A Redmine plugin that controls module visibility on the Project Settings screen. It hides selected module checkboxes from the "Modules" tab so their enabled/disabled state stays fixed — preventing accidental changes by non-admin users.
It is intended for organizations that want to standardize and govern module configuration across projects.
The "Modules" tab in Project Settings can be changed by anyone with project administration rights. When an organization wants certain modules to be uniformly enabled or disabled, individual project admins toggling them breaks that consistency. This plugin effectively locks the configured state by hiding the target checkboxes from non-admin users.
- Keep required features ON - For example, keep Time Tracking enabled across all projects so it cannot be turned off at the project level.
- Keep unwanted features OFF - For example, keep Repository or Forums disabled uniformly so unneeded features are not enabled on a whim.
- Protect custom / third-party modules - Shield operationally important custom modules from accidental or unauthorized changes by project admins.
Because the checkbox state itself is never modified, any existing enabled/disabled setting is preserved. Admins can use the "Show hidden modules" link to review and change hidden modules at any time.
- Hide modules - Hides selected module checkboxes from the "Modules" tab in Project Settings. The current enabled/disabled state is preserved (never changed).
- Core & plugin modules - Works with both Redmine core modules and third-party plugin modules.
- Safe select-all - The "check/uncheck all" toggle only affects visible checkboxes, so hidden modules are never flipped by accident.
- Admin override - Admins get a "Show hidden modules" link to reveal and review the hidden checkboxes.
- Module descriptions - Built-in descriptions for standard modules are shown as tooltips; custom descriptions for unlisted plugins can be entered in settings.
- Redmine 6.0 / 6.1 / 7.0
