Melapress Role Editor Benefits

Stress-free configuration with step-by-step wizards

Melapress Role Editor makes it easy to manage roles thanks to its intuitive interface and wizards that walk you through the entire process. By using wizards, you can rest easy knowing that all necessary steps have been accounted for and nothing was missed. Of course, you can also edit roles manually if you wish.

Increased security with auto change detection

Melapress Role Editor keeps a record of each role’s capabilities for security and reliability. It alerts you whenever there is a change so that you can choose to restore roles to the previous configuration or accept the changes, keeping you in the driver’s seat at all times.

Peace of mind with backups and restore

Not sure if planned role changes will pan out? Don’t worry – simply take a backup of the existing configuration from within the plugin so that you can always restore a known working configuration should something break.

Better guidance with out-of-the-box custom roles

Melapress Role Editor comes with a number of pre-configured roles designed to help you get started quickly. Modeled after common roles in the WordPress business such as Business owner, Developer, and HR manager, each role has been designed to respect the principle of least privilege while giving you a head start in configuring new custom roles.

Simplify complexity with multiple roles and capability deny

WordPress environments can get pretty complex, so we added features to accomodate every scenario. You can assign users multiple roles to avoid creating additional roles. You can also explicity deny capabilities to ensure the utmost level of security in complex scenarios.
