Hide admin tools and options to users not in the 'sudoers' file
Registered by
Stefano Costa
Normal users who are NOT included in the /etc/sudoers file should not have by default the admin tools included in their menus, nor get update-notifier messages in the notification area of the panel, and so on. It can be confusing if they try to access these functions and then they are not able to do what they believed. This mechanism should be general enough to filter menu items based on other criteria, such as group membership
