How do I configure or customize my Menu where in, for example, if I am an admin user, I can see everything on my navigation bar, like, in my case, the Users (list of Users where I can create, update, or delete one), Stores (just like Users, this is where I can configure a specific store), Transactions and then the Logout button. But when an ordinary user/staff logs in, the only thing he/she will see is the Transactions menu and a Logout button as well.
Please help.
Edit: Here is my menu rendering code:
<?php echo Menu::widget([ 'options' => ['id' => "nav-mobile", 'class' => 'right side-nav'], 'items' => [ ['label' => 'Home', 'url' => ['/site/index']], ['label' => 'About', 'url' => ['/site/about']], ['label' => 'Contact', 'url' => ['/site/contact']], Yii::$app->user->isGuest ? ['label' => 'Login', 'url' => ['/site/login']] : ['label' => 'Logout (' . Yii::$app->user->identity->username . ')', 'url' => ['/site/logout'], 'linkOptions' => ['data-method' => 'post'] ], ], ]); ?>

Each item in items
array has visible
property. Pass expression returning boolean value there.
'items' => [ // Show users section for administrators only [ 'label' => 'Users', 'url' => ['/users/index'], 'visible' => !Yii::$app->user->isGuest && Yii::$app->user->identity->user_type == User::USER_TYPE_SUPER_ADMIN, ], ],
Yoy can also put this condition in additional model method to avoid repeating, something like isAdmin()
in User
model.
