Analysis for Office version 2.8

I have tried following the steps provided in the User Guide on page no. 241 and 242 to default a custom profile without allowing the users to change. I have attached the screenshots from the user guide that I followed. The syntax that I used is as follows.

<!--default of 'AppBuilderDefaultProfilePath': value="C:\Users\Kumar\AppData\Roaming\SAP\Cof\User Interface\End User Profile" -->

<AppBuilderDefaultProfilePath /> <!--default of 'AppBuilderExcelDefaultCompanyProfilePath': value="C:\Users\Kumar\AppData\Roaming\SAP\Cof\User Interface\End User Profile" -->

<AppBuilderExcelDefaultCompanyProfilePath /> <!--default of 'AppBuilderPptDefaultCompanyProfilePath': value="C:\Users\Kumar\AppData\Roaming\SAP\Cof\User Interface\End User Profile" -->

Also did the below to not let end user change or customize the profile:

I changed the below from True to False

<AppBuilderWrdDefaultProfilePath /> <!--default of 'CanCustomizeUserInterface': value="False" -->

But had no luck with this. Could anyone please help in telling what I'm missing here?

Thanks for your time in advance!

Hi Mithun,
What I observed in your given information you add value in the default commented line.
i.e <! ...> this indicates this information in commented in XML syntax.
Try to change your value as shown below example.

<!--default of 'AppBuilderDefaultProfilePath': value="" --> // this is default line which is commented
<AppBuilderDefaultProfilePath value="your_path"/> // here give your values.

Once the AO configuration files are updated.
Open AO with run as admin
From the Technical configuration browser, we can cross-check updated configuration information taken by AO or not

Thanks & Regards,
Shiva

Hi Shiva,

Thanks for reaching out. We did realize that and did removed the !-- and after looking at your script I even removed the ' '. So the script looks like this

<AppBuilderDefaultProfilePath value="C:\Users\Kumar\AppData\Roaming\SAP\Cof\User Interface\End User Profile.xml" />

<!--default of 'AppBuilderExcelDefaultCompanyProfilePath': value="" -->

<AppBuilderExcelDefaultCompanyProfilePath value="C:\Users\Kumar\AppData\Roaming\SAP\Cof\User Interface\End User Profile.xml"/>

<AppBuilderPptDefaultCompanyProfilePath value="C:\Users\Kumar\AppData\Roaming\SAP\Cof\User Interface\End User Profile.xml"/>

and

<CanCustomizeUserInterface: value="False" />

and opened the application with "Run as Administrator". Unfortunately no luck. I can still see the Standard profile and I'm able to create new profile and can default a different profile as well.

Thanks again for your time!
