 * Hi Frank,
 * I came across your plugin while searching for a way to restrict certain admins
   from accessing specific menu items on the admin dashboard.
 * I tested it on the Admin role, because one of the plugins we’re using is only
   available to admins and no other roles. However, this particular admin role has
   only one responsibility so we need to restrict just their admin role from all
   other menu items without restricting all other admins from the rest of the admin
   dashboard menu options.
 * Please explain how we can accomplish this with your plugin so that only the one
   admin is restricted and all other admins are not restricted…?
 * Thank you,
    Robert

 * Thats is not possible in this context. You need a separatly role for the “second”
   admin role. Use the plugin Members and clone your admin role for all other “admins.
   Now you have two roles, all capabilities like the admin role. And now you can
   hide areas for this second admin role.

 * Hi, I have the same problem as this and I installed Members plugin as suggested
   above and cloned the admin role and named in Moderator.
 * However the Moderator option is not showing and I can’t hide areas for users 
   that has Moderator role.
 * Please see screenshot below

 * Hi lamperouge, I ended up getting one of my WP developers to solve my issue.
 * Let me know if you need help getting this resolved for less than $100.00USD?

 * You have an area right from the default roles. Have you add an name in Members
   for this new role, cloned from the Admin role?
