Simply don’t work, sadly

BE VERY CAREFUL WITH THIS PLUGIN
by Gabor Lippert·3 years ago

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.

simple y útil

Como lo describe quita de la vista los menús que no queremos que vean ciertos roles, para mi es suficiente o lo que buscaba.
