RE: ORD/CONNECT Workset creation?

There is a lot to unravel here. Let's start with the easy part.

To restrict standard users from creating WorkSpaces and WorkSets set this variable.

MS_CONFIGURATIONOPTS = DisallowCreatingWorkSpace;DisallowCreatingWorkSet

Then have your Admins set this...

#CAD Admins
#add the following line to your personal.ucf file - remove the leading # character
#%undef MS_CONFIGURATIONOPTS

(Note: This does not work in MSCE U17, or ORD 2022 R1 - there is a defect filed for it)

Using a template WorkSet is the easiest way to create a new WorkSet. The your template WorkSet folder could be empty.

If you want to do something custom through a VBA you will need to set the _USTN_WORKSETDGNWSTEMPLATE variable to your template dgnws file. You have to let ORD create this from a template, there is no way to create a new one manually on your own. It's also good to have this set in the event that a dgnws becomes corrupted. You just delete the corrupted dgnws, and ORD will create a new one from the template next time you open the WorkSet.

So a custom WorkSet creation VBA would just have to copy in a template .cfg and rename it.

Once you have a workset set up you can use it as a template to create new ones.

Although not sure how you would control the mapping for the extra folders/files existing outside the workset since it doesn't sound like there is a standard setup for these.
