Build: 14.0.6123.5000
Servers: 1 wfe, 2 app, 2 clustered sql
OS: Win 2k8 R2
I have a farm that lives outside the firewall that external users connect to. There is a business requirement to not allow users to upload documentation to anywhere but specified libraries that they are given access to. This includes MySites. However we want to pull user information from AD so that we get user information in places like Created By fields that looks more informational than just a random user ID.
I have created a user profile synch connection, mapped attributes, unchecked all permissions under "manage user permissions" for user profile service app and under Setup Mysites, Enable newsfeed on My Sites is unchecked.
So after running a full profile sync, when a user logs into the site, they click their name on the top right, and click "My Settings" Now when they click their name at the bottom of the page, it opens up their MySite with full access to upload content and access other users content along with view newsfeeds and pretty much all access that you would expect in a normal mysite. What is going on here? Am i missing something?

Hi,
The sites that are created by the user are site collections. In central administration you will find those site collections and there you also are able to delete them. For example /personal/stfbauer if my user name is stfbauer.
Additionally you need to remove the home page property from the users.
Kind regards

The site you see when you click on their profile is under the MySite Web App, however they should not have access to the "My Content" portion of the MySite (this is the actual site collection where the user's data can reside).

It looks like the My Content link at the top has been hidden.
It currently shows:
My Site | My Newsfeed(shouldnt show this at all because the setting is unchecked) | My Profile [Find People]
under the user profile picture it says:
Overview | Organization | Content | Tags and Notes | Colleagues | Memberships
When you click Content, you can go to the personal and shared document libraries and upload files.

Content is the section where your personal site collection aka My Site is created. If you don't like user to create their own personal site collection you simple need to remove the permission in the user profile service application.
In the section People you will find the option Manage User Permissions. You can the remove the mark from the "create personal site" which disable the content link as long as a user haven't created a personal site.
Kind regards

as long as a user haven't created a personal site.
This looks like the key right here. I noticed that if i went into Manage User Profiles and delete my test profile account, when i access the site, those content libraries dissapear. So basically if a user already has a personal site, they will still have access to content sharing. How can i delete all currently existing personal sites to make sure users dont have access to this?
