  To remove those metaboxes from the post edit page for all user roles, add this code to your ‘functions.php’ file…

  // removes layout options and design options metaboxes
    function izzy_wizzy_lets_get_busy() {
      remove_meta_box('layout-options','post','side');
      remove_meta_box('design-options','post','side');
    }
    add_action('admin_head','izzy_wizzy_lets_get_busy');

  To remove those metaboxes from the post edit page for all user roles except administrators, add this code to your ‘functions.php’ file…

  // removes layout options and design options from all but administrators
  if (!current_user_can('manage_options')) {
    function izzy_wizzy_lets_get_busy() {
      remove_meta_box('layout-options','post','side');
      remove_meta_box('design-options','post','side');
    }
    add_action('admin_head','izzy_wizzy_lets_get_busy');
  }
