I think that's because the visibility of those items is really an optional, user prefs kind of thing. I'll bet the core team could tell you exactly where in the actual database that setting could be activated with a simple record change rather that going back to each account and setting it manually.

umm, it is a user config value, so you will have to write a script to just change those values, there is no easy way right now

It would be nice to be able to change these settings from the User Edit page or at a Group level.

Im hoping that at some point this finds its way to there, as having to log provide dashboard access for users add the buttons and then take the access away is a time consuming process.

And almost easier to follow the "how to" that hard codes the links in.

Where abouts in the database would I find the user config settings?

I could do with having a go at the script or at least try to have it turned on by default when creating users in a particular group?

I actually just had the Concrete5 team build the script to run for me. Now when I add a new Admin, I have to rerun the script. Not the best solution, but for now it was exactly what I needed.

Here's hoping that this will work its way into a core release at some point in the future then if the core team are creating scripts to do this.
