    Hi Luis,

    You may block unneeded menu items, which protected by the necessary (you can not revoke them from the role) capabilities like ‘edit_posts’ using “Admin Menu Access” add-on:
    https://www.role-editor.com/block-admin-menu-items
    These restrictions are applied to the user role, not to the user.

    I activate Admin Menu Access but i don’t see where can i quit the comments from the left menu.

    Also i don’t see where can i hide the plugins that i need to hide.

    Go to the “Users->User Role Editor”. Select the role of your user. Click ‘Admin Menu” button and turn ON menu items which you wish to hide from this role.

    I don’t find the “admin menú” button into Users->User Role Editor.

    You can see it here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/23760098/userrole.jpg

    Hi Luis,

    You should activate this add-on at “Settings->User Role Editor->Additional Modules” tab. Then you will see “Admin menu” button at “Users->User Role Editor”.

    Hi, see this image: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/23760098/role.jpg

    You can see in top screen what i see when i Access to admin menu, where i don’t see the options to desactivate plugin Access.

    In the bottom screen, you see the menu for a subscriber user, where i don’t want to show menu options like portfolio, testimonials, select slider, select carousel, menús, comentarios, custom css&js, contacto, perfil, herramientas, maquetador visual.

    Do you know what can i do to disable this options in the menu for the subscribers?

    Regards.

    Luis.

    Hi Luis,

    Show a screenshot of the page with this user capabilities: go to the ‘Users’ menu and click ‘Capabilities’ link under this user role. I’m sure that this user has more capabilities or even roles than just a ‘Subscriber’ one. User should see just ‘Dashboard’ and ‘Profile’ menu items with the only ‘Subscriber’ role.

    Here you have the new screenshot: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/23760098/capabilities.jpg

    In number 1, you can see the capabilities of the user in the network, and in number 2 you can see the capabilities of the user in the site of the network where he can do actions.

    This user i want that only can create posts, update his posts and delete his posts, and too add media documents like images, PDF… but i don’t want to show the thigs that you see in yesterday screenshot.

    I don’t know what can i do.

    Thanks.

    Luis.

    You are at 1 step from the needed solution:
    – Revoke capabilities you gave directly to colegioinfantil user.
    – Grant him the same capabilities via role at that site. You may create a new role as a copy of the subscriber role and add edit posts capabilities set to it.
    – After that open “Admin menu” for that role: you will see all available menu items from yesterday screenshot and may select unneeded menu items to block them.
