Appian 17.2 - Social Tasks

Question

Hello all. 
 Is it possible to prevent users from creating social tasks? Is there a way to disable this feature of Tempo?

I think that is challenging, the documenting states only about creating and no where mentioned about stop creating it with Security docs.appian.com/.../Tasks.html .

Also you can recommend Sites instead of Tempo if your business is achieved via Sites

Appian is being designed for collaboration and streamline business process flows. Social tasks are being created for the purpose of collaboration . Is there any use case for disabling the same ?

Seems like it may be best if you can convey to the client there is no need to remove the feature, and teach them how they can gain business value from it.

Aside from that, you could refactor how the users interact with Appian? You could create a task report that's included in a report. User training would be needed to re-direct folks to Reports to see their task list. Perhaps even use Sites to limit which tabs they see, so it's only your task report and appropriate records, but perhaps you are using Tempo News, so you wouldn't want to move to sites in that case.
