Hide/Disable Post button in Portal

[ican]

I would like to disable/hide "Post" button in Portal Form Activity logs:

Also make the text field read-only as well without touching the ACL.

Is this possible?

Thanks.

1.Possible in Service Portal, and you can do it without touching ACLs, but not via UI Policies. It requires widget-level customization.

2.Don't modify OOTB widgets directly.

Go to Service Portal → Widgets

Find: Activity Stream

Clone it

3.Widget Server Script

data.readOnly = true;

Or conditionally:

data.readOnly = !gs.hasRole('itil');

4.Widget HTML

<textarea ng-disabled="data.readOnly"></textarea>

<button class="btn btn-primary"
ng-disabled="data.readOnly">
Post
</button>

When i clone the Activity Stream widget, how do i point the Form widget to the Activity Stream cloned widget instead of the OOB one?

Thanks
