Sharepoint hide ribbon for standard users

Question

is it possible to hide te ribbon for standard users in Sharepoint ? I want to see the ribbon when I am a administrator, but what I want is that people can only add a document and not do edit in the ribbon.

Answer 1

SharePoint has no standard way (configuration) to hide Ribbon only for selected users. You can use javascript, maybe jQuery to do it. Ribbon is rendered into <div id="RibbonContainer">.

You can get info about current user via javascript client object model. See MSDN.
