Hide EXTERNALS group to end users

Original Question or Issue:

Users can share to groups and choose EXTERNALS so that all external accounts receive an invitation email. We want to disable that.

Environment:

Steps to Reproduce:

FileCloud version 23.253 and above.

Error or Log Message:

Defect or Enhancement Number:

Cause:

New group named EXTERNALS.

Resolution or Workaround:

You can disable sharing for all groups from the Admin Portal > Settings > Misc > Share > Disable private sharing to groups.

An alternative approach is to deny sharing with the EXTERNALS group using DLP feature:

Rule Name: denyExternalsGroup
Affected User Actions: SHARE
Rule Expression: ('EXTERNALS' in _share.allowedGroups)
DLP Action: DENY
DLP Mode: ENFORCE
