How come my permissions tab is on users and editors pages how do I hide this from them but leaving for admin
This is the same as admin

okay, so you have the site in simple permissions mode, but you're making groups and doing stuff that would imply you want a more complex model.
We made simple permissions mode because after years of consulting we realized, 90% of the time, it was a handful of people running the site and they really just needed to do everything.
If you turn on advanced permissions mode, you'll see something more like this (attached).
With this you should be able to do more of what it sounds like your shooting for.. let some people see a page, some make changes but not admin-y changes, some do everything...
The one downer, turning advanced permissions mode on to a site that has been built with simple permissions on can cause some weird view issues where block areas need to have stuff set correctly now that there's all this advanced stuff.. You can read more about advanced permission mode here:

on a side note. I want you to know I've been paying attention to the challenges you've been having and I'm very eager to guide concrete5 into something that both makes sense at a glance for you, and really works for you. I believe a spunky designer /should/ be able to make a decent site with concrete5 with out any help from an advanced PHP developer in the big picture. I recognize you've been asking some questions that quite frankly seem obvious when I see them, and we've managed to just glaze over them in the 6 months we've been open source.. I wish your build process was as easy as editing a page in concrete5, and I applaud your perseverance. I promise I'll try to make it worth it to you in the big picture. ;)

Ok I have updated the config file now exactly what I wanted, but as you mention the blocks have gone a bit loopy ie can't edit them now, does this mean the whole site has to be rebuilt or is there some way to overcome this option?
(is there a grid of rolls and groups in there, or just a "registered users/admin" choice in there?)
