What the author says it does

Admin Menu Editor lets you manually edit the Dashboard menu. You can reorder the menus, show/hide specific items, change permissions, and more.

Features

• Change menu titles, URLs, icons, CSS classes and so on.
• Organize menu items via drag & drop.
• Change menu permissions by setting the required capability or role.
• Move a menu item to a different submenu.
• Create custom menus that point to any part of the Dashboard or an external URL.
• Hide/show any menu or menu item. A hidden menu is invisible to all users, including administrators.

The Pro version lets you set per-role menu permissions, hide a menu from everyone except a specific user, export your admin menu, drag items between menu levels, make menus open in a new window and more. Try online demo.

Additional Features

Despite the name, this plugin is not limited to just editing the admin menu. You can also:

• Create login redirects and logout redirects.
• Allow/deny access to specific posts based on user roles.
• Hide plugins on the Plugins -> Installed Plugins page from other users.
• Edit the display name, description, and other plugin details shown on the Plugins -> Installed Plugins page (e.g. for white-labelling).
