Comment (by MadtownLems):

 > After applying these patches only user with import capability can access
 to tools page.

 That doesn't sound like the right approach. Many plugins can add submenu
 items under Tools that are available to users who lack the import
 capability.

 Generally speaking, the Tools menu probably shouldn't be shown unless the
 user has access to one or more subitems, but Tools is a unique and weird
 case.
