 * Thanks for what is shaping up to be a great plugin! Integration and setup is 
   quite easy.
 * I would like to see an option added that restricts viewing of analytics to users
   possessing a specific capability. Currently, subscribers to my site are able 
   to view all analytics. I have hacked the plugin as follows for the time being,
   so that I can manage this via a filter.
 * **Replaced Line 126 of `lara-google-analytics-dashboard-widget-pro.php`:**
 *     ```
       if ( current_user_can( apply_filters( 'lrga_read_analytics', 'read' ) ) ) {
   
           add_action( 'admin_notices', 'lrga_welcome_panel' );
   
       }
       ```
   
 * **Add following filter to control capability:**
 *     ```
       add_filter( 'lrga_read_analytics', 'twxyz_restrict_analytics' );
   
       function twxyz_restrict_analytics( $cap ) {
   
           return 'manage_options';
   
       }
       ```
   
 * _Note: This is the line number in the Pro Version._

 * UaMV,
 * Thanks for your nice comments .. really appreciated!
 * Thanks to you, I’ve just release a fix for that ‘v1.0.4’, by **replacing** :
 * > `if ( 'index.php' != $hook ){`
 * **to**
 * > `if ( 'index.php' != $hook || !current_user_can('manage_options')) {`
 * As this will also prevent the loading of the js & css files.
 * On a side note, in future versions there will be a complete permissions system.
 * Thanks,
    Amr

 * Nice! Thank you for the quick response. Will an update notification come through
   for the Pro version? When I purchased, I don’t think any account was setup by
   which I could downloaded an updated version.

 * Yes, you’ll be notified by email. Soon, we’ll be implementing an auto-update 
   feature for the pro-version too.
