-------------------------------------------+-----------------------------
 In multisite mode, when I am removing menu pages (remove_menu_page) for a
 particular user role (weather-alert-editor) those menu items get
 disappeared for site admin as well, meaning the menu settings for admin is
 being  overwritten by that of `weather-alert-editor`! Admin should have
 default access to everything unless otherwise specified, but this is not
 happening here.


 {{{
 function restrict_admin_access_by_role() {
    if(function_exists('remove_menu_page')) {
       if(current_user_can('weather-alert-editor')) {
         remove_menu_page('tools.php');
         remove_menu_page('options-general.php');
         remove_menu_page('themes.php');
         remove_menu_page('edit.php?post_type=tradeshow');
         remove_menu_page('jetpack');
         remove_submenu_page('yrc_settings_page',
 'yrc_home_settings_page');
       }
       elseif(current_user_can('fuel-surcharge-editor')) {
         remove_menu_page('tools.php');
         remove_menu_page('options-general.php');
         remove_menu_page('themes.php');
         remove_menu_page('edit.php?post_type=tradeshow');
         remove_menu_page('edit.php?post_type=weather_alert');
         remove_menu_page('jetpack');
         remove_menu_page('yrc_settings_page');
      }
    }
 }

 add_action('admin_init', 'restrict_admin_access_by_role', 999);
 }}}

 Not sure if it is a bug, but I don'f find any documentation or a
 workaround for this.
