Is there a way to create a role that gives all functionality of an Administrator EXCEPT letting the user into the control panel?
Is there a way to create a role that gives all functionality of an Administrator EXCEPT letting the user into the control panel?
No. Panels and admin area are not role based they are permission based not role, so as you give certain permissions you get the ability to perform those actions. What is the purpose of such a role if not to perform administrative tasks?
We have a few power users that should have access to all groups and be able to edit all groups, but I don't want them in the widgets, plugins, etc
The best approach is going to be creating a plugin that adds them as owners or a manipulating permissions for a new role
