Hello out there,

I'm building a site for a client that integrates ProductCart 4, but when I hand off the site I don't want the client to have access to certain options on the Control Panel (you never know what the client's going break, given the chance).

Is there any way to do this, perhaps with different logins, superadmin rights or something? Would it require custom coding? The easier the better.

Thanks all!

create users with restricted permissions. Look in the admin for this feature.

Thanks Greg. I checked that out and it's pretty easy. Unfortunately you can only set permissions by general areas that way; is there any way to get more specific? Thanks again!

Only via custom code. What you see is the stock functionality. A file named adminv.asp is the script that is the "traffic cop" that parses requests versus permissions and decides who gets what. If you are going to edit the system, that file and the admin tool is where to begin you review.
