Removing the downloads tab for a deployment area or group
On the My account page, users can have access to a Downloads tab, where they can download the installed Spotfire client. As an administrator, you can decide whether this tab should be available, in a couple of different ways.
About this task
Note: Users who download the installed client will not get access to any
more functionality than their
licenses allow, even when using the
installed client. If they are only allowed to open analyses in the web client,
and not to create them, this will be true for the installed client as well.
You can
remove the package "Spotfire Analyst
installer" from deployment areas assigned to users that you do not want to have
access (see also the CLI command
update-deployment where
you can use the
--remove-packages argument). See
Assigning a deployment area to a group
for information about assigning deployment areas. However, with this method you
must remember to remove the package again when doing new installations or
upgrades.
To completely remove the Downloads tab from a server, use the following steps.
