Remove Dashboard Access for WordPress

The easiest and safest way to restrict access to your WordPress site’s Dashboard and administrative menus. Remove Dashboard Access is a lightweight plugin that automatically redirects users who shouldn’t have access to the Dashboard to a custom URL of your choosing. Redirects can also be configured on a per-role/per-capability basis, allowing you to keep certain users out of the Dashboard, while retaining access for others.

Limit Dashboard access to user roles:

Admins only

Admins + editors

Admins, editors, and authors

or restrict by specific user capability

Choose your own redirect URL

Optionally allow users to edit their profiles

Display a message on the login screen so users know why they’re being redirected

Allow specific admin pages through the redirect — paste a list of URLs your customers should still be able to reach (with wildcard support for grouping related pages)

Optionally extend the block to admin-ajax.php requests for stricter lockdown

Blocking access to the Dashboard is a great way to prevent clients from breaking their sites, prevent users from seeing things they shouldn’t, and to keep your site’s backend more secure.

Allow only users with roles or capabilities:

You can restrict Dashboard access to Admins only, Editors or above, Authors or above, or by selecting a specific user capability.
