I’m a developer that is using DNN as the CMS for a not very web savvy site owner.

So to keep it simple for them, I need to simplify the admin interface to strip out all the extraneous DNN functionality that they will not use - they just need to be able to edit text / html content, add pages and use the custom module controls that I have built.

Specifically I a new login for the site owner that will allow them access to the functionality in the DNN top bar but hide the admin menu item – any suggestions on how this can be done ?

thanks

thanks for the reply leupold.

That works great to render the 'common tasks' greyed out, perfect - thanks.

however the module list contains all the custom modules that i have written as well as all the DNn default modules.

I'd like to customise the module / content pane functions in the DNN banner to either

1/ display only the text/html module available as available to Authors

or

2/ totally disable the module / contentpane functionality to Authors.

Ultimately i want the Authors l to have full edit control for the modules that i have pre-populated, with no scope for them to add modules and thus risk cocking something up !
