User Role Editor Pro version 4.12 was published at April, 22nd, 2014. The updates include:

• Use new “Admin Menu” button to block selected admin menu items for role (more details…).
• Posts/Pages edit restriction feature does not prohibit to add new post/page now. It should be managed via ‘create_posts’ or ‘create_pages’ user capabilities.
• If you use Posts/Pages edit restriction by author IDs, there is no need to add user ID to allow him edit his own posts or page. Current user is added to the allowed authors list automatically.
• New tab “Additional Modules” was added to the User Role Editor options page. As per name all options related to additional modules were moved there.
• Bug was fixed. It had prevented bulk move users without role (–No role for this site–) to the selected role in case such users were shown more than at one WordPress Users page.

Block WordPress admin menu items which offer extended functionality unneeded to current user – it’s possible with the help of User Role Editor Pro additional module. WordPress manages access to its administrator menu items by user capabilities. For example to use “Appearance” menu user should have ‘edit_theme_options’ or ‘switch_themes’ capabilities, to access “Settings” menu – ‘manage_options’ capability. You may manage this access with “User Role Editor” adding/removing capabilities to/from the roles or working directly with users. But what to do if you need to allow to user access to “Menus” item of “Appearance” submenu, but do not give him access to the “Widgets” from the same submenu? We can not do it via user capabilities as both menu items are managed by the same “edit_theme_options” user capability. Read more Block WordPress Admin Menu Items ›
