Disable some Links in Administration Page

[Softbless]

Hi Guys,

In our system, we plan to have several 3 different type of Admin.

Each admin could access different links in Administrator Page.

Let's say :
# Admin Type 1 could only access to this link: System Setting, Admin and Email Setting
# Admin Type 2 could only access to this link : user management, role management, and password management.
# Admin type 3 could access every link in administration page.

Have anyone else done this thing before? Could you give some hints how to do this?

Any help would be very appreciated

Hi,

actually its very easy.
All you need to do is copy the index.php from you modules/Administration/index.php
into
custom/modules/Admnistration/index.php

now use this index.php in the custom to do the modification.

user $current_user->id; to set which panels this user (admin type) can see and which dont.

In this file you will see clearly commented section for each of the panel.
You will get the user details using the $current_user;

use print_r($current_user); and check which field you wanna compare on.
i used the $current_user->id;

and do this

  
if ($current_user->id != 1)
{
    //users and security.
    $admin_option_defs=array();
    $admin_option_defs['Administration']['user_management']= array($image_path . 'Users','LBL_MANAGE_USERS_TITLE','LBL_MANAGE_USERS','./index.php?module=Users&action=index');
    $admin_option_defs['Administration']['roles_management']= array($image_path . 'Roles','LBL_MANAGE_ROLES_TITLE','LBL_MANAGE_ROLES','./index.php?module=ACLRoles&action=index');
 
 
 
    $admin_group_header[]= array('LBL_USERS_TITLE','',false,$admin_option_defs, 'LBL_USERS_DESC');
} 
  

this will show this panel for all users except the user with id = 1....


Hope it is helpful !!!

If I've already installed a custom module like Dev Tools, that has an entry in custom/modules/Administration/index.php, what is the correct way to add this kind of additional information?

I'm semi-literate in PHP so I don't need a full walkthrough, just some advice or maybe a link to relevant documentation. Thanks!

Hi,

can you be a lil more clear on what you want?
Do you wanna remove the link for your custom module or some else?

I may be going about this from the wrong direction. I need to give users limited access to Administration. For example, a user should be able to access the Email section, the Sugar Feed Settings link, and my own custom Administration sections, but no access to the Developer Tools or Bug Tracker sections.

When I use the solution above without restricting by user ID, it adds an extra section to Admin for users and roles (for those who have a user type of System Administrator), but it doesn't remove all of the other stuff, or even the second instance of that section. When I log in with a user type of Regular User, I don't get access to the Administration section at all, even the extra section added using your solution.

Any advice would be very helpful!

Hi,

About the admin link. The link is only available to users with admin rights.
You need to provide the normal users some admin right to have this link available.

User and Role section in my last code we were hiding the section for admin.


The code i provided for hiding the section was just an example
In that we just removing a panel if the user is admin ifs present by default.

use this code:-

 global $current_user;
 
if(is_admin($current_user))
{
} 
  

This code will provide that section of links to only the admin.
In my last code we were looking with user->id = 1;



Hope it is helpfull !!!

Perhaps your code is for Sugar 6 and I am looking at Sugar 5? Here is a screenshot of what happens when I use that code: http://ScrnSht.com/aimcpx. Instead of removing everything except the links I have defined, it duplicates them at the beginning of the Administration section. The file I have modified is custom\modules\Administration\index.php.

Hi,

Thats because i think you have copied the whole code as it is.
Just copy the condition if loop
not the code inside it.

index.php file you will find each section displayed in admin link marked with a comment.

just put the

 global $current_user;

if(!is_admin($current_user)) 
{
//system.

[B]system links will be here[/B]

}
//email manager. 
  

It will hide it for the admin. The System links
