Remove Genesis admin menu access for Editor role

[pixelpushers]

Hi,

I'm building a site for a friend and trying to restrict what they have access to so they cant break the site.

I've created an Editor role for them.

Can anyone tell me how to remove access (visibility at least) to the Genesis menu just for Editor roles and below? I understand the below snippet in functions.php will remove it in general but I still want it to be visible to the Administrator role. Thanks in advance!

//* Remove Genesis menu link
remove_theme_support( 'genesis-admin-menu' );

This is completely untested but may work for you:

$user = wp_get_current_user();
$current_role = array( 'editor' );
if( array_intersect( $current_role, $user->roles ) ) {
add_action( 'admin_head', 'custom_admin_css' );
}

function custom_admin_css() {

echo '<style>
#adminmenu li.genesis-separator.wp-menu-separator ,
#adminmenu li.menu-top.toplevel_page_genesis {
     display: none;
}
</style>';

}

This should grab the current user's role and execute the css that will hide the Genesis menu if the user has the 'editor' role. Again, this is untested and only hides the menu, doesn't remove it completely.

Hope it helps!

EDIT: this goes in your functions.php.
