Disable "My Collections"

[Jordan]

I am working in an environment where everyone needs to see and use the exact same collections(public collections). However, there are several places where it is very easy for a user to copy items to "my collection", which would not be accessible to other users. Is there a simple way to disable the "my collection" functionality?

The "my collection" collection is a default made for every user. I suppose you could delete this collection in mysql, but I'm unsure of how this would affect the rest of the system.

The "b" permission toggles the collection bar at the bottom of the screen. supporting options for restricting collections can be found in the config (what below are taken directly from config.default.php):

# Display a 'My Collections' link in the top navigation
$mycollections_link=false;

# Confine public collections display to the collections posted by the user's own group, sibling groups, parent group and children groups.
# All collections can be accessed via a new 'view all' link.
$public_collections_confine_group=false;

# Show public collections in the top nav?
$public_collections_top_nav=false;

# Allow users to create new collections. Set to false to prevent creation of new collections.
$collection_allow_creation=true;

Further to Allison's suggestions, if you set the 'b' permission it will disable to collection bar entirely.

I'd you delete it, the system creates a new one, like a hydra. This is my memory.

On reflection, it's suboptimal. Its original intent was to avoid people having no collections at all, but a simple warning and hard stop asking the user to create one of their choosing is smarter. I wouldn't bet on anyone getting to that for a good while.
