Limiting administrative functions in the dashboard - how

How can I allow someone access to the dashboard but limit what they can do there.

Discovered how. Never Mind.

However, the one thing I've still not found is how to NOT show the News Link on the Dashboard.

This is a little drastic but here goes:

Override your dashboard page by copying

'root/concrete/single_pages/dashboard/view.php'

to

'root/single_pages/dashboard/view.php'

Add this bit of jQuery magic just above the closing </script> tag at the bottom of your new copy of view.php around line 99:

$('a[href$="/index.php/dashboard/news/"]').parent('div').css('display','none');


Basically it makes the div surrounding the 'News' link disappear. You could surround it with some PHP that allows certain groups to see the link if you want. It worked on my site - see attached screenshot.
