Menu connected with permissions

posts: 179 France

This is in fact a feature request, but it is so large that I thought it would be better here.

I would like more automatic connection between Admin features and displayed menu:

Some feature is switched on, it appears in menu. It is switched off, it disappears from menu. User never arrives on a "you don't have the rights" page.

Same for Permissions.

I think the first stage of Admin menu should in fact be hidden by and an automatic consequence of Admin features and Admin permissions.

Then the proper Admin menu page could become necessary only when customizing menu, like changing the name of a section.

I clearly see developers are going that way, but for the moment, each time I created a tiki site, I had to modify the menu in order to allow disallow my users access to certain features, although I had already stated that in the Admin permissions page.

I would have liked to have to Admin menu only for nice customizing, like changing names, making a new section, etc.

Hiya

Under 1.9 you can assign necessary permissions to the menu items already and also sections (wiki, forum, blogs) so that the link only appears in that section.

Speaking of 1.9.................... winkwink
