How to hide Publishing tab on front-end?

[cpaschen]

I often run into a front-end view (of an admin form) where the Publishing tab is displayed to users when it shouldn't be, even when in the component Permission settings, there are no fields listed for that form that the user group has access to (although not all fields are included in the permissions for that form).

Do I have to manually add all of the fields from the Publishing tab to my admin form just so that I can control permissions?

Right now I'm manually overriding the display of the form to just not display the Publishing tab (because it's not needed on the front-end for these forms ever).

This is another of those where I'm manually overriding JCB because there doesn't appear to be an easy way to remove the Publishing tab when it's completely not needed.
