"Visibility of Controls" should be hidden

For example, I want them to see the Send Interval setting, but they shouldn't see the 'Controls' settings for it. If I make it hidden, the settings still appear (Visibility of Controls). If I set it to inaccessible to the user, both options are gone.

I don't understand what you mean. Please post annotated screenshots.

No follow-up.

I think i am seeing the same issue - or at least have the same question

I want the columns for users to set Send Interval, On Updates, On comments to be visible to the User on on the Content Type tab.

But I wasn't expecting them to therefore also see the Visibility of Controls settings on the Overview page.

I have looked for an Admin setting that would hide the Visibility of Settings section within the Settings section on the Overview but can't spot one.

Should there be one - am i missing it. I don't want my users to click these and find that they have removed the Columns on Content Type and Taxonomy.

First screen shot shows what I don't want them to see

If at admin/config/system/subscriptions/userdefaults I set eg Send Interval (under Visibility of Controls) to 'Hidden' then I lose the columns when I only want to remove the options on 'overview'.

Hope that makes it clearer.

Hi Pete!

If you set the radio buttons to Visible in admin/config/system/subscriptions/userdefaults -> you're worried that it's not obvious that a user when selecting: Hidden will lose their columns in the all (Pages/Content Type/Category) tabs?

If you really want to hide it from overview you could use form_alter, but perhaps I'm not fully understanding you're concerns.

Hi and thanks for the prompt response. I think you do get it ;-)
I am not expecting or wanting the User to have access to the Visibility Settings in the Overview (so they can't change things) but I do want them to have the Columns showing on eg Content Type tab.
I was thinking I would be able to configure it so that the columns would show - so they can set the interval per Content Type, and choose 'on update' etc but not to be able to change whether they can see those columns or not.
If form_alter is the way to go - that is fine.

Just seemed like what had struck me as odd had also concerned the original poster.
