 * Hi, this plugin seam to be what i need but for a reason i do not understand i
   cannot find the way to hide menu for administrator role.
 * For example i try to hide **tools**, **settings** and **appearance** menu for
   the administrator. So for each i select in the **Required capability** field **
   super admin** so if i understand correctly only the super admin should see does
   menus right? If not can someone point me on the right direction 🙂

 * Ok, i just understand how it work. The menu was not hiding because you have to
   set the capability in the submenu too. So if you want to hide totaly a menu for
   a role you have to set all the submenu.
