They need that to change their own password and so on.

Assuming that you've given them minimal privileges, then there shouldn't
be many other options under it.

It cannot be removed entirely without hacking the Bricolage UI.
Remember the "change password" function is buried in there and if you're
not using some form of SSO, you'll still need that.

I was about to ask how to make the stuff under there disappear.
Does anyone know of a way, or am I stuck with a lot of functions that won't make sense to most of my users.

It can disappear only if you modify the Bricolage source code.

Best,

Perhaps someday soon, but I am still a bit too new with this application to start tinkering around too much under the hood.

Thanx all for the quick responses.

To be honest, our users don't even go anywhere near the admin section, we
just told them to ignore it and they do. We have good users :-)
