I’d like to restrict some admins so that they can only access the Ads tab of the Theme Panel, is there a plugin that will work for this?

They need to be able add new users so I cannot change them from Administrators 🙁

Hello,

Sorry but in order to modify a user’s permissions you will have to edit the theme files and change the code so you can add or remove panels for different users. Unfortunately we have not tested this as our theme does not change the default user roles and capabilities of wordpress. Our own custom theme panel is either available or not for a particular user. You cannot make custom parts of it disappear for specific users. It can be done but with the help of a developer.
Here is an example of how the user roles are used in our theme: https://www.screencast.com/t/Timyqw2bD1Lf
They are based on this function: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/current_user_can

Thank you!
