESS=true (enter)

5. # docker run -d -p 5000:80 -v $(pwd)/db/production:/usr/src/app/db/production -v $(pwd)/assets:/usr/src/app/public/system --env-file env --name greenlight bigbluebutton/greenlight (enter)

Applying env File ChangesAnchor link for: applying env file changes

Whenever you update the env file and want to apply the changes to GreenLight, you must stop GreenLight, delete the container, and run it again.

To stop GreenLight and remove the existing container named ‘greenlight’, do the following:

# docker stop greenlight
# docker rm greenlight

Then use the same command to start the server

# docker run -d -p 5000:80 -v $(pwd)/db/production:/usr/src/app/db/production -v $(pwd)/assets:/usr/src/app/public/system --env-file env --name greenlight bigbluebutton/greenlight

Disabling guest accessAnchor link for: disabling guest access

A user must login to GreenLight to access features such as meeting updates, preferences, recording management, and more. However, GreenLight will allow unauthenticated users to create meetings.

If you wish to disable guest access and only allow authenticated users to create meetings, you should uncomment and set the DISABLE_GUEST_ACCESS environment variable in the env file to true.

DISABLE_GUEST_ACCESS=true

This will not prevent unauthenticated users from joining meetings created by authenticated users if they have been given the invite URL.

Disabling guest access will also set a new landing page that welcomes the user to GreenLight, and prompts them to login.

Do the steps in Applying env file changes to apply the new changes.

Hi there,

The instructions state

> you should uncomment and set the DISABLE_GUEST_ACCESS environment variable in the env file

Your just typing the text on the terminal.  You need to edit the file called 'env' (google on how to best do this on Linux).

Regards,... Fred

Hello Fred!. This is for an older release of Greenlight?, for Greenlight 2.1.0 I did not find this setting on the .env file.

Hi SpartanU,

I think the label changed.  Looking through the docs

  http://docs.bigbluebutton.org/greenlight/gl-customize.html#in-application-greenlight

look for the configuration ALLOW_GREENLIGHT_ACCOUNTS in the env file.

Regards,... Fred
