DC Role is a plugin which can show content to users (not) belonging to a certain role they have. It is meant as a lightweight version for some kind of member/subscription system. The shortcodes can also be selected from a button in the editor, making it (hopefully) friendly to non-techies.
DC Role consists of 5 shortcodes:
<ul>
<li>
[dc_role role=”administrator”]content[/dc_role] shows the specified content only if the users is an administrator
</li>
<li>
[dc_not_role role=”administrator]content[/dc_not_role] shows the specified content only if the user is not an administrator
</li>
<li>
[dc_roles roles=”administrator,subscriber”]content[/dc_roles] shows the specified content if the user has any of the provided roles (in this case administrator or subscriber)
</li>
<li>
[dc_not_roles roles=”administrator,subscriber]content[/dc_not_roles] shows the specified content if the user does not have any of the provided roles
</li>
<li>
[dc_all_roles] shows a list of all roles the wordpress installation has
</li>
</ul>

Admin Bar & Dashboard Access Control

I've used 2 plugins before for this stuff. This excellent little plugin makes it really easy, all in 1 plugin. Does just what it needs to and does it well.

My only complaint: it adds a new sidebar item in the Admin. It really should have it's settings under Settings or Tools sections. Only plugins with multiple pages of settings, and that need to be accessed regularly, should add more height to my sidebar. If that gets fixed, I'll change my review to 5 stars! I know it's a bit nit-picky of a complaint. I guess it shows how good this little plugin is, when that's the only thing wrong.

Works great, does the work of 2 plugins elegantly!
