User Admin Simplifier

by Adam Silverstein

Version: 1.0.0

Download
Description

Lets any Administrator simplify the WordPress Admin interface, on a per-user basis. Hide any specific menu or submenu (including in the admin bar) or hide the admin bar entirely.

Install User Admin Simplifier either via the WordPress.org plugin directory, or by uploading the files to your server
That’s it. You’re ready to go! To edit your users menus, go to Tools->User Admin Simplifier

Submenus are now available for disabling. Note that disabling a top level menu removes it, no submenu items will be available. On the other hand, disabling all submenu items does not disable the top level menu.

Unininstalling and deleting the plugin will remove all of its settings.

  1. Choose a user to edit their menus

    Choose a user to edit their menus

  2. Check the menu section to disable. Click 'Save Changes' to apply your settings. Click 'Clear User Settings' to reset the disabled menus for the selected user.

    Check the menu section to disable. Click 'Save Changes' to apply your settings. Click 'Clear User Settings' to reset the disabled menus for the selected user.

Does it work with WordPress Multisite?

Yes! In a multisite install, User Admin Simplifier works as follows:

  • plugin works on a per site/user basis
  • logging into dashboard for a specific site and visiting the plugin admin only shows the users with access to that site
  • restricting menus for users works as expected and disables menus for user on that site only
  • disabling menus for a user only affects current site. user’s menus remain unaffected in other sites

Perfect plugin

Perfect for basic usage! Not updated since 2 years ago (!!) but works like a charm! Way easier than capabilities and user roles settings.

Role-based tab management works!

Great job. Finally managed to disable the woocommerce settings tab for the product manager role.

A must have!

It seems to still work fine.

Still Working with WP 4.9.5

By flyingkites on May 16, 2018

Had a couple of issues i noted on the support forum but it is still working and those issues are no big deal.

Even Works on Admin Roles !!

By Pigo3934blog on May 22, 2017

FIVE Stars for this Fantastic plugin. ============= I typically do not post a review, but I HAD to this time. So many of the other "User Role" plugins only allow you to manipulate roles that are NON-Admin. Which then causes a problem when the client calls and wants to know why their role is not showing a status of "Admin". With THIS plugin we can now show them that they ARE an "Admin without having to tell them they are actually restricted. Thanks for this one.

excellent

this is exactly what i search for many weeks. Very thank you for this plugin.

Really, really useful.... Maybe, hopefully an update?

By Dirk DV (alfablue) on October 17, 2016

Hi there, I'm really happy I found this plugin. It's very very useful!!!! I'm using it with WordPress 4.6.1 and in general it works. A couple of groups are not recognized and don't show any description. Any chance of an update? Pretty please... I can't imagen nobody else is waiting for this! Hoping for a possitive reaction... Kind regards, AlfaBlue

Works well
