You can always create new users with lower privileges, or You can assign viewing rights to individual users with the same access privilege (that is, administrators).
In this example, only Sourav I would have access to all the links in the administration menu. The user greensdk no tendría acceso aún cuando él (o ella) be un administrador. Antes de que me olvide, el Menu customization options it is enabled in General Options (same location as last).
