Hiding link to UserDisp.aspx

Hi,

 

For example in list views, the column "created user" has by default a link to the UserDisp.aspx (mysites).

Is there a possibility to turn it off (so removing the link) on all sites, by only showing the username, without a link?

 

thx

    Assuming that your SharePoint version is SharePoint 2013 (On Premise).

     

    I dont think it is possible to switch off this capability at tenant or farm level. However you can manage this at individual list view level.

     

    If it is a modern page then you can simply format the column(ref image below) and add below mentioned JSON under the formatter window.

     

    Add this JSON under formatter pane and save it.

    {
    "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/column-formatting.schema.json",
    "elmType": "div",
    "txtContent": "@currentField.title"
    } 

     

    If it is a classic page then you may have to create a calculated column and refer the "created by" column in this calculated column and then display this new calculated column through the view instead of "created by" column
