## Description

BTN Admin Restrictor is a lightweight, secure tool designed for developers and agency
owners who need to simplify the WordPress dashboard for clients or other administrators.

Unlike global restriction plugins, this tool allows you to select a specific administrator
and choose exactly which sidebar menus they can see. It is perfect for “hiding” 
complex settings or third-party plugin menus from users who don’t need to see them.

#### Key Features

 * **Per-User Control:** Select any administrator and customize their unique dashboard
   view.
 * **Smart Detection:** Automatically detects menus from newly installed plugins.
 * **Stealth Mode:** Option to hide the restrictor plugin itself from the menu list.
 * **Safety First:** Built-in caution notices prevent you from accidentally locking
   yourself out.
 * **Developer Friendly:** Fully prefixed to prevent conflicts and built with modern
   WordPress security standards (Nonces, Sanitization, and Escaping).

## Installation

 1. Upload the `btn-admin-restrictor` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
 3. Go to ‘BTN Admin Restrictor’ in your sidebar to begin configuring permissions.

## FAQ

### Can I hide the plugin from myself?

Yes, but the plugin will show a red caution notice if you select your own account.
If you hide it, you can still access the settings via the direct URL.

### Does this change user roles?

No. It only hides the menu items from the sidebar UI. The user remains an Administrator.
