Any way of restricting Table selection

  • is there a way to restrict the tables that display for selection on the Tabulate Overview page.
    I only want certain tables to appear there even for administrators.
    I would also like to to have the Grants page not appear at all.

    I could probably hack the code but not what I want to do if there is a better way.

    Thank you.

    Great plugin otherwise.

    At the moment the only way you can do this is is for non-administrators. That’s sort of by design, because people shouldn’t be running admin accounts for day-to-day editing stuff.

    However, administrators *are* listed in the grants screen, so it doesn’t make sense to not honour that in the overview screen! I’ll see if I can find time to fix things as you request.

    As for hiding the grants tab from administrators: I’m not sure that’s a good idea — how would you get to that screen then? Basically, I recommend not using an admin account unless you’re actually doing admin things. ??

    I totally understand and agree with your points.

    I think I was wishing for some kind of hook or code snippet to stick in functions.php to make the plugin less powerful to use to maintain an auxiliary table.
    On this site we have users that have been given Admin rights to access legacy features not too well written.

    Thank you very much for the reply and for the great plugin.

    Frank.
