How can I disable the portal profile?

Posted on by 338
Hi there
 
I want to:
  • Stop users being directed to the Profile when they first log in
  • Ideally, disable access to the Profile completely
I hoped the following site settings would have done the job:
 
 
But they haven't, both when the F in false is lower case or upper case (not sure why some site settings use False and others use false and whether it makes any difference):
 
 
Any suggestions?

    Do you want to disable the profile or redirect viewers to home page on url load ?

    Try this.
     
    1. Turn on site setting Profile/Enabled so it goes to the profile page as normal.
     
    2. Go to site markers and locate the marker called "Profile"
     
    3. Change the page destination on this site marker to the desired page you want to redirect the user towards upon successful login.
     
    Note: This would also change any profile links in your templates/pages which use the profile link to that selected page.

    Let me know if that worked for you.

    Thanks @GWham and @Akah Mandela
     
    Setting the page of the Profile site marker to Home directs all clicks on the Profile option on the menu to the Home page.  This solves my problem, as I don't want users to edit their profile data.
     
     
    Ideally, I'd like to remove the Profile option from the menu, but the above solution is acceptable if I can't.

    @GWham, it isn't allowing me to accept your answer atm, but I will do when I can.

    May also add a Web Page Access Control Rule with restrict read to the profile Web Page but not assign the Rule to any Security Role (this should also remove it from the menu - )

    Glad that fixed your issue 👌
     
    You can remove the profile link in the "Header" Web Template if you do not require it.

    Thanks both
     
    @Fubar, I tried the access control rule with restrict read to the Profile web page... but the Profile link remained on the menu.
     
    @GWham, I was able to remove the Profile link in the "Header" Web Template, but I'm trying to steer no-code or low-code developers away from code and it would be possible to do a lot of harm editing the "Header" Web Template.
     
    However, studing the relevant code in the "Header" Web Template helped me work out how to change the text of the Profile link by adding a content snippet with the name = 'Profile Link Text'.  Hence, I have:
    • Created a 'Contact Us' page in the 'Other Pages' section
    • Added a content snippet with the name = 'Profile Link Text' and a value = 'Contact Us'
    • Amended the 'Profile' Site Marker in Power Pages Management to point to 'Contact Us'
    The menu then looked like this:
     
     
    However, there was a snag.  When a new user logs on, they are directed to the Profile page until they have modified the Profile.  Hence, new users were being directed to Contact Us page instead of the Home page on logon. 

    Hence, I have:
    • Amended the content snippet with the name = 'Profile Link Text' to the value = 'Home'
    • Amended the 'Profile' Site Marker in Power Pages Management to point to 'Home'



     It isn't perfect, but users can't edit their Profile and the link Home takes users to the home page.

    I am still unable to accept the earlier answer re Site Markers, but will try again.

    Restrict Web Role Access:

    • In Portal Management, go to Web Pages and find the Profile page.
    • Under Page Permissions, remove any Web Roles assigned to the Profile page. This will prevent users from accessing it based on their role.
