I apoligize if this has been covered before, I tried to find the answer in the mailing list archives - but was unable.
I was just wondering if there was a way through permissions / acls / etc to stop regular users from seeing the “Configuration” link at the top of the home page / search page, or if you have to manually hide that? I’m pretty confident I haven’t done anything to strange to my RT installation yet, as it’s pretty fresh - but haven’t been able to find a method to hide it.
You may not want to, and I don’t think you can. They need to be able to get
in there to change their passwords.

yea you can. comment out the link in $RT/Elements/Tabs and tell your “admin type people” to just go directly to yourdomain.com steht zum Verkauf - Sedo GmbH in order to make changes.
I also didnt like the idea of flaunting things that people didnt have access to modify anyway…

If you want to give them the ability to do so, can`t you simply give them the rights and let them use the “preferences” link in $RT/Elements/Header?

I see your point, but when under the users tab it lists all of the other users listed, which could leave the system open to a brute force on the administrators (or anyone else’s, for that matter) password. It would make more sense for there to be a completely separate Configuration link used for users that don’t have access to change queues / users / etc.
These menu’s seem to give regular users to data and information that I would definitely deem to be private, and, if nothing else, just don’t think its suitable for users on my system to see it.
Anyone know of a method to do this?

One other way is to add some logic to $RT/Elements/Tabs. I added this to our install,
my $toptabs;
if ($session{‘CurrentUser’}->Name eq ‘root’){
$toptabs = {
A => { title => ‘Home’,
path => ‘’,
},
B => { title => ‘Search’,
path => ‘Search/Listing.html’
},
D => { title => 'Configuration',
path => 'Admin/'
}
};
} else {
$toptabs = {
A => { title => ‘Home’,
path => ‘’,
},
B => { title => ‘Search’,
path => ‘Search/Listing.html’
}
};
}
This will hide the link from all users unless you are root. I’m not the best perl guru so if there are errors…let me know.
I’d like to add a @admins array to this ie @admins = qw( root user_1 user_2 etc…) so that I can give superuser rights to a user
and add there login to the list any ideas?

One way to do what you want would be to replace your if clause with this
one:
if ($session{‘CurrentUser’}->HasSystemRight({ Right => ‘SuperUser’ })){
That will give everyone who has the “SuperUser” right a Configuration tab,
and no one else.

our install,
my $toptabs;
if ($session{‘CurrentUser’}->Name eq ‘root’){
$toptabs = {
You could also test against the user’s rights:
if ($session{‘CurrentUser’}->HasSystemRight(‘AdminUsers’))
Then Your Admin users can have non standard names.
