    This is from the WordPress Codex, which states that add_theme_page must be called early. Therefore, calling the function in the ‘admin_init’ hook will make role capabilities invalid in regard to theme page created.

    Use the ‘admin_menu’ hook instead using an example as shown:

    function add_test_theme_page() {
	add_theme_page( 'Theme Title Settings', 'Theme Menu Settings', 'edit_theme_options', 'test-theme-options', 'theme_option_page' );
}
add_action( 'admin_menu', 'add_test_theme_page' );

function theme_option_page() {
	echo 'This is a test theme options page!';
}
