[rt-users] How to hide Configuration Tab ?

[Greg Dickerson]

One other way is to add some logic to $RT/Elements/Tabs. I added this to our install,

my $toptabs;
if ($session{'CurrentUser'}->Name eq 'root'){
         $toptabs = {
                        A => { title => 'Home',
                                path => '',
                         },
                        B => { title => 'Search',
                                path => 'Search/Listing.html'
                        },

                        D => { title => 'Configuration',
                                path => 'Admin/'
                        }
                       };
} else {
         $toptabs = {
                        A => { title => 'Home',
                               path => '',
                             },
                        B => { title => 'Search',
                               path => 'Search/Listing.html'
                             }
                       };
}

This will hide the link from all users unless you are root. I'm not the best perl guru so if there are errors...let me know.
I'd like to add a @admins array to this ie @admins = qw( root user_1 user_2 etc...) so that I can give superuser rights to a user
and add there login to the list any ideas?
