This applies to: 2.5.x and some of 2.0.x, 1.10.x
High-Level Summary: It's possible to remove certain features or content from Clearspace using just system properties.
You can't have too much of a good thing -- usually. Administrators transitioning from Forums to Clearspace or just want to slowly introduce features to their users can make use of these handy-dandy system properties:
| Content/Feature Type | System Property | Value (to remove it) |
|---|---|---|
| Documents | jive.module.wiki.enabled | false |
| Discussions | jive.module.forums.enabled | false |
| Blogs | jive.module.blogs.enabled | false |
| Video (3.0.x only) | jive.module.video.enabled | false |
| Projects (2.0.x and 2.5.x only) | jive.feature.projects.disabled | true |
| Social Groups (2.5.x only) | jive.feature.groups.disabled | true |
| External Bookmarks (3.0.x only) | favoriting.external.enabled | false |
| Bookmarks (3.0.x only) | favoriting.enabled | false (affects all bookmarks) |
So if I just wasn't feeling groups and I didn't want any social butterflies under my watch, I'd add this system property in the Admin Console (System -> Management -> System Properties):

Hi,
I have tried jive.feature.groups.disabled in 3.0(.03) and it seems to work properly. I guess you should update the table above.
Furthermore, is it possible to do something similar with TAGS? Something like jive.feature.tags.disabled = true.

I guess this is useful for where space administration is distributed and global policies apply i.e. it is possible to configure a space not to support blogs. I assume these are global switches - what's the impact on the space administration - would blogs removed/greyed-out as an option in the set-up wizard? or are these properties master overrides?
