It depends on the item, but

It depends on the item, but since a lot of vertical menu items are for administrative purposes there may be a permission that controls access. But it depends on what you want to remove and what form it is in.

description of the form

thanks @nevets to answer :)

i am using the distribution commerce kickstart 7.x-2.0-rc4 (which goes with drupal core version 7.17).
in the node add form, all the fields but the tittle are included in vertical tabs, in a fieldset called additional_settings.
fields from core, like author, i can take out of the fieldset in a costum module (i am learning this) with

<?php
function my_module_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) {
     if (substr($form_id, -10) == '_node_form') {
         unset($form['author']['#group']);
    }
}

i use devel.
and the fieldset created by kickstart doesnt have #group, so this doesnt work.
also if i use

unset($form['additional_settings']);

the fields that are core drupal get out of the fieldset, but the one that is created by kickstart is unset too and i dont get it :(

can you give to me any tips where i can look? :)
thanks for you time :)

one kind of role has no permissions to change the other options on the node add form and sees this.

image for the vertical tab

I would like it to be out of there, next to the tittle.

i put the module weight to 1000 for it to be the last to be processed

<?php
  function MODULENAME_form_node_form_alter(&$form, $form_state) {
      if (user_is_logged_in() == TRUE) {
        global $user;
           // i need it only for not admin users
           if($user->name <> 'admin'){
               // i had to hide the container in vertical tabs
                $form['product_catalog']['#access'] = FALSE;
                unset($form['field_collection']['#fieldset']);
                // i changed the weight to be above the variations
                $form['field_collection']['#weight']='1';
          }
      }
  }
?>
