More Information
This function is a simple wrapper for a call to add_submenu_page() , passing the received arguments and specifying 'index.php' as the $parent_slug argument. This means the new page will be added as a sub-menu to the Dashboard menu.
The $capability parameter is used to determine whether or not the page is included in the menu based on the Roles and Capabilities) of the current user.
The function handling the output of the options page should also verify the user’s capabilities.
If you’re running into the »You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.« message on a wp_die()
screen, then you’ve hooked too early. The hook you should use is admin_menu
.
