    I'd like to be able to set up my client as an editor, but with the ability to edit menus. I'm using the "User Role Editor" plugin and turned on "edit_theme_options", but if I do that, the Genesis options (Theme Settings, Import/Export, Simple Sidebars, and Theme README) also show up in the admin menu.

    Is there a way to hide that while still allowing the menus to be accessed and editable?

    Wouldn't that remove the Genesis admin menus for all users?


    @jodzeee
    , did you try just removing the Genesis admin options for that user?

    When you edit that user, you should see 3 checkboxes under Genesis Admin Menus", and you can disable any or all of those.

    Brilliant! I had no idea that was there ... this is the first time I've added a user with restricted access. Thanks so much!
