Issue/Introduction

There are a few options such as "Log out", "Download as DXP" etc., that may be enabled/disabled from the Web Player by updating their corresponding user interface tags to true/false in the Web Player configuration file (Spotfire.Dxp.Worker.Web.Config). However with respect to "Export" option, there is no option in the configuration file to enable/disable this.

Resolution

To enable/disable the Export menu item, we are required to assign the appropriate License to the desired group(s) as described below:

-Launch TIBCO Spotfire Analyst using administrator login.
-Open Administrator Manager. (Tools->Administrator Manager).
-Go to "Groups and License" tab select the "Everyone Group", click on "Edit".
-Expand the "TIBCO Spotfire Enterprise Player" option, uncheck the check box corresponding to "Export to PowerPoint","Export to PDF","Export to Image", "Export Data".
-Save the above changes.

Disabling the above license permission for that user group will disable the "Export" in the Web Player.

See the attached (Filename: LicenseToBeDisabled.PNG) for reference.
