Hi
I want to deactivate & hide the Newspaper tab in Admin Panel for other Admins on my website so they won’t be able to change any of these settings at all. Since I need to give other users full access to create new pages & posts using Visual Composer I need to create other users as ‘Admin’ & not as ‘Editor’. Editor user in my site is unable to create new page or post.
Can you tell me how to achieve this?
I liked this theme a lot & in next month also I am going to purchase one more for my personal website. In that also I need same setting. If not possible in this version I request you to make such provision in next upgrade.
The setting right below Admin is supposed to have rights to edit, change posts, unless you have plugin or function which broke that. Admin level allows adding plugins, removing plugins, changing main settings, changing theme. The user role below that allows all content options except main “admin” functions.
Summary of Roles
Super Admin – somebody with access to the site network administration features and all other features. See the Create a Network article.
Administrator – somebody who has access to all the administration features within a single site.
Editor – somebody who can publish and manage posts including the posts of other users.
Author – somebody who can publish and manage their own posts.
Contributor – somebody who can write and manage their own posts but cannot publish them.
Subscriber – somebody who can only manage their profile.

You can create a new user role, or change the setting of each user role.
But “editor” by default can make changes.
To change the settings for Visual Composer, which is not part of the theme or WordPress, you can change the user roles for Visual Composer also.
There is a wealth of documentation for VC, which is worth reviewing at some point :-0

Hope that helps 🙂
Got it. Thanks for your reply. One of my plugin ‘User Submitted Posts’ was making some issues while creating posts by Editors.
Great job. Keep it up!
