Hide "Publishing Related Items" from the Publishing Wizard

There are cases where you may need to hide "publishing related items" for specific roles and also for everyone from publishing wizard.

Solution:

Option 1: To hide "Publishing related items" for a specific set of roles then follow below process.

To grant specific access rights to a user or role, you need to modify the permissions in the Core database. Here are the elements you need to adjust:

• /sitecore/client/Applications/Publishing/Common/System/CheckBoxLists/PublishingOptions/Publish sub items
• /sitecore/client/Applications/Publishing/Common/System/CheckBoxLists/PublishingOptions/Publish related items

You can use the Security Editor to modify Read and Write permissions of these items based on role. This way we can restrict the access of these check box based on the user role as shown below.

Option 2: To hide "Publishing related items" for everyone then follow below process.

Please navigate to following site root path -

 "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\<Website root>\sitecore\shell\Applications\Dialogs\Publish" and find the "Publish.xml".

Open this file and locate "PublishingRelatedItems" checkbox node and add "Visible=false" property to the node.

This change will hide the "Publishing related Items" from the publishing wizard as shown below.
