Overview

Handing site management to a team raises a practical question: who should see and change what? WordPress default user roles are broad, and a freelancer or junior developer may end up with more access than the job requires. This extension answers that inside the MainWP Dashboard. You build roles that match each person's responsibilities and assign permissions to them, so every team member sees only what they need.

Control reaches Child sites, Dashboard functions and individual MainWP Extensions, and you can add as many team members as you need. Administration happens in one interface within the Dashboard, with no additional plugins or external APIs. Permissions follow a least privilege approach, which helps keep client data protected. It suits small development teams and growing agencies that delegate routine site tasks.

Features

  • Custom role creation: Build user roles with specific permissions that match what each team member is responsible for, so tasks can be delegated without handing out full access.
  • Access by Child site: Restrict a user to particular Child sites, which keeps client sites separate and limits team members to the work assigned to them.
  • Extension-level permissions: Control access to individual MainWP Extensions, including permission controls for supported MainWP abilities such as Built-In Backups.
  • Dashboard feature control: Decide which Dashboard functions each role can reach, so sensitive areas stay available only to the people who need them.
  • Unlimited team members: Add as many users as your team requires. Growing an agency does not run into a cap on the number of people you can manage.
  • Least privilege approach: Access is granted only as needed, which helps maintain confidentiality and reduces the chance of unauthorized actions across your managed WordPress sites.
  • Managed from the Dashboard: Roles and permissions are handled inside the MainWP Dashboard through a user-friendly interface, with no extra plugins or external APIs needed.
  • Team role and user abilities: MainWP abilities and MCP support cover managing team roles, users and notes, and permissions from multiple active roles are combined.

Best for

  • Web agencies delegating site tasks to several staff
  • Freelancers working with contractors on client sites
