[Adam Marshall]

Well I didn’t know that (not surprising since we’re on 2.8).
Sorry for misinfo

If you're on 2.9 or 10, there are specific site add permissions for the ootb site types. site.add.project, site.add.course, site.add.portfolio. You'd just create a !user.template.<type>and give only give them the specific permission you want. I believe that site.add gives them everything.

In your case there is already a !user.template.guest which only has permission to site.add.usersite (which allows them to create their my workspace), so you'd just add site.add.project permission to this realm.

If you went and modified your system to actually add types other than project/course, there is no specific protection for that and you'd have to do a little code modification like in
https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/KNL-952

Hi,

I'll jump on this thread and ask a related question.

How can we specify the type of site allowed to create by this user?

Let me explain, we have different type of sites. We want to only allow project site to be created by guest users, not the course site.

Can we do this?

Yours,

I think the role needs to have a template (in Realms) and that role must have site.add permission.

How do I enable a user of type 'lecturer' to be able to create a new site (course or project)? I have created a local user with type 'lecturer', but when I log in as that user I cannot create a new course or project site.
