It is possible to control the visibility of the Repository link in Share through configuration. Note the Repository link is always visible to Administrators.

  1. Load the file tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/web-extension/share-config-custom.xml into your favorite editor (assuming you are using the Tomcat application server).
  2. Locate the Repository Library config section:
       <!-- Repository Library config section -->
       <config evaluator="string-compare" condition="RepositoryLibrary" replace="true">
          <!--
             Root nodeRef or xpath expression for top-level folder.
             e.g. alfresco://user/home, /app:company_home/st:sites/cm:site1
             If using an xpath expression, ensure it is properly ISO9075 encoded here.
          -->
          <root-node>alfresco://company/home</root-node>
        
          <tree>
             <!--
                Whether the folder Tree component should enumerate child folders or not.
                This is a relatively expensive operation, so should be set to "false" for Repositories with broad folder structures.
             -->
             <evaluate-child-folders>false</evaluate-child-folders>
                 
             <!--
                Optionally limit the number of folders shown in treeview throughout Share.
             -->
             <maximum-folder-count>500</maximum-folder-count>
          </tree>
        
          <!--
             Whether the link to the Repository Library appears in the header component or not.
          -->
          <visible>true</visible>
       </config>
    
  3. The configuration that can make the Repository link visible or invisible for non-administrators is the following:
      <visible>false</visible>                
    

    Set to true to have the Repository link available to all users.

  4. Restart the Content Services server.
