Remove Items From Admin Menu Based On User Group Id

General General Questions

I have attached a pic of my administration menu bars. I need to remove the marked items from the menu based on user group id. I have 5 different user groups, but only need one to be restricted from viewing these items.

So if you disable all permissions for the user group, these menu items are still displayed?

The only permission this user group has is to create an order. So I disabled everything else and the result is the image that I attached.

In this case, it is a bug. Try to contact support team with this issue or post it to the bug tracker

I was able to do it, but had to change the template file: menu.tpl

I check for the user group id:

{assign var="display_menu" value="1"}

{if 22|in_array:$auth.usergroup_ids}

{assign var=“display_menu” value=“0”}

{/if}

Then having the $display_menu variable set, I can turn off menu items. In this example, I check if the home button should be displayed. In my case, if the group id is equal to 22, then it will not display it.

{if $display_menu == 1}
    • {/if}

    I hope this helps someone else facing the same issue. I'm not sure if this is good practice or if there is a better way to do it, but at least it works.

    Hi there,

    I am wanting to do something similar.

    I notice that if you create a new administrator, it automatically assigns it to "Admin - root" & "Admin - orders" ... Is there a way to stop this? I just want it assigned to my custom user group...

    Thanks...
