Proper plugin screen access (1 post)

    I'm writing a plugin that has submenus in the dashboard;
    Plugin Name
    - Plugin Dashboard
    - plugin options
    - plugin do something
    - plugin do something else.

    In coding the menu items above, I limit whether or not the subpages are viewable or not by using the capability option in the add_submenu_page() function. So far so good.

    In the code for those sub-pages, is it good practice to add a is_user_logged_in() check? Also, should I then go ahead and check the user has the correct access?

    As a person can type in a page address directly in the URL bar, I want to make sure I'm securing my plugin pages properly without doing anything that's not necessary.
