CC Admin Menu Control

CC Admin Menu Control gives every role exactly the admin area it needs — nothing more. Built for agencies and freelancers who hand WordPress sites over to clients, associations or editorial teams.

Menu visibility by role

• Every role in a collapsible accordion, with a live counter of visible items.
• Tick the sidebar menu items (and sub-items) each role may see; everything else is hidden.
• Search filter, “check all / uncheck all”, automatic parent / child consistency.
• Administrators always keep the full menu.

Hidden really means hidden

• Hidden pages are also blocked when opened through a direct link (e.g. /wp-admin/plugins.php ): the user gets an “Access denied” screen.
• If the Dashboard is hidden, users land on the first page they are allowed to see.

Capabilities that follow the menu

Ticking a menu item only lets it be displayed: WordPress still checks the role’s capabilities. Turn on “Automatically grant the required capabilities” and the plugin gives the role exactly what the checked items need (e.g. Pages → edit, publish and delete pages), and removes it again when you untick the item.

• Sensitive capabilities (site settings, plugins, themes, updates, user management, import/export) are never granted without your explicit consent.
• Capabilities the role already had are never removed.
• A live summary shows what will be added or removed before you save, and a lock icon flags every item the role cannot use yet.

Notifications & WordPress info

Per role, hide:

• plugin pop-ups, promotional and review-request banners, help bubbles (pointers) and Freemius notices;
• WordPress update and maintenance alerts, the “Welcome” panel, the “WordPress Events and News” and “Site Health Status” widgets, the WordPress logo in the admin bar, the Help tab and the footer text.
