limited admin.cgi
Would it be an idea with a plugin for admin.cgi where you could have a list of users and select which areas they have access to in admin?

Ex: a specific user would have access to everything except Setup and Plugins

That would be a very good idea, but would require an advanced permission system, and if GT would do that professionally, then should need to do modifications inside each feature, too.
I don't think it would be an easy task, but would be very useful.

BTW: isn't the Editor(browser.cgi) feature for such task?

This would be very tricky and probably not worth attempting with Links SQL. Gossamer Forum has a permission system already built in which would make something like this far easier.

You'd have to make a list of all admin functions and store them in the database and then have a table of users and the functions they can access. It's possible but a lengthy task.

yeah I guess the way forward could be to extend permissions in editor browser instead...

I have already had some addtional functionality added to the editor browser (like search with is a great addition) - but some other fuctions would be great to add like specific plugins that require a person to maintain.

Would that be easier?
