Limiting Menu Item Visibility Based on User Roles
If you haven’t set up multiple menus and wish to control individual links in the menu based on user roles, you can achieve this by going to the “Appearance” section and selecting “Menus.” Within the menu editing interface, you will notice that each menu link now includes a checkbox option that allows you to assign it to particular user roles.
Note: If you choose not to select any user role, the menu item will be displayed to all customers by default.
