Restrict Site Admins Access To Dashboard

PostPosted: September 2nd, 2011, 6:35 pm

Hi,

To help me monitor my site I have promoted 5 members to admin status. This is so these site admins can delete and monitor my buddypress site all from the front end, which my theme supports, and it works really well.

The trouble is I don't want these administrator accessing the Dashboard which they can easily do from the front end.

Is there a way for me to restrict access to the Dashboard for these Site Admins using S2Member Pro? Maybe restricting somehow by userid?

Please advise?

Thanks
Rob.

Hi Rob.

If they're admins, then they'll have access to the site's administration. You should probably use another role and add to it just the extra capabilities they need to help you with BuddyPress. https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/user-role-editor/

Maybe BuddyPress has a way to make them moderators without site admin capabilities. http://buddypress.org/support/topics/
