As side note, rather than checking for a role, you should:

• Create a user permission you assign to a specific role you use for those users who should see that page/view
• Through the user interface, create a new role you assign just to those users who should see that page/view

To create a new user permission, your module needs to implement hook_permission() (Drupal 7.x) or hook_perm() (Drupal 6.x or previous). In your specific case, the permission would be two:

• View own info page
• View any info page

This is similar to what the Node module does, which defines the following permissions for each content type: edit own $type content and edit any $type content.

In your case, you cannot use user_access() as access callback, since that function can just check a single permission, which is then applied to every user. The code you would use should be similar to the following one.

function hide_tabs_user_info_access($account) { global $user; if ($account->uid == $user->uid) { // The logged-in user is viewing the page for their own account. return user_access('view own info page', $account); } else { // The logged-in user is viewing somebody else's page. return user_access('view any info page', $account); } // The previous lines can be simplified to the following one. // $permission = ($account->uid == $user->uid ? 'view own info page' : 'view any info page'); // return user_access($permission, $account); } 

This is the code I would write.

function hide_tabs_module_implements_alter(&$implementations, $hook) { if ($hook == 'menu') { $group = $implementations['hide_tabs']; unset($implementations['hide_tabs']); $implementations['hide_tabs'] = $group; } } function hide_tabs_menu_alter(&$items) { if (isset($items['user/%user/infos'])) { $items['user/%user/infos']['access callback'] = ''; $items['user/%user/infos']['access arguments'] = array(1); } } function hide_tabs_user_info_access($account) { global $user; $permission = ($account->uid == $user->uid ? 'view own info page' : 'view any info page'); return user_access($permission, $account); } 

(I will leave as exercise the implementation of hook_permission().)

Another error in your code is checking in hook_menu_alter() if the currently logged-in user has a role. That doesn't work because hook_menu_alter() is not always invoked; it is invoked when the information returned from hook_menu() needs to be re-build. You are not checking the role the logged-in user has, but the role of the user who is logged-in when Drupal re-builds the hook_menu() information.
