Maestro lets you orchestrate the appearance of the WordPress admin menu.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Instead of a separate settings screen, Maestro turns the admin menu into something you edit in place<\/em> \u2014 right where it lives.

Your custom menu configuration is stored as a sparse delta (just the differences) layered over the menu WordPress builds on each load.

The underlying admin page still loads for anyone who knows or types its URL if they're authorized to see it. That's because a page's own registered capability<\/strong> is the true lock. Maestro operates on the menu (presentation), which is a different plane from authorization.<\/p>\n\n If you need to actually prevent access<\/em>, pair Maestro with a capability manager like PublishPress Capabilities<\/a>**.
