Your WordPress admin

After activating Ultimate Watermark, a top-level Watermark menu appears in the WordPress sidebar. Click any item below for the matching docs page.

Add Watermark	Builder for a new watermark template (text or image).	Watermarks
Settings	Plugin-wide options: backup, right-click protection, drag prevention, logged-in protection.	Global settings

How the menus interact with each other

Watermark (top)
├─ Dashboard           — read-only overview
├─ Analytics           — stats & charts
├─ Watermarks          ──┬── Add Watermark
├─                       └── (edit existing in list)
├─ Settings            — plugin-wide options
├─ Backups             — original images list
├─ Get Pro             (free only)
└─ License             [Pro]

Capabilities (who can see what)

Every menu requires manage_options (administrators by default). The plugin doesn't add custom roles or capabilities.

If you need a non-admin role to manage watermarks, use a capability-mapping plugin like User Role Editor to grant manage_options to that role — but be aware this also grants access to a wide range of other site settings.
