I think I have an idea of how to do this. Using the User Role Editor plugin, I could create a new capability, called, for example: "view_searchwp_stats". I could then assign that capability to whatever roles I want. I would then add the above code to the SearchWP customizations plugin and then I should test with a user to ensure everything is working correctly.

I suppose my only concern there is that this may not be "granular" enough. Once the user can see the stats tab, they would also have "edit" rights to same, correct? Looking to give them "read only" rights, if possible.

Thanks.
