Hi Johnny, Thanks for the reply! The view as admin only is an ok solution (we use the statuses in trackers so hiding them altogether isn't an option). It still adds an unnecessary element (to me anyway) to the screen for admins and as an admin, I like to be able to keep the admin options away from the general user components as much as possible so that I'm able to see what a general user sees. I hate having to do a switch to a non-admin user just to test and see what the site looks like to them. It might just be me though and it's not that big of a deal since I can continue to just hide it with CSS. I just like things to be as 'clean' as possible so I like to remove anything that's unnecessary and I was having a hard time coming up with use cases where this icon would actually prove useful, so I thought I'd bring it up to see if others were using that little icon and if it would make sense to have an option to disable it. Thanks! Pat On Thu, Aug 28, 2014 at 6:30 PM, Jonny Bradley <jo...@ti...> wrote: > > Hi Patrick > > Does it not obey the tracker status visibility settings?
