WPSAL (Simple Access List)

We have ONE goal in mind: making it easy to control access to pages and posts.

AAM Plugin

Advanced Access Manager (AAM) introduces Access Governance for WordPress – a systematic approach to securing your site by controlling who can access what, when, and why.
Most WordPress security plugins focus on external threats like malware, firewalls, and brute-force attacks. AAM addresses the root cause of the #1 WordPress security risk: broken access controls, excessive privileges, and misconfigured roles.
Instead of reacting to attacks, AAM helps you design security into your WordPress site.
<h4>What Access Governance means in practice</h4>
<ul>
<li>Mitigate Broken Access Controls. Ensure roles, users, and permissions are correctly configured to prevent unauthorized actions and privilege escalation.</li>
<li>Eliminate Excessive Privileges. Identify overpowered users and reduce access to critical functionality, admin areas, and APIs.</li>
<li>Secure Content by Design. Control who can view, edit, publish, or delete posts, pages, media, taxonomies, and custom content types.</li>
<li>Govern Access with Policy. Define access rules using JSON Access Policies — portable, auditable, and automation-friendly.</li>
<li>Build Custom Security Logic. Use the AAM PHP Framework to create advanced, programmatic access controls tailored to your application.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Key Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Security Audit. Detect risky role assignments, misconfigurations, and compromised accounts.</li>
<li>Granular Access Control. Manage permissions for any user, role, or visitor with precision.</li>
<li>Role & Capability Management. Customize WordPress roles and capabilities beyond defaults.</li>
<li>Admin & Menu Control. Restrict dashboard areas and tailor the admin experience per user or role.</li>
<li>API & Endpoint Protection. Secure REST and XML-RPC access with fine-grained controls.</li>
<li>Modern Authentication Options. Support passwordless and secure login flows.</li>
<li>Developer-Ready Framework. Extend WordPress security using AAM’s powerful SDK.</li>
<li>Ad-Free & Transparent. – No ads, no tracking, no bloat.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Built for Security-Conscious WordPress Users</h4>
AAM is trusted by 150,000+ websites to deliver enterprise-grade access control without unnecessary complexity. Whether you’re a site owner, agency, developer, or security professional, AAM gives you full control over WordPress access — by design.
Most core features are free. Advanced capabilities are available via premium add-ons.
No hidden tracking. No data collection. No unwanted changes. 
Just security you can reason about, audit, and trust.

Advanced Access Manager – Access Governance for WordPress

This plugin made it so easy to create accounts for coworkers who only need to do one or two tasks on a website and it's so easy to do. :) 

I love this plugin!
