Plugin Role Control

Switchboard Access Control manages which user roles can access the Switchboard plugin. Grant view-only access to see settings without changing them, full edit access, or hide the plugin entirely for white-label experiences. Perfect for agencies who want clients to see configurations but not modify them, or for hiding the tool from non-admin users entirely.
