How to remove fields from the admin user create page of Sonata User Bundle?

Question

I have installed Sonata Admin Bundle and User Bundle in my Symfony 2.6 application. I found that the User bundle creates a bundle at src/Application/Sonata/UserBundle . When I go to the admin user creation page ( admin/sonata/user/user/create ), I found a lot of fields there:

• General
  • Username
  • E-Mail-Address
  • Plain password
• Groups
• Profile
  • Date of birth
  • Firstname
  • Lastname
  • Website
  • Biography
  • Gender
  • Locale
  • Timezone
  • Phone
• Social
  • Facebook Uid
  • Facebook Name
  • Twitter Uid
  • Twitter Name
  • Google+ Uid
  • Google+ Name

• Management

  • Roles
  • Locked
  • Expired
  • Enabled
  • Credentails expired

• Security

  • Token
  • Two Step Verification Code

I only need Username, E-Mail, Password, Groups, Firstname and Lastname for my admin user creation. How can I remove the other unnecessary fields from that page?

Answer 1

Under configuration for sonata user bundle in config.yml ie sonata_user you can override sonata user admin class and define your own admin class

sonata_user
    admin:                  # Admin Classes
        user:
            class:          Application\Sonata\UserBundle\Admin\UserAdmin
            #Sonata\UserBundle\Admin\Entity\UserAdmin
            controller:     ApplicationSonataUserBundle:UserCURD /** you can also override CURD controller for your admin class*/
            translation:    SonataUserBundle

Now create your user admin class in your extended bundle ie ApplicationSonataUserBundle and extend your class with sonata's Sonata\\UserBundle\\Admin\\Model\\UserAdmin , now in configureFormFields() define your desired fields you want to add

use Sonata\UserBundle\Admin\Model\UserAdmin as BaseUserAdmin;
class UserAdmin extends BaseUserAdmin {
    protected function configureFormFields( FormMapper $formMapper ) {
     $formMapper->add('some field'); ...
     /** Do your stuff here */
    }
}

Or remove some of the fields :

use Sonata\UserBundle\Admin\Model\UserAdmin as BaseUserAdmin;
class UserAdmin extends BaseUserAdmin {
    protected function configureFormFields( FormMapper $formMapper ) {
        parent::configureFormFields($formMapper);
        $formMapper->remove('some field');
    }
}
