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

well, if you want to use the automatic menu generated by sonata you can use this steps to reach the point:

Solution

  1. override the default sonata layout twig file from config.yml

    sonata_admin:
    templates:
        layout:                         ::layout.html.twig

  2. your ::layout.html.twig:

    {% extends 'SonataAdminBundle::standard_layout.html.twig' %}

{% block side_bar_nav %}
    {{ knp_menu_render('sonata_admin_sidebar', {template: sonata_admin.adminPool.getTemplate('knp_menu_template')}) }}
{% endblock %}

Why this solution?

since the default SonataAdminBundle::standard_layout.html.twig checks the user to have the ROLE_SONATA_ADMIN permission (and you might not using sonata user bundle), you need to override permission checking process, which is by default:

{% block side_bar_nav %}
    {% if app.user and is_granted('ROLE_SONATA_ADMIN') %}
        {{ knp_menu_render('sonata_admin_sidebar', {template: sonata_admin.adminPool.getTemplate('knp_menu_template')}) }}
    {% endif %}
{% endblock side_bar_nav %}

I think this is the easiest way to use navigation buttons on left sidebar.

Do two things:

  1. Create a template called standard_layout.html.twig in your custom bundle's Resources/views folder. Add this to that template:

    {% extends 'SonataAdminBundle::standard_layout.html.twig' %} {% block side_bar_nav %} //add your code here {% endblock side_bar_nav %}

PS: Look at block side_bar_nav in vendor/sonata-project/admin-bundle/Resources/views/standard_layout.html.twig for direction

  1. In app/config/config.yml (or wherever your config file is), add:

sonata_admin: templates: layout: YourBundle::standard_layout.html.twig

I recommend using YourBundle:Admin:standard_layout.html.twig to organize all your admin templates into a single Admin folder. You'd need to change the location of the template in step 1 accordingly

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

okay finally,

it seems they updated sonata admin bundle doc,

take a look at this => http://sonata-project.org/bundles/admin/master/doc/reference/architecture.html

or with user bundle :

http://sonata-project.org/bundles/user/master/doc/reference/user_dashboard.html

hope it will works
