Overview

In some cases, it is necessary to hide the default templates in the ARM Rich Client to ensure users can access only the loaded custom templates

Access Rights Manager

Resolution

To hide these default templates from all users (incl. ARM admins), please add the following to pnServer.config.xml at %ProgramData%\protected-networks.com\8MAN\cfg:

<templates.suppressStandard type="System.Boolean">true</templates.suppressStandard>

To hide these default templates from Data Owners only, please add the following to pnServer.config.xm:

<templates.dataOwner.includeStandard type="System.Boolean">true</templates.dataOwner.includeStandard>

Please make sure the pnServer.config.xml still ends with the </config> tag.

Restart the ARM-Service.

The client will then only display your own templates:
