Creating an custom admin page from scratch

Yes, WordPress does have plugins that allow you to create a custom admin page or dashboard with limited access — so that users (like other admins or staff) can access only selected features, not the full admin panel.

Recommended Plugins for Custom Admin Pages / Access Control

  1. Adminimize (Free)
  2. User Role Editor (Free + Pro)
  3. Admin Menu Editor (Free + Pro)
  4. WP Admin UI Customize

With these plugins you can do :

  • Create a simplified admin dashboard for specific roles.

  • Limit access to plugins, themes, settings, etc.

  • Add a custom admin page or widget with links or shortcodes.
