 * Hello.
 * AAM has been working great helping simplify the interface for clients, but I 
   was wondering why the menu item of the Activity Log plugin ([https://www.wordpress.org/plugins/aryo-activity-log/](https://www.wordpress.org/plugins/aryo-activity-log/))
   doesn’t show among the menu options you can hide in AAM. Any ideas?
 * Thanks
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Factivity-log-plugin-menu%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi [@idearius](https://wordpress.org/support/users/idearius/),
 * Based on just a quick research, apparently your user or role has to have **view_all_aryo_activity_log**
   capabilities granted in order to access Activity Log. That is why you might not
   see if for certain roles or users on Backend Menu tab.

 * Thanks for your answer, Vasyl.
 * I guess admin users have to have it, but the menu item is still present for the
   Editor (WordPress) and Store Manager (WooCommerce) roles.
 * Can it be taken out of the way somehow? It’s useless for non-admin roles.
 * Best.

 * Ok, I’ve just checked the source code for this plugin and apparently the **view_all_aryo_activity_log**
   is not the only capability that allows access to this menu. The **edit_pages**
   is another. So if any of your users have one of the mentioned capabilities checked,
   then he/she will see this menu.
 * I would suggest to just restrict access to the Activity Logs menu on the Backend
   Menu tab and you should be good to go. As an option, you can just switch to [Manage Default Settings](https://aamplugin.com/help#manage-default-access)
   and restrict access to the Activity Logs menu for all users. Then simply override
   this restriction for your administrator role. This way everybody except your 
   administrator will no longer be able to see or access the Activity Logs.
 * Keep me updated if anything.

    Vasyl

 * This is really strange. The Administrator role has the edit_pages capability,
   yet in the Users/Roles Manager, the Backend Menu section allows the Activity 
   Logs menu item to be hidden only for the Administrator role. For all other roles
   it is not an option.
 * Trying the hide-all + unhide-for-one option seems a little risky, so I guess 
   I’ll stay put until I can test it in a safe environment.
 * Thanks again for the follow-up.
