Martijn Geerts Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Sometimes I wish to visually hide certain aspects of the admin when the logged-in user is not super user. When <body class='the-current-user-role'> is added, it's easy to just "display: none" for some elements you want to hide.
ryan Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 This would be pretty easy to add to any admin theme: <body class="<?php foreach($user->roles as $role) echo "role_" . $role->name . " "; ?>"> But whether it's advisable is another question. If you don't want the user to have access to something, it's best that the logic of the page knows not to even display or accept input to it. Otherwise it's a potential security hole. Though for non-security related display adjustments, it seems like a fine way to go.
Martijn Geerts Posted January 9, 2013 Author Posted January 9, 2013 For me it's just to the form-builder and custom settings pages that I want to hide just for normal editors. The Way you describe it now is the way I do it now. The problem with me is that I update to often & sometimes forget or just overwrite previously set things I changed.

ryan Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 I'm happy to add this to the default admin theme too. 5
Robin S Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 Don't think this made it into the default admin theme, so +1 for this. 1
