Removing Prestashop Branding From Backend In V1.6.1.3

[Pr_beginner]

Hello everyone,

 

I am using prestashop to help a friend build an online store. He does not want his employees to know that the e-commerce platform being used is prestashop.

 

Can you please help me to remove all visible links in the backend in version 1.6.1.3 such that nothing leads back to prestashop. This is really important for the employees.

 

The main places are left hand top corner(pretashop logo+version number), footer in backend which appears on scroll down, help buton, connect to prestashop market place link on top and prestashop news(side bar).

 

Is it possible to restrict the backend modification to a specific employee profile such as logistician?

 

Finally, how to manage future updates? In wordpress we have child themes to takle this issue. Prestashop has anything like this?

 

Thank you all in advance. A quick reply is HIGHLY appreciated as Christmas is coming and we are trying to launch by then

 

Best,
