Overview

A WordPress dashboard can fill up with menu items that many users never need. Editors, authors and subscribers end up scrolling past settings that have nothing to do with their work, and sensitive options sit within easy reach. This plugin lets you remove those items from view for specific roles, so each person sees a dashboard that matches their tasks.

You set it up from a settings panel where you choose which menus are visible to administrators, editors, authors, contributors or subscribers. No code is involved. It suits teams, client sites and membership platforms where several people share one backend, and it also works for a simpler blog. It supports multisite networks as well, so menu visibility can be managed across different sites and roles.

Features

  • Role-based menu visibility: Hide specific admin menu items for different user roles, so each group sees only the parts of the dashboard that are relevant to its work.
  • Simple settings panel: Configure which menus show or hide through a user-friendly settings panel. You do not need any coding skills to make changes.
  • Control for every core role: Decide what administrators, editors, authors, contributors and subscribers can see, giving you fine control over each level of access.
  • Cleaner dashboard focus: Remove unnecessary or distracting menu items so users can concentrate on the tasks and content that matter to them.
  • Sensitive options out of reach: Hide menus from lower-level users to keep sensitive admin options out of sight and reduce accidental changes to important settings.
  • Works with themes and plugins: Designed to work with a wide range of WordPress themes and plugins without conflicts, so it fits into existing setups.
  • Light on resources: Built to have minimal impact on loading speed, so the backend stays responsive while menus are customized.
  • Multisite support: Manage menu visibility across different sites and user roles within a WordPress multisite network.
