User Role Editor Pro

WordPress ships with a small set of default roles, and many sites need finer control than that. User Role Editor Pro gives administrators an interface for adjusting what each role can do. You can edit the roles already in place or create custom ones that match how your team actually works, so people see only the tools they need.

The plugin goes past basic role editing. It can hide admin menu items, widgets and meta boxes for chosen roles, and it can limit editing rights by post ID, taxonomy or author. On multisite networks, a superadmin can manage roles across every subsite from one panel. It fits membership sites, multi-author blogs and larger networks.

Features

• Edit and create roles: Change the capabilities of existing WordPress roles or add custom roles, using a simple interface that needs no coding knowledge.
• Admin menu restrictions: Block specific admin menu items for each role, which keeps the backend simpler for users who only need a few screens.
• Front-end menu visibility: Show or hide menu items on the front end depending on whether a visitor is logged in and which role they hold.
• Widget and meta box control: Limit access to widgets, sidebars and dashboard or post meta boxes for particular roles, and choose which widgets each role sees.
• Content editing permissions: Decide who may create or edit posts, pages and custom post types, narrowing rules to individual post IDs, taxonomy terms or authors.
• Multisite network management: From the network admin panel, edit, copy and assign roles and capabilities across subsites, and restrict what single site administrators can change.
• Gravity Forms access rules: Set role-based permissions for editing and accessing forms, with settings specific to each form.
• Export and import roles: Move roles and capabilities between sites, or keep a backup of your permission setup, using export and import.
