Remove “access” link

Hi napleswebguy,

Apparently your user has Administrator role assigned. In this way you would have to overwrite default AAM capability that grands access to manage access settings.

In order to do so, follow these few simple steps:

1. Go to AAM Capabilities tab and create a new unique capability. For example manage_aam or access_aam (it can be any capability you desire);
2. Make sure that this capability is checked for your user but unchecked for any other Administrator user;
3. Go to Extensions tab and download ConfigPress extension;
4. After it is installed successfully go to AAM ConfigPress tab and enter next config (replace manage_aam with whatever capability you created in the step #1):
[aam]
page.capability = “manage_aam”

Please let me know if any questions.
Regards,

That worked perfectly, thanks!

Since I’m not the first to want to edit another admin user access, any plans to make it easier to do this?

napleswebguy,

It is a great question.

We try to keep AAM UI as leaner as possible. That is why we apply 80/20 rule approach to our features. If more than 20% of questions and feedback is about some feature, than we add it to UI. Otherwise it goes to ConfigPress configuration. So in most cases ConfigPress is just a middle stage for new feature.

At this point your feature was request very few times but things can change at any time.

Thank you for your interest in AAM.
Regards,
Vasyl

i followed these instructions exactly and now i am locked out of AAM completely
