How do I go about removing the task bar icon (hourglass) for a user that gets displayed on the accounts page when I create or edit a user? I do not want this icon to appear at all.

Go to the lighthouse debug pages, via the browser.

List objects of type: Configuration.

Edit the UserUIConfig object.

About 3/4 of the way down the page, you will find a section like this:

    <TaskBarPages>

      <List>

        <String>account/list.jsp</String>

        <String>account/find.jsp</String>

        <String>account/dofindexisting.jsp</String>

        <String>account/modify.jsp</String>

        <String>account/resourceReprovision.jsp</String>

        <String>task/newresults.jsp</String>

        <String>home/index.jsp</String>

      </List>

    </TaskBarPages>

Just remove the jsp page listings that you don't want these icons displayed on.

Note: Any changes made to the UserUIConfig object requires an application server restart.
