Trying to create an extension for our roles here and I want to remove  
the ability to change the status of a page from some users, but I  
can’t figure out how to remove the status area. The syntax used  
doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to me. Here’s how I removed and re-  
added the “Delete” option from the admin index (used code), but I  
can’t remove the update status field.

## roles.rb

admin.page.index[:node].delete(‘remove\_column’)  
admin.page.index.add :node,  
‘remove\_column\_subject\_to\_permissions’, :after =\> “add\_child\_column”

remove\_column\_subject\_to\_permissions.haml
