This plugin relies only on core WordPress capabilities. It was created to hide items to users independently from their assigned role as it let’s you decide who will or will not see the items based on his user name.
You can choose the items to remove, for example the Tools and the Plugins menu, from a list of predefined items. Additionally you can add your customized items.
Initially created for the marketing agency I am actually working, this plugin was needed to fix a bug we found were WordPress under unknown circustances keep asking to update its version to 2.9.2 while reporting that version 2.9.2 is installed. Moreover the agency needed to give “limited capabilities” to customers having administration privileges; Customers in fact, needs to be independent when its time to add a new user. At the same time, the agency wanted to avoid their customers “playing around” with the installed plugins, themes, tools and settings to reduce as much as they can urgent (and un-needed!) support requests.
Now available to everyone willing to keep the Administration pages for their customers as “simple” as possible.

Last year I tought it might be useful to have the myeasy common images and code loaded from a CDN to avoid having to update all the plugins in the series each time an image changes and to load pages faster; so I moved all the common items to a CDN . Today I received a kind email from wordpress.org letting me know that “there a potential malicious intent issue here as you {me} could change the files to embed malicious code and nobody would be the wiser” and asking me to change the code. I promptly reacted to show everyone that I am 101% in bona fide and here is a new version.
