Answer 2

I've just added ROLE_SONATA_ADMIN to ROLE_ADMIN in security.yml:

security:
    role_hierarchy:
        ROLE_ADMIN:       [ROLE_USER, ROLE_SONATA_ADMIN]

and it shown up, finaly. For more info check this: https://github.com/sonata-project/SonataAdminBundle/issues/2321

The first thing to do is to open this file in this path:

\wamp\www\YourProject\vendor\sonata-project\admin-bundle\Resources\view \standard_layout.html.twig

Then look for :ROLE_SONATA_ADMIN (using Ctrl+F) then changed to the role that you are using to log in to your admin dashboard for me I'm using ROLE_ADMIN, then save the file, close it, check your admin dashboard, you will find exactly what you look for.

hope it will works
