watch only using apache security

I am using apache htaccess security with zoneminder.
Is there any way to limit user to only watch events/live stream with apache security?

I know that zoneminder has built in user management, but for some reason it does not work for me. I contstantly get connection errors using built in security, and I don't know why. I just must restart apache to get things running again. Without zm account management, I don't get any errors.

Or is it possible to remove "options"- and "delete"button and hyperlinks to change function etc from default skin? I don't need real security, just to be sure that my wife don't do anything stupid by accident.

I solved this "dirty way":

- I renamed classic-skin to admin
- I did edit original classic skin, removed all buttons and hyperlinks and named it as classic

Now users see my edited front screen without "dangerous" buttons and hyperlinks, and I can use admin skin.

I know this can be bypassed easily by adding ?skin=admin to the end of zm url, but that is not a problem, as I have apache security turned on.
