you should be able get around this limitation in a hook function. You can hide the relationship tab by implementing the hook_civicrm_tabs hook. If you want to make it more secure, you can also implement hook_civicrm_pageRun and hook_civicrm_buildForm and check that the person viewing/editing the relationship page has the necessary permission (which u'll neeed to add via a drupal module)

Okay, getting down to it.

I've created a sites/all/modules/tabaccess directory
I populated it with a tabaccess.info file and a tabaccess.module file

the tabaccess.info Contains

name = Tab Access Module
description = Limit Who Can See Tabs
dependencies[] = civicrm
package = CiviCRM
core = 6.x
version = 3.2

the tabaccess.module contains (the sample code from hook_civicrm_tabs all commented out)

function tabaccess_civicrm_tabs( &$tabs, $contactID ) {

    // unset the contribition tab, i.e. remove it from the page
    // unset( $tabs[1] );

    // let's add a new "contribution" tab with a different name and put it last
    // this is just a demo, in the real world, you would create a url which would
    // return an html snippet etc.
    // $url = CRM_Utils_System::url( 'civicrm/contact/view/contribution',
    //                               "reset=1&snippet=1&force=1&cid=$contactID" );
    // $tabs[] = array( 'id'    => 'mySupercoolTab',
    //                  'url'   => $url,
    //                  'title' => 'Contribution Tab Renamed',
    //                 'weight' => 300 );
}

Am I on the right track with this?

from the sample code it looks like if I can test for the right group, I can remove the desired tab by using

unset( $tabs[1] );

assuming that I select the right number in the braces after $tabs.

do you have any suggestions as to how to test for group or role or whatever?
