How do you make a BuddyPress menu item only visible to admin

I’ve been tasked to make a BuddyPress menu item only visible to admin’s when logged in. While I thought this would be straightforward, I’m new to BuddyPress so I’m not exactly sure how this is done. Any guidance/direction would be greatly appreciated.

Which menu item?

It’s actually a custom menu item that was created. It’s a questionnaire (Winner’s Questionnaire is the name of the page) that should only be visible to admin’s when logged in. So it’s not a built in menu item. I didn’t write the original code and as mentioned above I’m new to BuddyPress so this is pretty foreign to me.

I’m not sure that really helps but hopefully it’s enough to give me a general answer to point me in the right direction.

The WP function to determine if the current user is an administrator is:
is_super_admin()

So something like:
```
if ( is_super_admin() ) 
   // show the menu item
```
