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.
