You can do this by altering the feature.
Go to:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server
extensions\12\TEMPLATE\FEATURES\SiteSettings
and look at SiteSettings.xml. Y
You will see each of the possible items and
what restrictions are applied to them.
Here's an example:
<CustomAction
Id="SaveAsTemplate"
GroupId="Customization"
Location="Microsoft.SharePoint.SiteSettings"
Rights="AddAndCustomizePages,BrowseDirectories,ManagePermissions,ManageSubwe
bs,ManageWeb,UseRemoteAPIs,ViewFormPages"
Sequence="60"
Title="$Resources:SiteSettings_SaveAsTemplate_Title;">
<UrlAction
Url="_layouts/savetmpl.aspx" />
</CustomAction>
Note that the sequence numbers were moved by 10, which is the positioning.
Note as in III.04 the possibility of using
RequireSiteAdministrator="TRUE"
to restrict this addition to the General Settings to the Site Administrator.
