Adjust roles and combine access

Review existing roles, change their capabilities and permissions, copy capabilities from another role as a starting point, or rename a role. Create unlimited custom roles with Pro and assign the roles users need. A user can have multiple roles when their responsibilities call for combined access.

Control access across the site and network

  • Restrict selected roles from accessing specific plugins and dashboard menu items.
  • Configure user roles and permissions across all subsites in a multisite network.
  • Reset standard WordPress roles to their default settings.
  • Receive priority support within one business day, according to the stated support policy.

Recover role capabilities

The recovery option restores a role's capabilities to the settings in place when the extension was first activated. For a role created after activation, recovery uses the initial capabilities set when that role was created. Pro also resets standard WordPress roles to their defaults.

Install and manage roles

Install and activate User Role Pro in WordPress, then open its role management interface. Select an existing role or make a custom one, adjust its capabilities, and assign it to users as needed. Documentation and video tutorials provide guidance. The add-on also supports multiple languages and right-to-left layouts. If the plugin is deleted, roles revert to their original capability settings.
