Comment Roles is a very simple plugin. The sole purpose is to provide users with the ability to filter comments based on the role of users who have contributed comments to any given post. This plugin is not meant to be used simply as is. Rather it’s expected that a site administrator will apply additional CSS rules to their child theme or to the CSS section of their theme or another plugin in order to to best integrate this plugin in their site. There is currently no additional functionality associated with this plugin.
This plugin does not work with Jetpack Comments. At present there are no plans to try and make it work with Jetpack based on how it functions. Perhaps this will change in the future, but for now I don’t anticipate anything different. 
Additionally, this plugin requires the permalink structure be changed from the default. Any other permalink structure will work fine.

Comment Roles

Allows filering of comments by user role. It adds checkboxes for each role above the comments allowing users to determing which comments to show.

This plugin allows you to display menu items based on if a user is logged in, logged out or based on the role you have given the user.
This plugin allows fine-grained permissions to be added to each individual menu item to display or not display the item based on the 
 users logged in/logged out status or the role assigned to the user. This solves the problem of having to modify theme functions.php files to add in menu restrictions. The changes in functions.php is often overwritten by a theme update. This plugin removes that worry, as you can update the theme, independent of the plugin.
<h4>Please Note</h4>
This plugin uses a modified version of the Nav Menu Walker class. This means any other plugins that utilize their own custom Nav Menu Walker class, can and will conflict with this plugin. WordPress developers have support for proper custom hooks in this area of the Admin Menu slated for v4.8 release. Please see FAQ item “I cannot see the options for Privilege Menu under menu items in the Admin Panel?” for more information.

Privilege Menu
