This is also an issue for non-hosted users. Given that Plug-Ins include things like "Unpost Gifts" and "Delete Phones" this is definitely an area I'd like to lock down and limit access to even viewing. This seems like a pretty big security hole.
I agree completely. Plug-Ins are a serious Security loophole. We just had an issue where a very well-meaning user was directed by BB Support to fix a small problem using the Unpost Gifts Plug-in. Unfortunately, she inadvertently unposted several hundred thousand gifts. This User was in a security group that could not make global changes... and yet she was able to do so via the Plug-In.
We are trying to create a view-only access group and restrict only to records view level, but not being able to restrict the plug-ins and the ability to run them is a huge problem for us as well. I do not understand why we can't do this and why Blackbaud won't address it.
my suggestion is each plug-in links should be assigned by group users.
This is a huge problem!
There is no way at all to hide this from security groups. I don't even want my users being able to be poking around in there.

I would vote for this a thousand times if I could. I don't want our users in Plug-Ins!
