Blocking certain dashboard pages
Permalink
With the simple permissions model, you can actually hide certain pages within the dashboard (so they don't show up in the left sidebar) by simply going through the sitemap and unchecking "View" for the user group in question.
How can you do this with the advanced permissions model?
I've setting the Home permissions for that user group to only "Read" and then manually setting the dashboard pages' permissions so that user group can't do anything (including "Read"), but it still shows up in the sidebar.

Thanks, Adreco. I've already tried what you suggested. Even when I manually set the permissions on the main dashboard page and any child system pages I wanted blocked from view, they still show up in the sidebar.
It doesn't look like I will need granular control over areas/blocks so I'll stick with the simple permissions model.

Hmmm... I just set up a new site that way and it worked out however: I added specific "Users" instead of "Group" permissions to get it to work for the editing plan I had. Maybe this is a possible difference.
I wiped out the entire db and did a fresh install. It's working now as desired so it must have been a problem during install.
Thanks for the help! :)
