CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Another workaround is to give the non admin users the administer CiviCRM permissions(in drupal) and  then on this link: civicrm/admin/menu?action=update&reset=1&id=94
you can add extra permission role which is not given to the non admin users.
This would just hide the administer menu link from the non admin users, they might still have access to the other sub menu items but you can still add permission levels to those links.

Give all users "administer civicrm permission"? But what can then all these user do?? (just "hidding" admin menu nit seem a very robust method to secure software)...
