 On the page all posts, columns of information are shown (Titles, Author,
 Categories, Tags, ...). And there may be some columns that we don't want
 to show to all user levels, for example on my website I have installed the
 “Search Exclude” plugin and they insert a column in the list of posts to
 inform whether each post is hidden or visible, https://prnt.sc/sab4vw
 But, this column is not required to be shown to users who are not
 Administrators or even Editor levels. So, I would like to hide this column
 for Author, Contributor, Subscriber and ect levels. But the plugin does
 not offer this option, and with that I have no option to hide.

 The WP has the “Screen options” feature where each user can hide certain
 columns. However, this feature applies individually to each user, that is,
 each user hides the column only for him. And what I wanted, as a site
 administrator, is to have the control to hide columns for all levels of
 users and to control which levels of users I want. In fact, I, as an
 administrator, could even have the control to hide columns for certain
 users (I select the column I want to hide and then select the users to
 whom that column should be hidden).

 WP does not offer this feature. So I would like to leave this suggestion
 to the development staff.

 Thank you!
