This humble plugin adds an option in Settings > General that controls who sees the WP Toolbar when viewing your site.
You can turn the Toolbar on or off per user role.
Note that this controls the public, front-end version of your site. When viewing the dashboard, the toolbar always appears.
How is this different from other plugins that do similar things? It’s smaller, cleaner, and doesn’t add any unnecesary settings pages. It’s also smart enough to hide the Toolbar option on user profiles if that user is already restricted from seeing the toolbar.

Hide Admin Bar Based On User Roles gives you complete control over who sees the WordPress toolbar.
Whether you are running a membership site, a WooCommerce store, or simply want a cleaner frontend for your subscribers, this plugin lets you hide the admin bar with precision — by role, capability, device, page, or time. Stop exposing backend links to users who don’t need them.
The plugin is lightweight, developer-friendly, and works immediately upon activation — no configuration required to get started.
