Hiding admin (user/1) account How can I hide the main administration account from authenticated users? I have created a new role and created a new admin account.
You can implement hook_menu_alter() in a module to alter the access callback used for the "user/%user" path.

The code I would use is the following one, which is generic enough not to take assumptions about the access callback already set, and the arguments passed to that access callback. This means the code will work even if there is another module that alters the access callback for the same path.
The same code would work for Drupal 6, once you replace any occurrence of user/%user with user/%user_uid_optional.

function mymodule_menu_alter(&amp;$items) {
  if (isset($items['user/%user'])) {
    array_unshift($items['user/%user']['access arguments'], $items['user/%user']['access callback']);
    array_unshift($items['user/%user']['access arguments'], 1);
    $items['user/%user']['access callback'] = 'mymodule_user_view_access';
  }
}

function mymodule_user_view_access($account, $callback) {
  $args = func_get_args();
  // Remove $account and $callback from the arguments.
  unset($args[0], $args[1]);

  $uid = is_object($account) ? $account-&gt;uid : (int) $account;

  // 1
  if ($uid == 1) {
    // The user ID is 1; only that user can view that user account.
    return ($GLOBALS['user']-&gt;uid == 1);
  } 
  // 1

  // Let the previously set access callback decide who has access to the user account.
  return call_user_func_array($callback, $args);    
}


The code would not allow any user to access the super user account, except to the super user. If you want to allow the users with the permission to administer users to see that user account, you can replace the control statement commented with // 1 with the following one.

  if ($uid == 1) {
    // The user ID is 1; only that user can view that user account.
    return user_access('administer users');
  }
