Readme github.com/harsha-99-tech/role-based-menu-restrictions ↗

A WordPress Must-Use plugin (MU plugin) that restricts the WordPress admin menu for a specific user role.
It removes all default menus, then adds back only the ones you define.

📦 Installation

Clone or download this repository.
Copy the file role-based-menu-restrictions.php into: wp-content/mu-plugins/role-based-menu-restrictions.php

If the mu-plugins folder doesn’t exist, create it.

Edit the file and replace:

your_role_slug_here → your role (e.g., csr, editor, shop_manager).
my-plugin-slug, custom-panel-slug, etc. → the actual slugs of your plugins or pages.
Update icons, positions, and titles as needed.

Done! The plugin activates automatically and can’t be disabled via the dashboard.
