  • BE VERY CAREFUL WITH THIS PLUGIN

    Why? Because it doesn't work ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ You can easily check this: - create a new role with the User Role Editor plugin - assign the new role to a user - use this plugin to disable, for instance, the Plugin screens - open an incognito window, and log in with the previously updated user's credentials - go to the plugin screen by using it's url instead of the hidden menu item - sheesh, no access restriction. A role restriction plugin that doesn't really restrict the access doesn't make sense, and it's extremely dangerous if a plugin user and site owner is not careful enough, and thorough with the testing.

  • simple y útil

    Como lo describe quita de la vista los menús que no queremos que vean ciertos roles, para mi es suficiente o lo que buscaba.

  • Can't remove items from top bar menu

    If you add this function maybe consider a better rating

  • Works great except for 1 menu item

    Super easy and clean. Works great. However it did not seem to work on hiding the "Profile" item in the menu. Though, neither did any of the other plugins I tried.
