About AdminForge Admin Management Toolkit
From the official readme · v1.0.1Description
AdminForge Admin Management Toolkit (Free) helps site owners clean up the WordPress admin area without editing theme files or writing custom code.
This version focuses on practical day-to-day admin improvements:
- Hide admin menu items per role.

- Hide the front-end admin bar for selected roles.
All settings are available from a single screen under Settings -> Admin Toolkit.

-
Admin menu control
- Detects currently registered admin menu slugs.
- Lets you hide selected menu items for each role.
- Helpful for reducing clutter for editors, authors, and shop managers.
-
Dashboard widget manager

Usage
- Open Settings -> Admin Toolkit.
- Choose a tab:
