Thanks for locating and sending this on to me separately. The version you 
sent me works and is exactly what I am looking for in an aid for my various 
simplified Admin Roles. Thanks so much.

The separate Menus for Site Admins (watered down admin functionality), 
etc... is exactly what I do at this time. I have the privileges and 
Blocks/Block Groups sorted out to do exactly that.

But the links I have been including in those Menus have been to standard 
selective  Admin Panel pages. So I was looking for something to refine the 
display of information (hide uneeded selections / options), per page. The 
work version of SimpleAdmin that you sent does exactly that, for which I am 
extremely grateful.

Many thanks for the assistnace.

Cheers,


Wayne
