How do I restrict Lead Creation

[gsolis]

I want to stop any users from creating new leads in Sugar besides our Sugar admin.

How do I allow my salespeople to view and edit the leads, but not create new ones?

You can't in standard Sugar ... edit permissions and create permissions are the same - if you are allowed to edit a record, you can also create a record

It would require a little custom coding, but you could remove the "Create Lead" from the Leads Shortcut menu

Hi,
More complicated way to use Logic Hooks. But it should give fine adjustment.

You just need to create a custom controller for Leads, implement the method action_editview containing something like that:

 function action_editview() {
  $this->view = 'edit';
 
  if(empty($this->bean->id)) {
    global $current_user;
 
    if(! is_admin($current_user)) {
      $this->view = 'noaccess';
    }
  }
} 
  

Cheers
