    capabilitied to my user role editor to restrict access to contact form 7

    “Contact Form 7” plugin declares own custom user capabilities and protects its admin menu this way:

    Contact wpcf7_read_contact_forms
    Contact Forms wpcf7_read_contact_forms
    Add New wpcf7_edit_contact_forms
    Integration wpcf7_manage_integration

    But really plugins maps them to these WordPress built-in capabilities:

    
'wpcf7_edit_contact_form' => 'publish_pages',
'wpcf7_edit_contact_forms' => 'publish_pages',
'wpcf7_read_contact_forms' => 'edit_posts',
'wpcf7_delete_contact_form' => 'publish_pages',
'wpcf7_manage_integration' => 'manage_options'

    So you can use these built-in capabilities to manage access to the “Contact” menu.
    If you wish to use another capabilities it’s possible to change this mapping via filter ‘wpcf7_map_meta_cap’. This filter takes a single parameter – array with a default mapping of user capabilities, like shown above.
