The default Magento 2 admin panel offers a wide range of features to make the task of administrating the store easy and efficient.

However, owing to the modern E-commerce store structure, the admin may also want customization in the admin panel to manage custom-developed features.

The customization in the admin panel comes with custom grids, forms, etc. Now, the admin cannot access these grids or forms or any such custom page from the admin panel without a custom menu.
