i need a transparent admin/settings/configuration. can there be a full admin menu for users with view access but not edit or config option.
the only other thing i can think of is to copy the admin settings pages somehow and referance them as nodes, but this is more work and will not reflect actual changes without the copy procedure being done again.
drupal 6.x, v6 transparent admin
I am looking for transparent administration, open, visible and
sometimes editable admin settings with security. based on permissions,
locked individually (as a node?), password protected, view and/or edit
choice for admin inserted at the top or bottom of all admin/settings
pages. even better, password or radio button next to every settings
choice as viewable and/or editable similar to form field protect. a
prominent notification to the user, “you can view this page of
administration settings, if they require edit, please email
administration with your request link”. Possibly even attached comment
or site note section, ability to insert instruction or voting widget.
I gather this is the approach taken by adding access control to the
core and maybe it is similar to drupal core building.
