Hi

I dont spose there is any way to restirct what the admin on your site can access for example i want to make the admin drop down menu have less options on it for example taking away the skins option.

Thanks

The only way I was able to do this was to create a child portal for that admin's section of the web site then assign them admin rights to only that child portal. As host you can then restrict what modules are allowed on the child site and I also restricted that admin's ability to upload skins so they are only able to load the ones available. Skins loaded through the host are available to the admin but skins loaded by the parent portal admin are not visible to the child portal admin thereby restricting the child admin further. This all hinges on weather or not creating a child portal works for your situation though.
