User Role Editor is a WordPress plugin that allows users to easily edit and customize user roles and capabilities within WordPress. With the Pro version of the plugin, users can access a range of additional features that enhance the functionality of the plugin. These features include the ability to block selected admin menu items on a per-role basis, as well as the ability to show front-end menu items for different user types. Users can also block selected widgets and sidebars, as well as meta boxes, for specific roles.
Additionally, the plugin allows users to restrict access to other roles for selected roles, and to set per-plugin access for roles and users with “activate_plugins” capability. The plugin also allows users to export and import user roles, and provides multi-site capabilities that enable users to manage roles and users for all sites at the network admin level. Finally, the plugin provides content edit access restriction features, such as forcing all custom post types to use their own custom capabilities set and activating “Create” capability for posts/pages/custom post types. Users can also restrict access to Gravity Forms by forms ID list, and restrict users’ access to selected posts and pages based on their IDs, category/taxonomy IDs, or author user IDs.
