Admin Overrides

This picture shows how to fix a potential problem that results from the above changes. When an administrator logs on, he will get beseiged by polls - the two specialised ones and also the normal poll. Being an administrator, he probably doesn't even want to vote in them!

The solution to this problem is to block the administrator from seeing the polls. An obvious first attempt to do this would involve setting up a permissions entry for the administrators with a component of 'Polls::', an instance of '.*', an an access level of 'None'. However, this is not what is required. An entry like this would block administrative ccess to the polls altogether, so the administrators could no edit current polls, create new polls, or even access poll results.

What the administrator really wants to do is not to block access to the polls themselves, but to block access to the polls blocks. This means that the polls blocks are not displayed, but the polls themselves are still fully available through the administrative interface.
