stop users creating tables

[B21playa]

is there any way to stop users from editing tables and creating new tables without editing the files, and setting them in user roles?

Hi,

Yes, you can stop users from creating new tables in a new page by allowing
text editing and formatting only. This can be done by going to Administer
website dialog -> Editing option and then clicking the only allow text editing
and formatting radio button only. However, if there is any table in a page and
then the user with text editing permission can edit the contents of the table
but cannot add any more columns or rows in the table.

Hope this helps

As an alternative:

#content table
{
display:none!important;
}

From my experience that is correct. If you change the allowances to "only allow
text editing and formatting," users will not be able to add rown or colums to
existing tables in the document. I had to change my allowances to permit this,
and I am struggling with an easy way to make user created tables conform with
the formtting scheme we have for the tables in our site.
