Disabling Newsfeed and options for disabling cloud connections for specific users

Question asked by Pusparaj Raut - 1/9/2025 at 1:36 AM

Hi,

Disabling Newsfeed for All or Specific Users:
Is there a way to disable the Newsfeed feature for all users in the system? If yes, what steps should I follow to achieve this?
Disabling Cloud Connections for Specific Users:
I would like to restrict cloud connection features (e.g., file storage or synchronization with third-party cloud services) for certain users . Can this be done, and how should I proceed?

I appreciate any help or documentation references you can provide on these configurations.

Hello,

Currently, the News Feed option can not be disabled in the settings. Cloud Storage can be disabled at the domain level but not per user. To disable it at the domain level you will need to go to manage -> domains -> {selected_domain} -> option [tab] -> features [card].

Thank you

I just wanted to let you know that we did get this added in our most recent release, so you should be able to disable news feeds as desired now. Thanks for your suggestion on this!
