Go to user group manager / supermods
Scroll down to the administrator permissions are
Select YES for can access control panel
Save

Go to user groups / admin permissions
Click on edit permissions (will have to do this one by one)
Adjust permissions (can admin blog and can admin blog permission to NO )
Save

Test and report back here if it works.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Unfortunately, that does not work. Following all your instructions, Supermoderators can still see private blog posts (actually all the admin permissions were set to No by default). They just can't edit or otherwise moderate them them.
