Turn Off Moderation Center

[aharmon]

I am implementing SMF and would like to turn off the ability for my moderators and global moderators to see the Moderation Center.   How can I accomplish this with 2.0?  I tried changing the moderator and global moderator permissions to Deny access to the Moderation Center, but the Moderate tab is still there when the moderators log in.  What am I doing wrong?

Do you want the moderator center tab to appear at all?

No, I don't want the moderation tab to appear at it all.  Not in the Help Screens or where the Moderator can see it.. Basically, our moderators will only be using basic moderation tasks (moving, merging, splitting, etc.).. They wont be watching members or anything like that.

You can remove the Moderation tab from the navigation bar by removing this code at your subs.php file in Sources folder. This will remove it for everyone though, admins included.

Code Select Expand

'moderate' => array(
'title' => $txt['moderate'],
'href' => $scripturl . '?action=moderate',
'show' => $context['allow_moderation_center'],
'sub_buttons' => array(
'modlog' => array(
'title' => $txt['modlog_view'],
'href' => $scripturl . '?action=moderate;area=modlog',
'show' => !empty($modSettings['modlog_enabled']),
),
'poststopics' => array(
'title' => $txt['mc_unapproved_poststopics'],
'href' => $scripturl . '?action=moderate;area=postmod;sa=posts',
'show' => $modSettings['postmod_active'],
),
'attachments' => array(
'title' => $txt['mc_unapproved_attachments'],
'href' => $scripturl . '?action=moderate;area=attachmod;sa=attachments',
'show' => $modSettings['postmod_active'],
),
'reports' => array(
'title' => $txt['mc_reported_posts'],
'href' => $scripturl . '?action=moderate;area=reports',
'show' => true,
'is_last' => true,
),
),
),

So it is not recommended as you have to type index.php?action=moderate again each time.

Why not just uncheck the "Access to Moderation Center" (or whatever the statement is) in the permissions?

...admin has all permissions.

Not admins. 

Are these moderators assigned to boards? If so have you changed the permissions for that membergroup as well as ones you have set up?

Double check that ALL membergroups who shouldnt have access to the Moderation Center dont have the option checked within the membergroup general permissions.
