 * I would like users with the role ‘Editor’ to be able to manage ‘Theme Options’
 *  I’m able to do that with:
 *     ```
       $editor = get_role('editor');
       $editor->add_cap('edit_theme_options');
       ```
   
 * But it also allows access to ‘OptionTree’ settings and other settings under the‘
   Appearance’ menu (Themes, Menus, etc). I don’t want any of that, only ‘Theme 
   Options’.
 * How could that be done?
 * Thanks!

 * There is a filter named `ot_theme_options_capability` which allows you to change
   the capability. You could create a custom capability and add it to the roles 
   you want to have access then change the filter to use that capability.
