Collaboration Room Task - Remove New Task button

Question

Hi,
We have My Task iView on all our home pages which are available to internal and external users. We do not want to give "New Task" button for external users. Is there any way to hide New Task button based on Users or Roles, or remove New Task button from the My Task iView. Please let me know if you know any other solution.
Thanks
Som

Removing Actions From the UWL Display
There are a couple of ways to remove actions. 
·        You can customize the Views and ItemType (which can remove the actions from all UWL pages, Collaboration, My Task, and so on)
·        You can modify the iView and add the name of the actions under the Action to exclude from the UWL property.
See the list below for some of the common action names.
Note: For other actions not listed here, see the custom properties XML files.
in the list below you will see the "Display Text" for the action followed by the "Action Name"

- this action is for multiple user selection.
Note:
If excluding more than one actions, the action names must be comma separated.
Note:
Do not add ALL of the above listed action names to Actions to Exclude iView property. Be selective in what actions you want to remove. To determine the action name you want to remove, you can turn on the support information page (see below) and a list of support action will be displayed per item displayed.
Example
Suppose you do not want the Personalize View function on the UWL view. You can remove it by adding personalize to the iView property List of UWL Actions to Exclude.
Turning on the Support Information Section
From the UWL iView configuration, select Yes for the parameter Display UWL Support Information.
