Marie,

While I am sure it can be debated as a "preference", there are some people who find dynamic User Interfaces (UI's) that "hide functions" to be more difficult than a single standard UI that is uniform for all users. (Regardless of their access in that context of the display at the moment.)

However, I am also a user who has not yet seen the "perfect UI" too.( If anyone has see such a thing, I would love to see it too. )



Not to mention the additional complexity of the application development that arises out of such "cross cutting" logic. Which is to say that the more dynamic the UI is, the harder it is to maintain as you add additional features, functions and the permutations of interactions between those things and the users "level of access" really does get out of control really quickly.

The obvious exception is "user permissions" to data.
If a UI element is only for 'blob objects" and the user has no access to "blob objects" then hiding all "blob object UI elements" seems not only reasonable but "easy". ( Well until there are some interactions between "blob objects" and other objects in the UI.  See permutations of interactions comment above.)


There are always "local/odd" things that every application tries to do to make things "better". But that also leads to "application specific knowledge" that is a burden for the user and the tool. ( In my opinion. )

Frankly I would rather have all UI's be 100% accessible, to all users, and then conform to more "standard organization models" than to need to keep needing to figure out if the button I need is "at the top or bottom", "at the right or the left" or "only there some of the time".

But maybe it is just me....

To whom it may concern,
I restrict the user view for a manager to all its subordinates. The manager can only read.
How can I get rid of the checkbox column (outerleft column) and of outerright column where one can disable, delete, reconcile, unlock etc... a user?
I don't get why this outerright column exists if the manger has in my settings no right to disable, delete, reconcile, unlock etc... its subordinates. If he chooses one of those actions then he gets an error because he has not the appropriate rights. Anyway, for my needs I want to get rid of this column.
Thank you in advance for your help,
