Admin Restrictions?

[IanManning]

Reading through this thread, I think the answer to my question is no, but is it possible to give non-admins the rights to payment details?

[Heliosurge (Dan DeMontmorency)]

Would it be possible maybe to give a moderator/user limited admin access to say Themes & Theme component settings via API key? I am sure may also need a plugin?

If can be done using keys could they be set to a time frame?

Ie Moderator or special Team member could have a key granted when required for access to a limited set of admin areas?

@IanManning

is it possible to give non-admins the rights to payment details?

It’s technically possible to give non-admins access to anything that stored in the Discourse database by creating a Data Explorer query that returns the information, then giving a group access to that particular query. I’m assuming that the payment details you’re looking for are stored in the database, but I haven’t looked into that closely.

@Overmind

in most other platforms you can add a user to the admin panel solely for the design permissions without having to give them access to every feature

A role that could be used to give outside contractors access to theme related parts of the admin section would make a lot of sense. There’s generally no need for someone who’s making a quick fix to a theme to have access to user details, api keys, Data Explorer queries, etc.
