Dear all,

the editor users of my site are confused. They don't have the rights to use the admin interface modules of Design, Setup, Users - but they can still see the tabs. Whenever they click on those tab, they're shown a message saying they don't have the correct permission - and then they call me and ask about that.

Is there a way to configure which tabs users are shown, depending on which rights they've been given? I mean .. one that does not involve overriding the pagelayout template based on which group a user is in (as shown in http://ez.no/developer/forum/setup_design/admin_interface_for_custom_editors )? I think I've read somewhere that it's possible to configure through an ini which tabs a user group gets shown, but can't find it now.

Thanks in advance for your reply and best wishes,
Rainer

You can control in menu.ini of your administration siteaccess. My advice would be to copy existing administration siteaccess to another which will be used by your editors and set menu.ini without Design, Setup, Users.
