Roles & Capabilities empowers administrators with a complete toolset for managing user roles and capabilities directly from the WordPress admin — no code required.
Designed for simplicity and control, this plugin allows you to customize user permissions to fit any use case. Access is strictly limited to site administrators for maximum security; no additional capabilities can grant access to its features.

</ul>
Whether you’re building a membership site, managing editorial permissions, or fine-tuning access, this plugin gives you the precision and flexibility you need.
