Hi. I want to use CB blog as a homework assignment tab for my students, so I need to hide the button "Create Blog" from users and make it visible only for the administrator. Also, delete, edit and publish/unpublish menu I want to make with the same parameters. In other words I want my students to read the assignments without the right to create and edit them. Maybe, there is something special created for these purposes that I don't know yet. If yes, could you please help me to find right way to achieve my goal. Thanks.

Hi. I want to use CB blog as a homework assignment tab for my students, so I need to hide the button "Create Blog" from users and make it visible only for the administrator.

Change the create access to a different view access level within CB Blogs > Parameters > Blogs.

Also, delete, edit and publish/unpublish menu I want to make with the same parameters.

You can stop publish/unpublish toggling by setting blogs to require approval. It's not possible to remove the delete button without altering CB Blogs core code. You can remove the menu item from the template, but it won't stop the URL endpoint.

In other words I want my students to read the assignments without the right to create and edit them. Maybe, there is something special created for these purposes that I don't know yet. If yes, could you please help me to find right way to achieve my goal. Thanks.

You maybe better off using CB Articles then just using Joomla to create the assignments and assign the owner as the user you want to assign it to. CB Articles has no management features so there's no risk of edit, delete, etc...
