Hello,

I wanted to tweak the admin menu. So no Site log, Vendors, Log Viewer. I made changes in the admin.template (Portals/_default/admin.template), but it had no effect. I tried 2 things:

1. Set visibility of the 3 items at False, not True and set Disabled on True:

   <visible>False</visible>
    <disabled>True</disabled>

 

2. Delete 3 tabs for example the Vendors-tab:

<tab>
   <name>Vendors</name>
   <title>Vendors</title>
   <description></description>
   <keywords></keywords>
   <visible>True</visible>
   <disabled>False</disabled>
   <iconfile>icon_vendors_16px.gif</iconfile>
   <parent>Admin</parent>
      <tabpermissions>
        <permission>
          <permissioncode>SYSTEM_TAB</permissioncode>
          <permissionkey>VIEW</permissionkey>
          <rolename>Administrators</rolename>
          <allowaccess>true</allowaccess>
        </permission>
      </tabpermissions>
   <panes>
  <pane>
    <name>ContentPane</name>
    <modules>
   <module>
     <title>Vendors</title>
     <definition>Vendors</definition>
     <alignment></alignment>
     <showtitle></showtitle>
     <alltabs></alltabs>
     <cachetime></cachetime>
     <iconfile>icon_vendors_32px.gif</iconfile>
     <inheritviewpermissions>true</inheritviewpermissions>
   </module>
    </modules>
  </pane>
   </panes>
 </tab>

 

Now I have 3 questions:

Do I follow the right procedures?
Is Portals/_default/ the right place to put the admin.template-file?
Is it possible to use more than one admin.template-files for different usergroups?\

The admin.template file is only used when creating new portals. I'd suggest you copy at the template and create a new one with the pages/controls you need. Set permissions on this so you can give access to non-admins. This way, you can control access however you want. You simply need to be aware of what access you're giving to who. For instance, anyone with access to the user accounts page can delete all users (except for host/superuser accounts).
