HOW TO: Completely remove the Workflow menu from the Active Roles Web Interface (Tree tab only) (4336638)

For administration purposes, it may be necessary to completely remove the Workflow, AD LDS, and/or Azure Configuration options from the Active Roles Web Interface (Tree tab only).

The 'Views' tab, unfortunately, is not currently customizable. 

WORKAROUND

1. Launch Active Roles Console and ensure that Raw Mode is selected (View | Mode |Raw Mode)
2. Navigate to Configuration | Application Configuration | Web Interface
3. Find the container that represents the desired WI configuration. The Description column will match the Web Interface configuration name shown in the Active Roles Configuration Center
4. Expand the desired configuration and go to Interface Settings, then open the Advanced properties of the Working Copy object
5. Find the attribute named edsaWISettings, copy and paste its content to a text editor (i.e Notepad)
6. Locate the following section:

  <RootTreeNodes>

    <Node>CN=Active Directory</Node>

    <Node>CN=AD LDS (ADAM)</Node>

    <Node>CN=Managed Units,CN=Configuration</Node>

    <Node>CN=Workflow,CN=Policies,CN=Configuration</Node>

    <Node>CN=Azure Configuration</Node>

  </RootTreeNodes>

7. Here it is possible to remove the desired nodes. This change will be hard-coded into the Web Interface, and no account, even Active Roles Admins, will be able see anything other that what is listed here.
8. Copy the edited content back to the edsaWISettings attribute 
9. Once completed save the value and launch the Active Roles Web Interface as an Active Roles Admin. Go to Customization | Reload to post the changes.
