 * Is there a way to restrict admin interface to a specific user? (me)
    There are
   other admins.

 * This is a tricky feature request, I am not completely sure but I think any user
   account with administrative privileges could be able to change any option set
   by other user so adding a new option may not work. Also, if the main admin user
   forgets to disable the _“Plugin & Theme Editor”_ another user with access to 
   that tool may edit the plugin to remove the restriction.
 * I do not think there is a way to implement this with 100% accuracy, may be easier
   to change the role of the other admin users to give them less privileges over
   the whole interface. I will see if I can find something in the wild.

 * For anyone reading this:
    This plugin is released here, on WP.org: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-sucuri/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-sucuri/)
 * Just define one user in your wp-config.php:
 *     ```
       define( 'O1_SUCURI_USER', 'your-username' );
       ```
