## Code

```php
add_action( 'admin_bar_menu', function ( $bar ) {
    if ( is_admin() || ! function_exists( 'rocket_clean_files' ) || ! current_user_can( 'edit_others_posts' ) || current_user_can( 'manage_options' ) ) {
        return;
    }

    $url = home_url( add_query_arg( array() ) );

    $bar->add_node( array(
        'id'    => 'wpide-rocket-clear',
        'title' => esc_html__( 'Clear page cache' ),
        'href'  => wp_nonce_url( add_query_arg( array( 'action' => 'wpide_rocket_clear', 'url' => rawurlencode( $url ) ), admin_url( 'admin-post.php' ) ), 'wpide_rocket_clear' ),
    ) );
}, 90 );

add_action( 'admin_post_wpide_rocket_clear', function () {
    check_admin_referer( 'wpide_rocket_clear' );

    if ( ! current_user_can( 'edit_others_posts' ) || ! function_exists( 'rocket_clean_files' ) ) {
        wp_die( esc_html__( 'Sorry, you are not allowed to do that.' ), 403 );
    }

    $url = isset( $_GET['url'] ) ? esc_url_raw( rawurldecode( wp_unslash( $_GET['url'] ) ) ) : '';

    if ( $url && wp_parse_url( $url, PHP_URL_HOST ) === wp_parse_url( home_url(), PHP_URL_HOST ) ) {
        rocket_clean_files( array( $url ) );
    }

    wp_safe_redirect( $url ? $url : home_url( '/' ) );
    exit;
} );
```

## Notes

Administrators already have WP Rocket's own menu. Change edit_others_posts to another capability if needed.
