Zicstack Client Handoff Zicstack Client Handoff is a WordPress plugin by Zicstack for structured developer-to-client handoff. It locks down the admin for non-technical clients without locking out the developer — enforced role-based restrictions, cosmetic simplification, and a clean operational dashboard. What it does Enforcement layer — hard restrictions that survive UI bypass attempts: - Capability filter (userhascap): strips install/activate/delete/edit/update capabilities for configured roles at the WordPress filter level. - Screen guard (currentscreen): blocks access to prohibited admin screens and calls wpdie() with a developer-contact message. - Plugin protection (pluginactionlinks + admininit): removes deactivate/delete action links and intercepts direct HTTP requests — bulk and single. Cosmetic layer — non-destructive simplification applied unconditionally to configured roles: - Menu hiding (adminmenu priority 999): removes top-level and submenu items per role using a slug map. Pipe-separated slugs (parent|child) target submenus. - Admin bar simplification (wpbeforeadminbarrender): strips all nodes except a configurable keep set (default: site-name, edit, my-account).
