Remove Genesis user permissions from roles

[tigaruk]

I'm using woocommerce with Genesis and for the customer roles it is automatically ticking these boxes for all users. Obviously i don't want customers having any access to those menus and whilst they technically can't see them currently i don't want them being enabled but hidden somewhere that someone could use. How do i make it so these are off by default for all customer user roles?

User Permissions

Genesis Admin Menus

Enable Genesis Admin Menu?
Enable SEO Settings Submenu?
Enable Import/Export Submenu?

This is untested, but it should remove the fields from all users except admins:

if ( ! current_user_can( 'manage_options' ) ) {
    remove_action( 'show_user_profile', 'genesis_user_options_fields' );
    remove_action( 'edit_user_profile', 'genesis_user_options_fields' );
}

Victor, Thanks for this! I just tried it and am still getting randos galore signing up for my site's blog. So it's doesn't seem to be working- even though akismet is set up and enabled.
Any other ideas?
Where is this even set in the admin?
Thanks
Karen

The earlier example is wrapped in a conditional that's checking for specific permissions. If you want to remove the settings for everyone, just add this to functions.php without the conditionals.

remove_action( 'show_user_profile', 'genesis_user_options_fields' );
remove_action( 'edit_user_profile', 'genesis_user_options_fields' );

These are set in the user_meta.php page in the Genesis /lib/admin/ directory. Never change Framework files though. That's what the hooks are for.

Victor,
Thanks for this!
If I remove 'show_user_profile' will legitimate users have access to their wp account page that lists purchases etc?

??

Thanks
