@codinghorror Is there a way we can limit some abilities to certain Admin?

For super admin, we can have a checklist to check or uncheck which power is granted to a specific admin. It can be a modal popup.

Example:  
Admin 1 - Can do everything, except impersonate, see logs, API, or Backup.  
Admin 2 - Can do all design changes only.

The list of power can be based here:  
Dashboard, Settings, Users, Badges, Groups, Emails, Flags, Logs, Customize, API, Backups, Plugins, Impersonate

So if I set up one Admin and check only Customize. The only tab he/she will be seeing is the Customize tab on his admin panel.

I think this is a solution to all the Admin Restriction problems, temporarily. Because if they can’t see the tab, they won’t know that it’s possible for them to do it.
