    Hi,
    I’m just trying the current beta build on my local dev server and added some further roles to be restricted access to Admin Dashboard: Contributor and Author.
    However, this also has stopped myself, as an admin role, from accessing the wp-admin.

    Cheers,
    Gav

    After restoring the WP Options table to get access, I double checked the prompt and tooltip with the help text.

    Within the settings, it says add the roles that should NOT get access to wp-admin, however, the documentation says specify the roles that do get access to the wp-admin.

    See attached screenshots.

    Sorry about that, I fixed the documentation now.
    Thanks for reporting.
