Hide Admin backend Menu to few admin users

[sumanguj]

I've seen a lot of demo which hides every menu item. How do i achieve that?

I believe i can create a different user group and give them admin access but i don't know how to hide the menu item

could someone give step by step instructions?

You first need to define what these few admin users are allowed to do and then you need to set access rights for them. Without knowing exactly what you want them to do then it is impossible to do what you want to do.

So do you know what they are allowed to do?

For example:

I have Jomsocial component Installed and i want to disable everything else except this component, what do i do? Would be great if you could give a step by step instruction.

OK let me try step by step:

1) Go to Users >> Groups >> Add New Group

Type JomSocial and also select by of Registred group



2) Now Go back to Users >> Access Levels >> Add New Access Level

Add the details as shown in this picture.



Is this going to work. Try it and let me know.

As an alternative:
- Create group JSocial under public and make user member of that group.
- Edit Access Level Special to include JSocial
- Global Configuration->Permissions->JSocial set allow for Admin,Site login.Create,Edit state,dit own
- JomSocial ->Permissions-JSocial set allow for Access Administration Interface,Create.Edit State

Login at backend and click Components->JomSocial. It should be the only option available

Used Tags component instead of JomSocial in my environment. Permissions for JomSocial could be different or non-existing. Create config.xml for JomSocial if there are no permissions.

Thank You but this doesn't look complete
