Issue
We have set the following settings in portal-ext.properties, but when a user is created, an entry is also created in the group_ table that has the username as the friendly-url.
layout.user.public.layouts.enabled=false
layout.user.public.layouts.auto.create=false
layout.user.private.layouts.enabled=false
layout.user.private.layouts.auto.create=false
Environment
- Liferay Portal 6.0+
- Liferay DXP 7.0+
Resolution
The creation of group (=site) for users is intentional and cannot be disabled: there is always a group associated with a given user. What the mentioned properties control is the creation of public/private pages (=layouts), not the creation of groups. You may find more information on personal sites here: Customizing Personal Sites.
