Hi Guys,
I have developed a site using the dotnetnuke 4.3 version. Now i want to hide some of tabs under Admin(solpart menu) e.g. I want that my admin can only use the “user Account” option under admin.All other options should be invisible to him. One way that i have done to resolve this issue is that I have set "IsVisible" to 0  in the tabs table manually.Is there any other approach to solve this problem. I really appreciate if somebody do some comment over it. Thank in advance.

You can modify the admin.template file in the portals/_default directory to alter how the admin menu is constructed for NEW portals.

For existing portals, I suggest changing the parentid field of the target admin tabs so that they point to the HOST tab, instead of the ADMIN tab. You will thus have the ability as a host to access these functions, while admins will not. Duplicate entries should be deleted from the admin tab collection. Because tabs are cached, you will need to recycle the asp.net process before you will see the changes.

This will need to be done directly in the database (and on the filesystem, with respect to hte admin.template file). Make a backup before you begin, and move carefuly. Proceed at your own risk :)

This error probably means exactly what it says -- an item is being added to the host menu hashtable that is already present. Check your host menu for duplicate entries (the file manager, for example, exists on both menus. So does Localization.). You can execute the following query to view your host menu: select * from [tabs] where parentid = . Find the host tabid by executing select * from [tabs] where tabname = 'Host'.

Remove the duplicate entries here and I think you'll be okay. If that doesn't work, restore your system to a known okay state, and move them over one by one. If THAT doesn't work, put a breakpoint at SolPartMenu.ascx.vb on lines 883 and 873, see what key is being duplicated, and take steps to prevent the occurance.

Remember, this is undocumented and unsupported territory. Proceed at your own risk.
