Hello,
1 - Best is to configure the default ACL in your HIkaMarket configuration page.
You will find two sections, one for the default ACL and another for the main vendor ACL (so your access as an Admin to manage the entire store).
2 - If you're connected as an Admin (as the "main vendor"), you can't block that.
But for your vendors you have a setting to limit te vendor to its "vendor category".
