Hello! I want to change user groups permissions, for example: Admin Group - all permissions Co Admin - can do anything but cannot open some sections on admin pane How to do that? Thanks!

It’s not that I don’t trust them. But when it comes to our threat model, it creates an additional attack surface. What if the specific user gets compromised due to lack of security on his side? A lot of variables at play. We will explore plugin option then.
