How to Hide Guest Access Permissions from Adobe Connect Meetings and Virtual Classrooms

Issue: Administrators may want to allow hosts the ability to only invite registered Adobe Connect users to join Meetings and Virtual Classroom sessions; they may wish to hide the option to allow guest access.

Environment:

• Adobe Connect 12.5.1 and later On-premise
• Adobe Connect 12.5.1 and later ACMS and Managed USP Accounts

Steps to follow are:-

1. From the Adobe Connect server navigate to the path: ~\Connect\12.x\appserv\apps\lcui\meeting
2. create a copy of the sco_edit.xsl file
3. In the sco_edit.xsl file search for the following tags:
   a) “page-header” – place the style block above the script blocks
   <style>
#enter-room-accepted-guests-option,
#enter-room-url-option
{ display: none; }
</style>
   for reference see the screen shot:
   
   b) “page-init” – place the function
   function hideSettings()
{const checkboxIds = ['enter-room-url', 'enter-room-accepted-guests'];
checkboxIds.forEach(id => {const checkbox = document.getElementById(id);
if (checkbox && checkbox.checked)
{ checkbox.click(); }
});
}setTimeout(hideSettings, 1500);
   for reference see the screen shot:
   
4. Save this sco_edit.xsl file
5. Restart of Adobe Connect Service is required for the changes applied.

Result: When hosts now tries to create a new Meeting room they only get three options for access permissions to choose from
