Changing Admin user in Alfresco 3.2 +...

...when you have no other administrator.

This is one of the ways to change Alfresco administrator, but there are another using groups.

Locate tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/alfresco-global.properties

Add this property:

alfresco_user_store.adminusername=admin

And replace admin identifier by other user identifier.

Reboot Alfresco and login with new "admin" user.

How to transform all docs to PDF/A-1 format in Alfresco

Look for alfresco\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\mimetype\openoffice-document-formats.xml file.

<document-format>
<name>Portable Document Format</name>
<mime-type>application/pdf</mime-type>
<file-extension>pdf</file-extension>
<export-filters>
<entry>
<family>Presentation</family>
<string>impress_pdf_Export</string>
</entry>
<entry>
<family>Spreadsheet</family>
<string>calc_pdf_Export</string>
</entry>
<entry>
<family>Text</family>
<string>writer_pdf_Export</string>
</entry>
</export-filters>
<!-- ADDED TO TRANSFORM TO PDF/A-1 -->
<export-options>
<entry>
<string>SelectPdfVersion</string>
<int>1</int>
</entry>
</export-options>
<!-- ADDED TO TRANSFORM TO PDF/A-1 -->
</document-format>


With this change, all transformation to PDF will be exported to format PDF/A-1.

How to enable full repository access on Alfresco Share

In a tomcat installation, edit tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/web-extension/share-config-custom.xml file.

Look for RepositoryLibrary condition:

<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="RepositoryLibrary" replace="true">
<!--
Whether the link to the Repository Library appears in the header component or not.
-->
<visible>false</visible>

<!--
Root nodeRef for top-level folder.
-->
<root-node>alfresco://company/home</root-node>

<!--
Whether the folder Tree component should enumerate child folders or not.
This is a relatively expensive operation, so should be set to "false" for Repositories with broad folder structures.
-->
<tree>
<evaluate-child-folders>false</evaluate-child-folders>
</tree>
</config>

And modify visibility to true:

<visible>true</visible>


This works on Alfresco Enterprise 3.2R and above.
