Hi,

By default, the Admin usergroup should not be displayed in the “Who can view” section. Please check and let us know the following:

Have you made any customizations in the plugin code?
Have you created another usergroup called Admin?

Additionally, please check the usergroups of the test user and make sure the user does not belong to any usergroups that are allowed to view the tab.

Thanks for replying.

I changed Admin to Founder
To have Moderators and "Head mods"

I have not changed anything in the plugin after adding it.

Great concern but i have trippel checked the permissions.

The user can still se everything even after signing into a different browser.

The user can not see it on other users. But they can veiw it on their own profile. Even after disabling the edit and the "members veiw button" not sure what it is for.

Please see the response from the developers below:

Please note that if a tab or field is added, the user should be able to manage it. The “Who can view” option is designed to restrict content from other users, not from the current user. This means that if a field or tab is added, the user will be able to view/manage it.

If you want to restrict the content from being viewable or editable, there are currently no settings for that. However, we’ve added this to our to-do list and will implement it in one of the upcoming versions.

@astgh any work around by putting it on a admin only page somewhere somehow? Where the user might get acsess if they tryed but not just from a click of a button on their profile?

You can hide the tab for other users using JS or CSS code.

The example of the CSS code is provided below:

#wpforo-wrap:not(.wpfu-group-1) a.wpf-profile-menu:nth-of-type(5) { display: none; }

Details about the CSS code:

.wpfu-group-1 represents the Admin user group. You can use the same structure for other groups, such as moderators.
The number 5 in :nth-of-type(5) indicates the position (order) of the tab you want to hide.
