hi there,
I am working on a wp site for one of my clients where I need to give restricted access to other Admin Users.
I mean I want to limit capabilities of an Admin User, that is want to remove few of the capabilities for admin role which are their by default, if he is anyone other than me say ‘XYZ’?
Regards,

Thanks for your response but don’t want to use any plugin and the other thing is I want to restrict it only for specif users and not all of the users belonging to Admin Group .. will be hiding few menu options and then want to make sure that the users don’t have access to those hidden options even if they enter a direct URL.

Yes, this plugin does exactly that for the Admin Panel options and menus. If you would like to code directly, that is possible inside functions.php, just refer to
