Environment
Micro Focus Filr 3.x
Situation
Is there a way to allow all users the ability to share files externally except for a certain group of users?
Note: review this portion of the documentation to learn how to Enable Users to Share.
Example:
With Filr 3.4.2 and earlier, you have the ability to enable all users to share files and the ability enable a group of users to share files. But, the opposite is not an option: enable all users to share files, except a certain group.

Resolution
- Apply the 3.4.3 Filr update.
- Stop the Filr service
- rcfilr stop
- Add the following two lines to the /opt/novell/filr/apache-tomcat/webapps/ssf/WEB-INF/classes/config/ssf-ext.properties file:
- Syntax:
- enable.sharing.exception=true
- enable.sharing.exception.list=<GroupName>
- Example:
- enable.sharing.exception=true
- enable.sharing.exception.list=group1
- Change group1 to the name of the group which you want to exclude. Meaning, the group which you do not want them to have the ability to share files.
- Start the Filr service
- rcfilr start
