Globally disable Activity Feed Notifications for all users

Jump to solution

Hello,

We run Alfresco v7.0.0 using docker deployment (from https://www.npmjs.com/package/generator-alfresco-docker-installer).

Recently we also connected alfresco with our smtp server, and since then we automatically started receiving notification emails:
1) Once per day we receive a "Recent activities" mail that includes all activities that took place at sites we're members of.
2) Email notifications each time we are being added to a new site.

We are currently looking for a way to stop receiving such emails, ideally through the UI, and without having to update our docker-compose.yml. Is there a way we can achieve this globally for all users?

At the moment while being logged in as Administrator we found that there is an option to disable Activity Feeds under: Sites --> My Sites --> Disable Activity Feeds. For example:

alf.png

 

However our impression is that this will only be applied to the Administrator's account. Is this correct?
In addition, if there is no way to globally disable Recent activity emails for all users through the UI, how should we update our docker-compose.yml?

Thank you in advance.

You will find additional details on feeds in

https://github.com/Alfresco/alfresco-community-repo/blob/master/repository/src/main/resources/alfres...

You may disable just only "notifier" (emails) by setting

activities.feed.notifier.enabled=false

There is no option from the UI, but you can add following environment variables to you alfresco service in docker-compose.yml

activities.feed.notifier.enabled=false
activities.feed.cleaner.enabled=false
activities.feed.generator.enabled=false
activities.post.cleaner.enabled=false
activities.post.lookup.enabled=false
activities.feed.notifier.enabled=false

Hello angelborroy,

Thanks for the fast reply.

I will try adding these env variables then. Just one more question.
Do all of these need to be set as false to deactivate the emails?

For example, can we set these 2 variables to true in order to keep viewing recent activities under the "My Activities" tab of Alfresco Share Dashboard, or will that cause the emails to be sent as well? :
- activities.feed.cleaner.enabled
- activities.feed.generator.enabled
