I am trying to: hide toolset menu from administration sidebar, when working the onle administrators have access to TOOLSET


function remove_menus(){
  remove_menu_page( 'index.php' );                  //Dashboard
  remove_menu_page( 'about.php' );                  //welcome 
  remove_menu_page('wpcf');   //have tried this as an types example also not working
  remove_action('welcome_panel', 'wp_welcome_panel');
    if( !current_user_can( 'administrator' ) ) {
        remove_action( 'admin_menu', 'cptui_plugin_menu' );
    }
}
add_action( 'admin_menu', 'remove_menus' );
add_filter('show_admin_bar', '__return_false');

Link to a page where the issue can be seen:
user login restricted
I expected to see:
toolset menu been removed (could be as if not administrator)
Instead, I got: toolset TOOLSET menu still visible

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - could you please try to use the following code, add that to your current theme's functions.php file:


function remove_toolset_menus(){
	global $current_user;
	
    if(!in_array('administrator',$current_user->roles)) {
		remove_menu_page('toolset-dashboard'); 
	}
}
add_action( 'admin_menu', 'remove_toolset_menus' , PHP_INT_MAX );

If you don't want to add custom code to your current theme's function.php file, Toolset also offers a place where you can add your custom code. Please check following Doc:

Hi Minesh,
I have the same problem. I would like to hide Toolset from administration sidebar for my custom roles.
I created this role via copy of administrator role.
I added your code in this way => https://toolset.com/documentation/adding-custom-code/using-toolset-to-add-custom-code/
Run it and enabled, but Toolset is still visible in this menu in this custom role user 🙁

Please write me how can I fix it.

Best regards!
