 @karmatosed -


 If my memory is right, I opened this ticket after spending a lot of time
 trying to fix a permissions issue that wasn't a real permissions issue. I
 had created a link to an admin page that didn't exist, but WordPress was
 `wp_die()`ing at me about lack of permissions.

 For example go to `https://example.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=shawn-
 hooper` the error will tell you that the error is you don't have
 permission to access page. That's very wrong.

 I probably should have opened a new ticket and gladly will if that is more
 likely lead to getting this minor issue. It's a separate issue from the
 larger issues of `wp_die()` in admin being a bad user experience, which it
 is, but I'm not the right person to be fixing.

 My point is that in this one situation, the current system is not
 implimented properly.
