Hi there,

I hope that someone might be able to help please...

I'd like to add another admin to my board, but wish to hide the 'Home Tab' from her. (I'd just like her to see/manage user accounts but not have access to anything else)

As it stands, the primary admin account has the ability to limit other admins' access to all the Admin CP tabs except the 'Home Tab'.

The Home Tab contains information I'd rather not share with anyone - PHP version, SQL engine, Administrator notes etc etc...

Would it be at all possible to please block access to this Admin CP tab? Either by modifying something in the Admin CP, modifying an Admin folder file, through a database rule, a plugin...etc etc.

Or alternatively, only allow her to manage user accounts, change passwords etc, without even needing the Admin CP.

Thank you!!
Go to User & Groups > Admin Permissions > Click the Option Icon next to the user you want to edit. Change her permissions to what you want.

Good Luck!

Good Luck!

The response is appreciated MonkeySpanker, but that's not actually what I asked for Smile I'm aware of the admin permissions page but unfortunately, there is NO option there to disable the 'Home' tab - only all the other tabs - hence me turning to the forums...

Thank you for your response anyway though - perhaps it'll help someone else who browses this thread Smile

Then I am not sure of another possible effective way to block access to the Dashboard. I suggest to try and suggest it as a new feature in MyBB 2.0. 
Good Luck, again!
I[ll make a submission, but if there's anyone else who might be able to help for now - would be a huge help please!

Thanks!
Bump - if anyone else is able to help please....
