Body: <p>I am using WP, and I have a theme developer helping me with a few issues in a buddypress forum, and then I have another plugin developer I would like to help me with another issue having to deal with super security. Anyway, I don't want so many people having access to my civicrm database as they don't need to touch civicrm in order to fix WP or plugin issues.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to limit WP admin access to NOT allow access to civicrm?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks?
  If not, does anyone know a developer who knows WP, Civicrm, Thrive Theme, and BPS Security? I tried a Civi911 developer and they couldn't help me with all these WP plugin/theme/forum issues.</p>
