Thanks, Zoltan")* Well, I understand... except having it that way seems to make the whole "access" tab kind of pointless. The implementation might not be "buggy", but it seems like the logic might be. If I have the "view" unchecked for the given group under "configuration", it does NOT show in the Hikashop menu, but it DOES show in the Joomla menu. So - is that "hidden"? No, it isn't. (Although at least the "manage" option seems to take the editing options away, but still the data is accessible.) Per my (possibly incomplete) understanding, you can choose not to have any sub-menus for the Joomla menu for a component (Tienda has it that way) - if the display can't be dynamic, maybe the sub-menu should be eliminated, and the Hikashop menu should "take care of business". BTW, for now, I went and hid the sub-menu using CSS on the Admin side template, but this is an "un-elegant" "hack" and doesn't make the access setting "work". (Not to mention, the limited user could look at the page source and find the link in it and go to the paqe using that, if they had any kind of web "savvy".) What's your thoughts on this?

Thanks, Zoltan")* You must be using HikaShop on Joomla 2.5 because the library changed. We found out that the access check is not working properly on views of the backend with the current release. The fix which will be included in next version of HikaShop is to add the code: Code: function authorise($task){ return $this->authorize($task); } before the code: Code: function authorize($task){ in the file administrator/components/com_hikashop/helpers/helper.php With that, the access to the view itself won't be allowed and thus hiding the menu in CSS is not really a problem.

That modification is not to handle the joomla menu items but to forbid the access to the view when the access is not granted.
