xF2 Add-on Clean Admin UI 1.0.0

NOTE - this addon is no longer required as of XF 2.3.4 - this functionality is now a part of the core.


If you create an admin user but don't give them any admin permissions, you'll see the following information in the admin cp.

You'll also see a bunch of other warnings and notices, depending on what's happening on your server.





This addon simply hides all of these extra bits of information (which really shouldn't be visible to admin users without any permissions!), so you can have a clean admin UI if you need to give certain users administrative access to certain functionality - but you don't want them accessing this other information.

In addition to the Tools menu on the side, the following information is removed from the admincp home/index page:

• Unicode warning
• Stopped jobs / Stopped manual jobs notice
• Legacy Config notice
• Import running notice
• Staff online info block
• Environment report info block
• File health checks info block

With this addon installed, this is what the admin UI looks like to a user with no admin permissions:




("XenForo 2.3" is the board title of my dev server - you'll see your board title there instead)

This addon adds three new admin permissions for finer control over who can see what:

• Use checks and tests
• View server info
• View staff online

As per the standard behaviour of XenForo, a user with SuperAdmin rights will automatically have these permissions and see everything in the AdminCP.

This addon has been tested with XF 2.3
