Only show selected menus in admin

[Ivan Gretsky]

Good day!

I need to make custom admin interface for specific user role. I want them to only see those menus and menu items I selected. I do not want them to see "Pages". I plan to use custom Process modules under custom admin menu.

But I do want to use PageEdit admin interface for editing pages. To make it possible, I have to set edit permission to the pages they are to edit. But that uncovers "Pages" menu for them.

How can I achieve that, still using defaul or Reno admin theme? Or is it preferable to make my own?

You could build upon https://github.com/Da-Fecto/CustomHomeRedirect.

You could select a page in the configurable interface to redirect to. There's no support for that module however.

Thanks. Your module does redirect the user where it is needed. Bit I still have the "Pages" menu visible. How can I get rid of it?

Place something alike in your init and user with role 'your-role' won't see Pages
 

$this->addHookAfter('Page::viewable', function($event) {
    // 3 is the ID of Pages
    if ($event->object->id === 3 && $this->user->hasRole('your-role')) {
        $event->return = false;
    }
});

ps, code is not tested...
