   The links that are limited to admin, editor, author roles are being revealed to all logged in users since the upgrade to WordPress 3.0

   v2.2.13 still does not work properly e.g.

   1. <a title="editor+ role" href="http://saltaire-aa.org/news/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=page">Pages</a>|publish_pages
      - revealed to all logged in users, should be revealed only to editor and admin
   2. <a title="editor+ role" href="http://saltaire-aa.org/news/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=page">Pages</a>|true|publish_pages
      - revealed only to admin NOT editor
   3. <a title="editor+ role" href="http://saltaire-aa.org/news/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=page">Pages</a>|true |publish_pages
      - is this one (3) valid? Note only difference from example 2 is a space

   Your correct - just submitted a fix. Hopefully this will put an end to the issue. Consolidated both of those rules - so now you just need:

   |true = for admin
   |capability = for any capability

   Let me know if that sorts it for you.

   If I understand correctly...

   "http://www.mydomain.com/wp-admin/">Dashboard|true"

   will show Dashboard link only for admin

   If il write...

   "http://www.mydomain.com/wp-admin/">Dashboard|editor"

   will show Dashboard link only to editor

   If il write...

   "http://www.mydomain.com/wp-admin/">Dashboard|true|editor"

   will show Dashboard link only to admin and editor

   @zuzzurro

   since v2.2.14

   1 - correct
   2 - use capabilities instead use examples below
   3 - is an unnecessary duplication of tautology in v.2.2.13 it was afflicted by a bug and only allowed admin.

   <a href="http://example.com">link</a> | manage_links
   or
   <a href="http://example.com">link</a> | publish_pages

   anyone who has the capability - by default editor has both of these, as does admin

   for author you could use
   <a href="http://example.com">link</a> |publish_posts

   for contributor you could use

   <a href="http://example.com">link</a>|edit_posts

   the only way of hiding a link from an editor would be to give a capabilty to an author and NOT to an editor eg a custom capability based on say, membership of a special interest group. By default the set of capabilities for an author is a subset of the capabilities of an editor without any capabilities in an excluded set, and admin has them all, since even if a capability is not set for admin he/she has manage_roles (which is a custom capability defined by the role manager plugin) and can give themselves a capability
