      Dear Olly,

      I have an important question that is not necessarily technical but nonetheless significant.

      Some of my clients from pizzerias are asking me for their website login credentials. Sometimes it’s for SEO purposes, and other times it’s because they want to work with another designer.

      However, when I provide the backend information of WordPress, they can see the unlimited license keys that I purchased from you. I want to prevent someone from acquiring and using these licenses elsewhere without my knowledge.

      In the WP-PIZZA plugin menu, there’s a section called “Tools and Licenses.” Which options should I deactivate here so that website owners can modify all other functions themselves except for viewing the licenses?

      For instance, they shouldn’t be able to see the licenses, but they should still be able to add, delete, and modify products in WP-PIZZA, as well as add or remove zip codes. In essence, they should function like regular users, with the exception of not being able to access the licenses.

      If I delete the license keys, some plugins lose functionality, such as pre-ordering and zip code functionalities!
      Thanks Umut

        the way to deny access to teh licence keys / tools is using the “access rights” tab to deny access to this tab for given users. Depending on your setup regarding user roles and how your site administration amd access is structured , you may or may not have to create a new one (like a “super admin” for example or some such for yourself).
        There is plenty of info that can be found regarding WordPress user roles as well as a multitude of plugins that can administer those in a point and click sort of way .

        I know that licence keys for gateways are also still displayed in the gateway pages for legacy reasons. These will be phased out over time (naturally you can also deny access to te gateway page too via the “access rights” control. Might be a good idea in any event…..)

        regarding: ….If I delete the license keys, some plugins lose functionality…
        Then you have an issue somewhere. Frontend plugin functionality – and the associated administration of it – is completely independent from license keys entered or not (other than what it’s supposed to do like telling you that there is an update available for example and allowing you to update the plugins. ).

          PS: just a guess, but some of the user role plugin can probably also do very granular stuff like denying access just to a particular tab/page
          i.e in your case to http[s]://[your-domain]/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=wppizza&page=tools&tab=licenses
          if you still wanted them to have access to the “maintenance” , “system info” etc tabs
