Mint Menu Configure Permissions

Post by PaganDegree »

How would I deny a standard user the "Configure" option on the Mint Menu? I want to configure it for the Standard user account, then make sure it can't be changed afterwards. Apologies but I have been unable to find the answer so far. I imagine it involved removing them from a group or changing their group permission to read only, but I don't know which one.

Mint 20.2 Cinnamon Desktop
