[SOLVED] Security over sub menu options was created by dedett
I have an installation of CB, I would like to secure access to menu options (Tab, Field, List, Plugin management, tools and configuration in the sub menu) to super administration users, so that manager & administrator level back-end users will only have access to user management. Unless there is another option I was planning on inserting a line of code to test the user for they access level (if statement). Can someone please tell me what program / line I should be inserting this test or let me know of other options.
Many thanks

CB uses Joomlas access level system to determine access. For instance only Administrators and Super Administrators should be able to use User Management in certain respects. Only way to achieve what you're wanting is to edit the core code which I can't help you with. You'd need to edit the core functions responsible for displaying the various locations and add code to check user access and redirect if they don't pass.

Inside this file you'll see the usage of checkCBpermissions, this checks a users permission against Joomlas. If you want to override this or customize it you're free to do so at your own risk. This would only affect editing a user for example. You'd need to explore all the controller files.
I am on the CB development team. We don't support core edits. An example of the location you'll need to check is as follows.Many thanks for your reply. Is there someone you could past the question to within the CB development team?

Many thanks for you time.
This has helped. In controller.dedault.php there are some case statements. I wraped an if statement around show[option] to allow super admin access or to redirect user to showuser with message.
