 * Hey all, for some reason editors have access to my activity log via the admin
   dashboard. Is there any way to turn this off?

 * I confirmed the behavior on two different live sites as well as a local-install
   on my dev machine.
 * All three Editor accounts had access to the Activity Logs.

 * Hi, I’ve got this problem too, only admins and super admins should see the activity,
   could you fix this?

 * According to what I can find in the code, the capability that is required to 
   view this is `edit_pages` (an Editor roll capability) which I found in the `class-
   all-admin-ui.php` file but there doesn’t seem to be any filter or way to change
   it.
 * However, if your comfortable with code you can write a little plugin with this
   code in it:
 *     ```
       function prefix_remove_pages_below_admin() {
   
         if ( ! current_user_can( 'manage_options' ) ) {
   
       		remove_menu_page( 'activity_log_page' );
   
         }
       }
       add_action( 'admin_menu', 'prefix_remove_pages_below_admin', 100 );
       ```
   
 * This checks to see if the current user has permissions to `manage_options` (an
   Administrator roll capability) and if they do not, it will hid the menu. However
   if the user knows the url they can still get there, and its not a built in solution,
   so its not perfect. But it will work until the functionality is added.

 * Hey Eric, thanks. I agree it’s a passable patch until the functionality is added,
   but it’s better than nothing! Much appreciated.
