Steps:

Steps to disable external content widget:

1) On the dashboard screen of the application, the administrator can see the viewlet ID in the widget catalog (Add Widget button on a dashboard) for external content viewlet ID is com.ibm.team.dashboard.viewlets.web.external

2) There is an advanced property, Disabled Widgets. This exists for each application (/jts/admin) that is accessible to the administrator. This is a comma-separated list of viewlet IDs so in order to disable external content administrator will have to add viewlet ID in this field. Note: The viewlet ID must be listed in the advanced property for the application that owns the viewlet here it is JTS.

3) If a viewlet ID is in the advanced property, it will no longer be listed in the Add Widget interface for all users.

4) If a viewlet ID is in the advanced property, any pre-existing instances of the viewlet in dashboards will show the message "This widget has been disabled by the administrator".
