   I'm trying to remove the capability of users other than the admin (ID number 1) to add a page, I know that there are plugins which you can edit the role but in my case I need the users to be 'Administrator' role but I need to remove some capabilities. I have the following code:

   function modify_capabilities()
   {
   	global $userdata;
   	get_currentuserinfo();
     $userdata->ID != 1 ->remove_cap('publish_pages');
   
     // for posts it should be:
     // $editor_role->remove_cap('publish_posts');
   
     // to add capabilities use add_cap()
   }
   
   add_action('admin_init','modify_capabilities');

   but I'm not sure why it isn't working. Please help fix the code, thanks

   Note: The reason why it needs to be Administrator role because a specific plugin I use only displays reports to 'Administrator'.

   [No bumping, thank you.]

   I would take a look at the Role Scoper plugin.

   From what I read of Role Scoper, it's per role.. I need it per Username/user..

   remove_cap() requires a role to be passed.

   One solution, use the Role Scoper or members plugin to create a role of Special Admin. Assign that role all the admin responsibilities. Next, adjust the capabilities for the admin role as needed. Give the Special Admin role to user 1 and the admin role to the other users.
