Remove admin menus by role

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 56% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   Why? Because it doesn’t work ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ You can easily check this: – create a new role with the User Role Editor plugin – assign the new role to a user – use this plugin to disable, for instance, the Plugin screens – open an incognito window, and log in with the previously updated user’s credentials – go to the plugin screen by using it’s url instead of the hidden menu item – sheesh, no access restriction. A role restriction plugin that doesn’t really restrict the access doesn’t make sense, and it’s extremely dangerous if a plugin user and site owner is not careful enough, and thorough with the testing.

   Super easy and clean. Works great. However it did not seem to work on hiding the “Profile” item in the menu. Though, neither did any of the other plugins I tried.

   Hola, Nos parece un plugin simple y práctico la verdad. Además no presenta conflictos aparentes con ningún plugin como nos ha pasado con otros. El problema está en que no elimina dichos menús solo los oculta. Entiendo, que eliminar, no lo toman en el sentido literal, pero si entiendo que, por cuestiones de seguridad, no puedan tener acceso usuarios que no tengan permisos de acceso, y eso no ha pasado con este plugin. Queríamos no permitir que el usuario visualizara el dashboard, en cambio, si se introduce la dirección del mismo en la barra de direcciones, el usuario seguirá teniendo acceso a el de manera sencilla, algo que es inadmisible y afecta a la seguridad y privacidad. Por esa razón le damos 3 estrellas… Pues, hay que mejorar ese aspecto para que no sean visibles ni por barra de dirección los items ocultados del admin.
