For this example, we’re going to create a custom role for a “Premium User”, who will be granted access to see private posts.
- Log into your WordPress Dashboard
- Select Add New Role under Users
- Name your new role
- Select Posts under Edit Capabilities
- Grant the Read Private Posts capability by checking the box under the Grant column
- Click Add Role to save your new role
That’s it! Well done, you now know how to add a new user role using the Members plugin.
