 * Hello hello
 * I was wondering if you’d consider adding a filter to the capability required 
   to access the Settings Page? (especially relevant in a multisite environment)
 * By default, it looks like you’re using ‘activate_plugins’ to control access to
   Settings->SSL; I’d love to filter this to restrict subsite settings to only Network
   Administrators in our environment.
 * (As an aside, I think ‘manage_options’ might be a more appropriate default than‘
   activate_plugins’.)
 * Cheers and thanks!

 * One benefit of this would be better integration between the Settings Menu and
   the “plusone” that Really Simple SSL can put on the parent-level “Settings” screen.
   I’m currently manually removing the “Settings->SSL” menu from Site Administrators,
   but this can result in Settings have a (1) next to it, with no “SSL” menu available
   beneath it and no way for Site Administrators to know where the (1) is coming
   from (or clear it).
 * Thanks again!

 * It has been added to the roadmap, I can’t say in which release it will be included
   yet.
 * Thanks for the suggestion!

 * Hi [@madtownlems](https://wordpress.org/support/users/madtownlems/),
 * We have a release ready, with the ‘manage_security’ capability:
    [https://github.com/really-Simple-Plugins/really-simple-ssl/](https://github.com/really-Simple-Plugins/really-simple-ssl/)
 * On updating to this version, each administrator will get the ‘manage_security’
   capability. You can then configure this to your liking with a role manager plugin.
 * Let me know if this works for you!

 * Hello again Rogier,
 * This sounds like a great solution. Thank you so much for implementing it, as 
   well as the follow-up.
 * Cheers
