    My users have the ability to view all pages, add documents to the shared library, add blog posts.  I would like to remove the ribbon so they are not able to modify the pages, personal views,

    Can I hide almost all the functions in the ribbon, but maintain add/delete/modify documents?

    I found this download, but I do not know how to install: http://spribbonvisibility.codeplex.com/

    Consider this: http://spribbonvisibility.codeplex.com/

    Thinking ahead at some of the folks who may need it. You will be pulled back and forth over who needs it.

    Do you understand how to install http://spribbonvisibility.codeplex.com/

    I downloaded it, but I don't really understand how to integrate it into my site.

    LilyPaws, the instructions on the link are as follows;

    • stsadm -o addsolution -filename PATH\ConsultPoint.SharePoint.RibbonVisibility.wsp
    • stsadm -o deploysolution -name ConsultPoint.SharePoint.RibbonVisibility.wsp -allowgacdeployment -immediate
    • Activate the feature named ConsultPoint.SharePoint.RibbonVisibility on your site collection

    Download the WSP file and then execute the commands above on your server, obviously change PATH to the directory of the WSP file location.  From "Site Actions" > "Site Settings" > "Site Collection Features" you should then be able to activate the feature.

    Hi LilyPaws,

    We can also use the SPSecurityTrimmedControl to hide the Ribbon based on permissions group provided.

    1. Open the master page with SharePoint Designer
    2. Add tag SPSecurityTrimmedControl around the s4-ribbonrow div

    For example, the following sample gives the users, who has ManageWebs permission, to see the Ribbon only:

     <SharePoint:SPSecurityTrimmedControl runat="server" Permissions="ManageWeb">
        <div id="s4-ribbonrow" class="s4-pr s4-ribbonrowhidetitle">
            <div id="s4-ribboncont">
                ...
                ...
        </div>
</SharePoint:SPSecurityTrimmedControl>

    But, please note, both the SPSecurityTrimmedControl and the http://spribbonvisibility.codeplex.com/ will hide the Ribbon at all.

    You can also see the following article for more information:
