Manage User Roles
A plugin to manage user roles and capabilities.
Manage User Roles is the ultimate tool for WordPress site administrators who need granular control over what their users can and cannot do. The WordPress role and capability system is powerful, but often difficult to manage without editing code. This plugin solves that by bringing a simple and powerful visual interface.
With it, you can create new roles from scratch, clone existing roles to make small modifications, or edit the capabilities of standard roles (Editor, Author, Contributor, etc.). This is essential for membership sites, e-commerces, online newspapers, or any site with multiple contributors.
Usage Scenarios
Imagine you have a "Junior Editor" who should be able to edit posts but not publish them, and definitely shouldn't have access to plugin settings. With Manage User Roles, you create this role in seconds by checking only the desired boxes.
