Prevent users from creatin workspaces on publish

[Kannan]

How can i prevent the users from getting the dialog box to provision a
workspace when a project is published to the server? We do not want the users
to create their workspaces. Any pointers for the same will be of great help.

As far as I know, you can either make the creation of workspaces automatic or manual. There is no way to 'prevent' the creation of workspaces by users. The people with permissions to publish a project should decide whether a project needs workspace.

Go to Server Settings> Project Workspace provisioning settings> change provisioning mode to manual.

You would have to pre-create a workspace for them to avoid them seeing this
workspace creation screen on their publish.

I was able to get this done. Server Settings --> Mange users --> Global
Permissions--> Manage Windows sharepoint services (Deny)

If there is no workspace attached to the project, the user will always see
the create workspace pop up screen each time they publish their schedule.
So what I'm saying is that the only way to avoid them seeing this pop up
screen is to create and attach the project to a dummy workspace even if you
don't intend for them to use workspaces.
