Problem/Motivation

As the Administrator role holds the highest level of privilege, Drupal assigns all permissions to it by default. It might not be feasible due to the potential for overriding core functionality.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Navigate to the Permissions page (/admin/people/permissions).
  2. Notice the root user "administrator" has all permissions enabled and greyed out by default.

Proposed resolution

Is there a way to revoke individual permissions or disable the entire permissions page for this role?

Read Securing the admin super user (#1).

hi @cilefen, thanks for the response. I took a look at the article you posted and this looks to secure a particular user whereas I'm trying to disable the greyed out permissions page for role "Administrator". Unless I missed something, I didn't see anything regarding the permissions page.

Did you not see the part titled “Disable the super user access policy”.
