Timetable admin menu showing for all users

    If I create a user that only has the read capability, like the basic Subscriber role, and log in, I see a Timetable item on the admin menu. There is a single item, “Help.”

    This is not ideal. Please consider only adding the admin menu item for users that can activate_plugins or edit_published_posts instead of all users.

    Hi @salzano,
    Unfortunately there is not special account role for TimeTable with restricted access to the dashboard. Though you can do this on your own using User Role Editor https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-role-editor/
    You may additionally install Adminimize plugin to restrict access to any section of the dashboard in the most flexible way https://wordpress.org/plugins/adminimize/

    We’d highly appreciate if you review TimeTable plugin https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/mp-timetable/reviews/

    I did not ask for you to add a custom role to the plugin, and it sounds like you didn’t test the situation I described above.

    This plugin does use conditional checks to include the submenu items, because when logged in as an admin, I see:

    Timetable
>Events
>Add event
>Columns
>Add column
>Event categories
>Event tags
>Settings
>Export / import
>Help

    This is expected. When logged in as a Subscriber, or any user who has only the read capability, which is often the most common type of user, I see this:

    Timetable
>Help

    By marking this topic as resolved, are you suggesting this is expected behavior? That your plugin menu show with only a help item? To users who have no idea what the plugin is or does?

    I believe the right thing to do is to use the same conditions that prevent all the submenu items from showing to a Subscriber to prevent the entire admin menu Timetable from displaying to users who cannot use your plugin’s features.
