Block Teamsite Access

What's the best way to block access to all users except those with Teamsite Admin privileges in TS 6.7.1 SP1? By block access I mean, these users couldn't login to ContentCenter.

Thanks in advance.

one approach, assuming these are TS users...

1. make a backup of tsusers.xml
2. loop through a list of all TS users
3. get their roles
4. if not in an admin role then remove from tsusers.xml

something like...


for (iwuseradm list-users -t) {
 unless iwuseradm all-roles-of-user user =~ /admin/
 iwuseradm remove-user user
}

Right, but I guess I should have been more clear. I don't want to remove TS users. I simply want to disable access to login. At a later date, I will allow login access again.

Might not be possible, but thought I'd ask.

That's the purpose of the backup - to re-enable all users.

TeamSite authorization is controlled with tsusers.xml, users with an entry are valid and those without are not.

As far as I'm aware the only approach to temporarily disable a user's access to TeamSite is to temporarily remove their entry from tsusers.xml.
