Hello!
Context
Since XWIKI-16.10.0RC1, the login and Register buttons have been moved from the top of the drawer to the top navbar.
As mentionned in the release notes, for instances that are for the most part readonly, this could be seen as a regression. Currently the best way to remove the Login button from the UI is to update the Interface Extension and remove the button directly from the template.
Main topic
Should we provide a configuration parameter to the administrator to disable this Login button easily (understand without editing a velocity template on an object of a hidden page)?
Opinion
IMO the administrators of such instances were probably already hiding the drawer or at least part of the drawer using a very similar method. We did not consider adding a configuration option for those use cases, so I doubt we need to provide one here (no need from the users).
If we start getting questions about how to do this on the forum or we have a lot of traffic on the FAQ, I reckon we should add an option, but I wouldn’t add one without a confirmation.
I’m looking forward to your opinion on the subject!
