User Role Pro

WordPress role and capability management

User Role Pro manages WordPress roles, capabilities, and access settings through an interface that does not require coding. It includes the free edition’s capabilities and includes custom role creation, access controls for selected extensions and dashboard menu items, standard role resets, and multisite configuration.

Set capabilities for each role according to the work its users need to do. You can view and edit roles, copy capabilities from another role, rename roles, and assign multiple roles to a visitor who needs permissions from more than one role.

Role recovery and standard resets

Recovering a role restores its capabilities to the settings recorded when the plugin was first activated. For a role created after activation, recovery restores the capabilities recorded when that role was created. User Role Pro can also reset standard WordPress roles to their default settings.

Access controls and multisite settings

• Create unlimited custom roles and set their capabilities.
• Restrict selected plugins for specific roles.
• Control access to particular dashboard menu items.
• Configure roles and permissions across all subsites in a multisite network.

These controls let administrators limit access to selected areas based on each role’s responsibilities. Copying capabilities can provide a starting point before you adjust a role’s permissions.

Setup and support

Install and activate the plugin in WordPress, open its role management interface, then make or choose a role, adjust its permissions, and assign it to users as needed. Documentation and video tutorials provide guidance. The plugin also supports multiple languages and RTL layouts, and its stated support policy provides a response within one business day.

If the plugin is deleted, roles revert to their original capability settings.
