John's solution would be attractive for one portal only (i believe). But, i want to implement the solution in such a way that any newly created portal will have the admin menu that i choose for the administrators.  Doing John's solution for each portal is not practical as the portals are created dynamically by site users.

I am open to further clarification on this solution to see if it can implement once so that new portals are assigned the new admin menu

I tried TRTControlPanel.  It does NOT work with DNN 4.08.01.

I tried with 4.08.00 on a staging website where i play with and try different things. It worked. But, it is not complete. It does not show "Roles"

The module developer has not released new versions.

So, i am back to square one.  I am still looking for either a SQL script or a module that can allow me to restrict admin options for "administrators" role. The superuser will have to retain full access to everything as usual. I want to be able to remove some of the admin options and control panel options to new site owners.

I am sure there are experts in DNN among you.  PLEASE HELP.

Can you explain more on this? What are you trying to accomplish? I may be able to help.

I did not try this in 4.8.1 until seeing here you have a issue. What exactly is the issue for you? Nothing is jumping out to me in my 4.8.1 environment.

It would have been nice to get a heads up instead of reading it here. When I get time I will release a new version. I can't give any dates of when.
