SharePoint 2007: Ever wondered if there is an easy way to stop users creating My Sites

It is a fairly common scenario that people don't want anyone or some groups of people to create My Sites but it always suprises me how few people know the answer to. This can all be achieved through the SSP:

  1. Go to the relevant SSP
  2. Choose "Personalization services permissions"
  3. From here you can control permissions for different groups to "Create personal site"
  4. Users will not see the "My Site" link in the top right hand corner of the page if they don't have permissions to.

Hi Jenny

Don't suppose you know a way of preventing creation of sub-sites under their MySite?

Derek,

Something that might be of interest to you is from Todd Baginski's blog from a while back as to how to accomplish what you're looking for.

Dan,

Yes, tried that, and even had brief discussion with Todd but still can't get it to work correctly.  I was hoping that there was an "out of the box" option for this - with publishing site collections you can select which site templates are available for subsites....
