Go to “User Role Editor” Options page and turn on “Activate Administrator Menu Access module” option at the “Additional Modules” tab:Īfter that you will see new button “Admin Menu” at User Role Editor Pro toolbar (open “Users->User Role Editor” page and look to the right:Ĭlick on “Admin Menu” button to see the list of WordPress backend menu items available for currently selected role: In order to use “Administrator menu access” module you need to activate it. User Role Editor Pro includes “Administrator menu access” module which allows you block menu items for selected role turning on correspondent checkboxes, just like you do with user capabilities editing user role. But what to do if you need to allow to user access to “Menus” item of “Appearance” submenu, but do not give him access to the “Widgets” from the same submenu? We can not do it via user capabilities as both menu items are managed by the same “edit_theme_options” user capability. You may manage this access with “User Role Editor” adding/removing capabilities to/from the roles or working directly with users. For example to use “Appearance” menu user should have ‘edit_theme_options’ or ‘switch_themes’ capabilities, to access “Settings” menu – ‘manage_options’ capability. WordPress manages access to its administrator menu items by user capabilities.

Block WordPress admin menu items which offer extended functionality unneeded to current user – it’s possible with the help of User Role Editor Pro additional module.
