SleekView for WP Admin UI Customize: admin rules as tables
WP Admin UI Customize stores admin UI rules in wp_options under wpadminui_* keys, scoped per role. SleekView flattens those settings into a real grid so site admins can audit which role sees what without clicking through every options page.

Admin UI rules as a real grid
WP Admin UI Customize lets a site admin hide menus, change the login screen, restyle the dashboard, and rewrite admin colours per role. Every one of those settings lives as a serialized array inside wp_options, under keys that follow the wpadminui_* pattern (for example wpadminui_settings for global config and wpadminui_role_ for per-role overrides). The default screens spread those rules across half a dozen tabs, so auditing what a Subscriber actually sees means opening every tab in turn.
SleekView reads those option keys, unpacks the serialized arrays, and renders one row per rule. Role, target (admin bar, menu, dashboard widget, login screen, color scheme), action (hide, rename, restyle), and the rule's current value become first-class columns. Filters scope the grid to one role, one target, or one action at a time, so you can answer questions like "what has Editor been blocked from?" in a single view.
Inline edits go through the plugin's own update_option flow, so saving a change re-runs whatever validation and cache-clearing logic the plugin attaches. Bulk toggle, copy a rule from one role to another, or export the rule set as CSV for an internal audit. The plugin still owns the storage. SleekView just makes it legible.

wpadminui_*are not browsable as rows - Copying a rule between roles means re-entering it by hand
- No filter that combines role and target
SleekView
-
Unpack
wp_optionskeys into one row per rule - Filter by role, target, or action in one query
- Save views like Subscriber lockdown or Editor branding

Features
What SleekView gives you for WP Admin UI Customize
Per-role audit
Filter the grid to one role and see every rule that applies, from hidden menus to renamed dashboard widgets, in one pass. Audit Subscriber and Editor side by side.
Target filter
Slice by admin bar, menu, dashboard widget, login screen, or color scheme. Useful when an interface change goes live and you need to roll back one target without touching the rest.
Inline rule edit
Update a rule's value from the row. The grid calls update_option through the plugin's own flow so cache-clearing and validation run as they would on the plugin's own screens.
Audience
Who uses SleekView for WP Admin UI Customize
Site admins
Audit every UI rule across every role in one grid. Save a baseline view and diff it against next month to catch quiet rule drift.
Onboarding leads
Compare what a Contributor sees against an Editor before publishing onboarding documentation. Adjust hidden menus inline as docs evolve.
Security teams
Confirm that Subscribers cannot reach Tools, Plugins, or Users. Pin a Subscriber lockdown view and review it in the weekly access audit.
The bigger picture
Why per-role admin UI rules need a real grid
Locking down the WordPress admin per role sounds simple until you actually do it. Subscribers should not see Tools. Editors should not see Plugins.
Contributors should see a renamed login screen and a custom dashboard widget. WP Admin UI Customize gives you the controls, but the UI it ships is organised the way the plugin thinks (by feature area), not the way an admin audits (by role). The result is half a dozen tabs to reconstruct what a single role actually sees, every time you onboard a new user.
A grid that flattens every rule into one row per (role, target, action) collapses that audit into a single saved view. Filters answer the questions that matter at access-review time: what is Editor blocked from, where did the Login screen branding drift to, which roles still have the welcome panel visible. Copying a rule set from Editor to a new role becomes a bulk action instead of a re-entry exercise.
None of this changes how WP Admin UI Customize stores its settings. The rules still live in wp_options. The grid just makes them legible at the scale a real WordPress site actually uses them.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView for WP Admin UI Customize
It loads the relevant wpadminui_* option keys, unpacks the serialized arrays, and renders one logical row per rule. Saves go back through PHP's serialize step and update_option so the data round-trips cleanly.
Yes. Cell edits route through the same update_option call the plugin uses internally, so any filters or hooks the plugin attaches to its own save handler still run. The grid does not bypass the plugin's validation.
Yes. Because saves go through the plugin's own update flow, any cached representation it maintains (a transient or in-memory cache of the rule set) is invalidated the same way it would be after a normal admin save.
 Yes. Select rows scoped to one role, run a Copy to role action, and SleekView writes the same rule under the destination role's option key. Useful when adding a new role that should inherit Editor's lockdown.
 Yes. Apply filters first, then export visible columns to CSV. Hand a per-role lockdown summary to a security reviewer without screenshots, or keep a baseline snapshot for change-control.
 
Login screen rules (logo URL, background, custom CSS) are stored in the same option family. They appear in the grid under the login:* target prefix and can be filtered or copied like any other rule.
Yes. The plugin stores some rules per-site and some network-wide. SleekView shows both and labels the scope so a network admin can audit the cascade without opening each site's settings screen.
 Yes. The grid keeps the previous value visible on the row right after an edit. The plugin itself does not offer revisioning on options, but you can use the export to capture a baseline before making bulk changes.
