Remove User Updates from Sync
I'm running an application that has 14 sites on 3 different servers; a staging, failover, and production. The user profiles that we have are only for modifying content in staging, and do not require updating the info onto the failover or production.

Each time that a user from one site logs in, their information is updated, and a user from another site can see them in the sync list. This is confusing many people who are using different sites.

Is there a way to remove updating user profiles from the staging service? I have not found an option for it in the Site Manager.

Hi Beau,

Unfortunately there is no simple setting in Site Manager which would enable you to exclude user detail updates from being synchronized through Content staging module.

However, there is a way to handle it in code behind using ObjectEvents.LogChange handler for this purpose. Please check the following blog post which describes how you can do it - How to: Affect Logging of Staging Tasks.

Best regards,
Filip Ligac

Interesting article, however, the CMS that my client is using at this time is v6. I don't suppose that there is anything similar in that version, now is there?

Hi Beau,

Unfortunately not. Support for handling staging task logging has been introduced in version 7 so there are no API handlers for that in v6. Sorry about a little confusion, I overlooked that the forum section and your project version is 6. So I am afraid the only option for your client is to upgrade to v7 if this is a must-have feature for you.

Best regards,
