<p>Role Base Access Manager: Media Protector</p>
<p>WordPress plugin to assign access roles to individual files.</p>
<p>This simple plugin allows administrators (anyone with access to the edit-post form for attachments/media) to set access based on roles.<br />
The plugin provides a ‘Security’ meta-box on the right hand side where you can type in role names and select them (much like you add tags<br />
to regular posts). Whenever a visitor wants to download or view a file or image from the uploads directory, his/her current roles are checked<br />
against the configured roles.</p>
<p>This plugin tries to look for originals of resized and rescaled images by making a rough search in the meta data table. This allows you to<br />
mark the original image of a blog entry for specific access and have all thumbnails and other derived images be protected as well. Please note<br />
that this plugin does not clean up after you. If for some reason left-over thumbnails remain in the upload directory, the plugin cannot find<br />
them in the database and will allow access.</p>
<h3>Roles</h3>
<p>This plugin works based on role access management. That means it will try to match the specified roles on the media with the available roles of a user. However, the capabilities system of <code>WordPress</code> is cumulative: an <code>Administrator</code> has more privileges as an <code>Editor</code>, but at least the<br />
same. Usually, people only have one Role in this system. As this plugin does not check on capabilities, but on roles, you will need to specify<br />
<em>all</em> the roles that should have access to this file (including the ‘administrator’ role).</p>
<p>Alternatively, you can add secondary roles to a User, allowing <code>Administrator</code> to also be a <code>Subscriber</code>. In this way, you only need to add the<br />
    Subscriber role to media files to allow it to be downloaded by all registered members. However, adding secondary roles is a manual task. If you have many users and few files, it can be easier to specifiy all roles with the media. If you have many files and few users, you had better use secondary role assignments. If you have many files and many users, you should look into a way to automatically assign roles to people using some sort of on-boarding method. If you need a plugin for that, send me a message.</p>
<h3>Redirections</h3>
<p>The plugin works by inserting a redirection script in your <code>.htaccess</code> file on activation. This does not work properly for <code>NGinX</code>, in which<br />
case you have to insert a redirection manually. Freely copied from the [https://wordpress.org/plugins/aam-protected-media-files/](AAM Protected Media Files) description:</p>
<pre><code>`
</code></pre>
<p>location ~* ^/wp-content/uploads/ {<br />
   rewrite (?i)^(/wp-content/uploads/.*)$ /index.php?rbam-media=1 last;<br />
   return 307;<br />
}<br />
    `</p>
<p>The plugin will try to read the accessed file from the original request and apply role based access management on it.</p>

<p>With the “Role defaults” module you can set default screen settings and metabox locations for roles and apply them to users through various bulk actions.</p>

<h4>I can’t switch back!</h4>
<p>See item <strong>3</strong> at <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/view-admin-as/faq/" rel="ugc">FAQ</a>.</p>
<h4>It’s not working! / I found a bug!</h4>
<p>Please let me know through the support and add a plugins and themes list! 🙂</p>
<h4>Security</h4>
<p>This plugin is completely safe and will keep your users, passwords and data secure.<br />
For more info see item <strong>7</strong> at <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/view-admin-as/faq/" rel="ugc">FAQ</a>!</p>
<h4>Developer notes</h4>
<p>This plugin will only be useful for admins (network super admins or regular admins). It will not add functionalities for other roles unless you specifically apply custom capabilities for those users.<br />
Also keep in mind that switching to users that have equal roles is disabled. (regular admins to regular admins + super admins to super admins)</p>
<p>I’ve created this at first for myself since I’m a developer and often need to see the outcome on roles which my clients use.</p>
<p>So, when you are developing a plugin or theme that does anything with roles or capabilities you can use this plugin to easily check if everything works.<br />
No more hassle of creating test users and constantly logging out and in anymore!</p>
<p>This plugin is also useful to support your clients and/or users. For example; make screen display presets of the edit and overview pages before you let them log in.</p>

View Admin As

Great plugin, trying to debug user issues getting the usual level of information from a user, found this plugin and boom there it is. 

User error.

As I thought it would be, but now I KNOW it is.

Cheers!

Awe. Some.

Super useful, does what it says and does it well. 
Thank you for your work on this.
Marc.

Great plugin!

View the WordPress admin as a different role or visitor, switch between users, temporarily change your capabilities, set screen settings for roles.
