Hmm.. not quite sure what you mean.. the control panel is only visible to the host and admin accounts by default.

Of course, if you give someone permission to edit a page then they will also see the control panel, but they need to see it because they are editing the page. Note that certain buttons on the panel, such as the user and file manager links, will not function for the page editor because they aren't allowed to do those things.

Does that help or make any sense?

That's one of the main problems when implementing DNN... it just doesn't allow that. There needs to be a level of permissions inbetween page editor and module editor. New page creation rights should not be tied to module creation rights. I can tell you this has been brought up endless times in the 3 years I've been hanging out around here... even to the point where adding it as a feature request gets it removed from Gemini. I expect it's somewhere on the roadmap.

There are some hacks and workarounds around the place... there's a replacement control panel that lets you remove functionality. That is a workable solution, but means that you risk getting stuck at the next upgrade cycle.
