Downscaling Admin-Interface?

Jan Bengia	Tuesday 22 March 2005 5:36:44 am hi, I wonder if it is possible to create a simple, feature-less Admin-Interface for inexperienced users? Most features and areas with no access (role destriction) should be hidden from the user. Is there an easy way to do this with eZ Publish - or have we to write an entire new admin-fe? thank! Jan
Frederik Holljen	Tuesday 22 March 2005 6:12:40 am The ideal solution is to write configurable system for this for the existing administration interface, so you can turn things on and off for various user groups. However, this sounds simple but it is not in practice since speed and caching issues become a problem. What you could do, is to copy the existing admin interface into another design and siteaccess. Then strip out the parts you don't want your users to see. This should be relatively simple...
Jan Bengia	Wednesday 23 March 2005 3:59:32 am ok, thanks. I thought downscaling the adminFE was a common request ... but, hm. Will see what we can do. If someone has a similar request a contact would be nice ... :) vg Jan
