Hide sidebar menu/link from other users

    Hi Robert,

    I love your plugin. After trying so many login redirect plugins, all of them caused problems with nginx and varnish setups – yours seems to work perfectly.

    There is one thing I’d like to do that doesn’t seem to work. I use a plugin called Admin Menu Editor to hide certain plugin menus from users and clients. However, it doesn’t seem to hide your plugin. (I create users who can also activate/deactivate some plugins).

    I was wondering if you’d consider adding an extra option on your settings page with a check box that says something like:

    Only this user can manage plugin.

    Or the option to add users who can manage plugin.

    If this was possible that would be great.

    Thanks again for such a powerful plugin.

    Hi dmori,

    Apologies, I’ve only just noticed your topic, it appears WP.org doesn’t notify plugin authors of new support threads.

    It’s an interesting idea which I may try some things out with.

    At the moment, a user needs the ‘add_users’ capability in order to see the menu item, meaning only users with the full administrator role could see it and access the page. Are you granting your clients this level of access?

    Cheers,
    Robert

    Hi Robert,

    Thanks for getting back to me.

    Yes, I am granting clients this access level. They can also activate/deactivate plugins. What they cannot do is update/delete themes or plugins or update core.

    I could add an option allowing you to specify the required capability (such as ‘update_core’) in the next update, but be aware it would default to ‘add_users’ until that option has been set.

    That would be perfect 🙂
