Description

Mloun MenuScope lets you clean up the WordPress dashboard for clients and team members:

Hide menus per role or user — the menu disappears but the URL stays reachable.
Hide & block menus per role or user — direct URL access is denied with a 403 error.
Drag & drop menu ordering — reorder top-level menus and submenus per role or user. Submenus are collapsible in the editor.
Rename menus per role or user — give any admin menu or submenu a custom label for a specific role or user.
Hide plugins per role or user — hidden plugins vanish from the Plugins screen and cannot be deactivated, deleted or updated by them. You can hide Mloun MenuScope itself.
Hide users — selected users become invisible to everyone else: they disappear from the Users screen, author dropdowns, and their profile page cannot be opened directly. They can still log in and work normally. You can hide yourself.
User settings override role settings — when both a role and a user have settings for the same section, the user settings win completely.

Find it under Settings MenuScope.

All strings are translatable (text domain: mloun-menroscope). Community translations are managed at translate.wordpress.org.

FAQ

What is the difference between “Hide” and “Block”?: “Hide” only removes the menu item from the sidebar; the page can still be opened via its URL. “Block” additionally blocks the URL with a 403 error.
What happens when a role and a user both have settings?: The user settings take priority: any section (menus, plugins, renames) configured for the user completely replaces the same section from their roles.
Can I lock myself out?: Users with the manage_options capability always keep access to the MenuScope settings page.
How do I undo settings for a role or user?: On the Menus or Plugins tab, click “Delete” next to the role/user in the “Configure for” box.
