Yes, this would disable it even when the administrator is logged in. The
administrator would generally know the direct URL for the configuration
page, and the configuration link will appear and disappear in the report
menu based on being logged in as administrator. The only thing that
isn't easy to do when you have removed the configuration button is
report layout configuration, where the URL changes for each report, but
that doesn't usually need to be accessed frequently.

One thing some people do is to put a link to the configuration page on
one of the characters that appears in the footer anyway and style the
link so that it is the same color as the rest of the text and isn't
underlined. Then you can easily get to configuration but the presence of
the link isn't obvious.

Dr. Seuss books . . . can be read and enjoyed on several levels. For
example, 'One Fish Two Fish, Red Fish Blue Fish' can be deconstructed
as a searing indictment of the narrow-minded binary counting system.
