Is there any extension that creates a user who can log in, navigate as Author but can not change anything? So I create a user demo to show to other customers =)

See Author Roles extension (or something like that). You can create a Role that can only view but not add/edit/delete entries.

Notice that I think the Author Roles extension simply disables editing by JS. Meaning that a tech-savvy (nosy) user could probably hack his way around the site quite easily!

Ahh, yes, it does that. Forgot about it.

It might be fine when the data is not very sensitive and the users/audience not very tech-savy but good to keep in mind.

i believe the new version of author roles (as opposed to its predecessor, author section) doesn't have this shortcoming.

Thanks guys! This Author Roles works fine for me, the users will be only some new clients looking how the back-end works.

Thanks for all! =)
