Hide the Dashboard link (2.5+) and Tools menu (2.7) from your blog subscribers when they are logged in.

== Description ==

This plugin removes the Dashboard menu, the Tools menu, and the Help link on the Profile page, and prevents Dashboard access to users assigned to the <em>Subscriber</em> role. Useful if you allow your subscribers to edit their own profiles, but don't want them wandering around your WordPress admin section. Based on the <a title="IWG Hide Dashboard" href="http://www.im-web-gefunden.de/wordpress-plugins/iwg-hide-dashboard/">IWG Hide Dashboard</a> plugin by Thomas Schneider.

Users belonging to any of the other WordPress roles will continue to see the Dashboard link and the Tools menu, and have access to the other sections of the WordPress admin that corresponds to their role's capabilities.

Based on the [IWG Hide Dashboard](http://www.im-web-gefunden.de/wordpress-plugins/iwg-hide-dashboard/ "IWG Hide Dashboard") plugin by Thomas Schneider, which requires having the Role Manager plugin activated in order for it to function.

This plugin relies only on core WordPress capabilities.
