<p>Members is a roles and capabilities based WordPress membership plugin. It gives your users the ultimate member experience by giving you powerful tools to add roles and capabilities and assign them to your users.</p>
<p>Members allows you to set permissions to restrict content on your site by providing a simple user interface (UI) for WordPress’ powerful roles and capabilities system, which has traditionally only been available to developers who know how to code this by hand.</p>
<h3>Plugin Features</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Role Editor:</strong> Allows you to edit, create, and delete roles as well as capabilities for these roles.</li>
<li><strong>Multiple User Roles:</strong> Give one, two, or even more roles to any user.</li>
<li><strong>Explicitly Deny Capabilities:</strong> Deny specific capabilities to specific user roles.</li>
<li><strong>Clone Roles:</strong> Build a new role by cloning an existing role.</li>
<li><strong>Content Permissions / Restricted Content:</strong> Protect content to determine which users (by role) have access to post content.</li>
<li><strong>Shortcodes:</strong> Shortcodes to control who has access to content.</li>
<li><strong>Widgets:</strong> A login form widget and users widget to show in your theme’s sidebars.</li>
<li><strong>Private Site:</strong> You can make your site and its feed completely private if you want.</li>
<li><strong>Administrator Rescue (Magic Link):</strong> If you lose access to the WordPress admin (e.g. after editing roles), you can request a secure, time-limited link by email to restore your Administrator role and Members capabilities—no support ticket or database access required.</li>
<li><strong>Plugin Integration:</strong> Members is highly recommended by other WordPress developers. Many existing plugins integrate their custom roles and capabilities directly into it.</li>
</ul>

Members – Membership & User Role Editor Plugin

Works fine and helped me a lot. 

Of course it can be improved, I'd suggest some checkbox to choose all options with one click. 

Cheers, 
keep the great job.

Great plugin


Easy to configure, simple to use, does the job it's supposed to do. Thank you!


Works great!

The best WordPress Plugin to manage user roles

Easy to Use

Excellent plugin


This is exactly what I needed! Works great!



This is the easiest way to add capabilities to existing roles but beware. If you start experimenting with adding a lot of capabilities to a role and forget which capabilities you added, there is no easy way (at least that I have found) for reverting the capabilities back to the way you found them. Even disabling the plugin or uninstalling it will not do the trick. A Revert button would be an awesome addition!



Also, though it says it supports multisite (WPMU / Network) sites, I cannot see how it works. It does not show a superadmin user. Nothing I have tried in terms of removing permissions does anything in the administrator role, which I assume is not superadministrator. There is no documentation on this so I am looking for another solution on multisite.


Really Awesome, but beware
