Admin Area in Drupal site

I have a problem with Drupal: I build sites that have a protected area accessible only to site admins. I want to create a pseudo-admin role that has access to the protected area but I don't want them to access full admin/Drupal functionalities.

Which is the best thing to do in this case? Can I create a sub-admin area with styled access only to some areas (like creating content and others) without reinventing the wheel?

Like troynt said, the sections module is usually good for this type of thing. It depends on your requirements, but when I once needed to set up a user section that was separate from the site and only shared certain data, so I set up a multisite with some shared tables

If you want to grant permissions beyond content management, you may consider Site Configuration Permissions.

The following permissions are added:

  • administer administration theme
  • administer clean-urls
  • administer date-time
  • administer error reporting
  • administer file system
  • administer modules
  • administer performance
  • administer site information
  • administer site maintenance
  • administer themes
  • display site building menu
  • display site configuration menu

Yes.

Create a role, set the role permissions ( /admin/user/permissions ) to just what you need them to access.

If you need a styled theme for these users, check out sections module, you can do role and url specific themes.
