Yes, WPMU has much different users structure. As I said, I will need much more time to solve all WPMU related issues.

I am using the latest version of WPMU 2.8.4.

I think the problem may lie in what we define as users. I want the GD Star panel links hidden from everyone, this includes admins of blogs, except me – the site owner.

I think blog admins have level 10 access on their own blogs, so this is why they can still access the GD Star options.

Another type of access restriction might be needed. As I said previously the is_site_admin tag does this job. It only gives access to the site owner, anyone else even with level 10 access is restricted.

What version of WPMU you are using? I have tested only with WPMU 2.8.2 and higher, and I will not going to support older versions. On my WPMU setup, everything works fine with rev1, regular users don’t see menus that they shouldn’t see.

Well, something is definitely strange with WPMU. I will investigate more.

Yes, I copied gdsr-config.php to wp-content/plugins. I set all access levels to 10.

And you copied gdsr-config.php outside of gd-star-rating folder? Can you confirm this, and tell me how you set this file?

I should explain by panel I mean links.

No it is not working. Blog owners can still see and access all panels with the rev1 update. The only thing that works is that the security panel is hidden from them. My point is the user_ID security is working but the user_level security does not seem to be working.

So, now with rev1, things are OK? As for the user ID, this is next in line for better WPMU centralized control, but that will need much more work.

The security panel option works, only I as user_ID 1 can see it – although there is nothing on the security page.

However, blog owners can still see all panel options. Maybe if would be easier if you also provided the option to hide all panels based on user_ID as well.

Try 1.6.1_rev1 version and tell me if the problems are gone now. You can get it from Plugin Download page here.

MillaN, I’ve changed all the user levels to 10 in gdsr-config.php and set the admin user ID to my ID, but the blog admins can still see and access every panel.

I don’t see how this works anyway, aren’t the people who have blogs in an WPMU environment given level 10 status anyway. Surely something more is needed to prevent them from seeing the panels?

Thanks.
