Disabling the User Directory service for a website

You can disable the User Directory service for any website that CPS manages.

Note: To disable other services, you must use the CPS Console. For more information, see the CPS Console Help.

When you disable the User Directory service, users who were connected to the website cannot connect until you send them connection keys with new connection information.

To disable the User Directory service for a website:

  1. Publish any open drafts for the website.

    You might not be able to access outstanding drafts after you disable the service.

    Note: Make sure that users connected to the website also publish any outstanding drafts.

  2. Select Edit > Administer Websites (Windows) or Contribute > Administer Websites (Macintosh), and then select the website you want to administer from the submenu.

    The Administer Website dialog box appears.

  3. Select Publishing Server from the category list on the left.
  4. Click the Disable User Directory button.

    Contribute disables the User Directory service for this website.

    Note: Users who were connected to this website cannot connect until you send them connection keys with new connection information.

  5. Click Close to close the Administer Website dialog box.
