Overview
User Role Editor Pro is designed for sites where WordPress’s built-in roles are too broad. The core workflow is capability-based: an administrator can create or modify roles, assign capabilities, and apply permissions directly to users. Pro adds more targeted controls around the admin interface, front-end menus, widgets, meta boxes, content visibility, and plugin activation.
Create custom roles or modify existing WordPress roles and capabilities.
Assign multiple roles or individual capabilities directly to users.
Restrict selected admin menu items by role.
Control selected front-end menu items for visitors, logged-in users, or selected roles.
Restrict widgets, sidebars, and selected meta boxes by role.
Limit editing access to selected posts, pages, or custom post types using post, author, taxonomy, or ID-based rules.
Restrict content viewing for selected roles and display role-limited content with a shortcode.
Manage access to plugin activation and deactivation operations for selected users or roles.
Compatibility and setup context
- The official WordPress.org listing documents support for WordPress 4.6 or higher and PHP 7.4 or higher for the current directory release.
- The plugin supports WordPress multisite; the Pro edition adds network-level management from Network Admin.
- The supplied catalog version is 4.65, while the official WordPress.org listing currently shows 4.66. Confirm the exact Pro package version, PHP requirement, and WordPress test status before deployment.
- Because role and capability changes affect administrator access and editorial workflows, test changes on staging and retain a recovery or rollback plan before applying them to a production site.
