Disable "Turn on administrative access" and "Limited access"

[katodo]

Hi all, I use Cockpit on a device where I have different users with different permissions.

When I log in, especially with the user with the most limited permissions, I would like to remove the "Turn on administrative access" banner and "Limited access" button from the home page.

This user can't become "administrator" and I don't like him seeing this banner.

Is there any option in the configuration file? I can't find anything in the documentation.

You can create a manifest override to disable all privileged bridges:

$ cat /etc/cockpit/shell.override.json
{ "bridges": [] }

That will disable the superuser indicator. It won't disable the "limited access mode" banner, though.

ok, i tried it and it actually works and it's already better than before. If i can't remove the banner that says "Web console is running in limited access mode." can i at least change the text of the message?

Sorry, not with some config. It should be possible and to hard to hide the banner by default if there are no superuser bridges, as then it's useless. I filed #21134 about it.

See #21135 -- nice quick Friday afternoon hack!

Thanks! I see the patch is still under review, in the meantime I'll try it out by hand on my system.
