 * As the network superuser of a WordPress multisite configuration, is there any
   way to hide some plugins from subsite admin access, such as the domain mapping
   plugin.
 * It would seem the admins can not change anything, as it’s in the superuser menu,
   but they could still disable it, it appears.
 * I would just hide the entire plugins menu, but FS Contact Forms puts it’s own
   configuration options link in that menu…which subsite admins need.

 * It depends on which domain mapping plugin you are using. If you are using this
   one ([http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-mu-domain-mapping/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-mu-domain-mapping/)),
   then it should be installed in the mu-plugins folder, which can’t be disabled
   by regular blog admins. There is also an option to disable the menu this plugin
   puts in the Plugins menu, removing all control from non-superadmins.

 * I want to say non Super-Admins can’t even see mu-plugins too…
 * Anyway. I have a list of potential candidates to help you with this 🙂

 * And this option is under super Admin -> Domain mapping. 😉

 * Yes, Tim, that is the one I am using…but, I am logging in to my server now, but
   I thought WOrdpress three did away with the concept of plugins and mu-plugins
   and made them all exist in one place? I could swear a coworker on a somewhat 
   recent WordPress consulting job I had said that…hmmm

 * Sadly, after creating the mu-plugins directory, moving the plugin there, it now
   disabled itself and isn’t visible…no new menu option for mu plugs, no plug in
   the main list or anything…did I miss something?

 * Oh, I had it working and enabled before from the standard plugins directory…just
   moved it to this new mu-plugins directory…
