README

Hide Admin plugin for Craft CMS 4

Hide Admin hides admin users from non-admin users, which is useful if you want to hand over the responsibility of user management without granting access to admin accounts.

Overview

For non-admin users in the control panel:

• Admin users are excluded from the Users index and from user relation fields (Users fields, entry authors)
• Admin users can't be viewed, edited, or deleted — including by navigating to an admin's edit screen directly
• The “Admin” option is removed from the Users index filter

Because admin users are filtered out of control-panel user queries, an entry authored by an admin will show a blank author to a non-admin — this is the same hiding at work, not a bug.

Hiding is scoped to the control panel: front-end craft.users queries and GraphQL are not filtered. Complete, configurable hiding — per-group visibility rules and opt-in front-end enforcement — ships in Silo, the Craft 5 successor.

Requirements

This plugin requires Craft CMS 4.3.0 or later.
