Depending on the plugin, you can even edit the default user roles outlined in the next section. This is useful for mixing and matching different levels of user access.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if you want to create a custom user role that allows users to edit other user\u2019s posts in addition to their own, you can modify the default Author role or create an entirely new role that includes those permissions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Assign Multiple User Roles<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This feature allows users to be assigned multiple roles. This is useful if you want to give users multiple levels of access without creating a new custom role. For example, if you create separate user roles for writing posts and uploading media, you can give a user both roles so that they\u2019d have the ability to write posts as well as upload media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being able to quickly provide access by assigning multiple user roles is helpful for organizations that have a large number of users working out of the same WordPress site.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Clone\/Copy User Roles<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This feature allows you to clone or copy user roles. This is great for creating multiple user roles quickly with the same levels of access. For example, let\u2019s say you\u2019ve created a custom user role \u201cGuest Contributor\u201d that only has access to the Gutenberg post editor.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After selecting all of the custom privileges for that user role, you may decide that you want to make an additional user role called \u201cSEO Editor\u201d that has the same level of access plus the ability to customize SEO-related aspects of the post such as the URL slug.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To avoid needing to create a new user role from scratch, you can simply clone the user role, modify the cloned version, then give it a new name to correspond to the changes.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Restrict Page and Post Access<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This feature allows you to specify whether or not certain user roles have access to pages and posts. For example, let\u2019s say you want a user to be able to modify and publish posts but not access pages. To do this, you can create a custom user role that only has access to posts, but not pages. By restricting page and post access you can better control how your users contribute to your WordPress website.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Hide\/Display Menu Items<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This feature allows you to hide specific menu options within the WordPress dashboard. For example, let\u2019s say you want to hide the menus to access the plugins or theme used for the site. By hiding those buttons, you eliminate the possibility of unauthorized access. This is useful for preventing users from accessing administrative resources such as redirection management plugins. It also helps streamline the user experience by decluttering the various menus in the WordPress dashboard.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Restrict Media Library Access<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This feature allows you to restrict whether or not users can access the media library to upload images and videos. This is useful for limiting who can upload images to your WordPress site and only providing that privilege to specific users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"default\">WordPress Default User Roles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>WordPress comes preset with a number of <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/article\/roles-and-capabilities\/\">user roles<\/a> with varying degrees of access and permissions. The below list ranks them based on level of access:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Subscriber \u2013 The 1st level of access. Users with the subscriber role only have permission to modify their own user profiles.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Contributor \u2013 The 2nd level of access. The contributor user role has permission to write and manage posts, but not publish them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Author \u2013 The 3rd level of access. The author user role has permission to write and publish posts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Editor \u2013 The 4th level of access. The editor user role has permission to manage and edit posts made by other users.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Administrator \u2013 The 5th level of access. Users with the administrator role have access to all administrative features of the site.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on how you want your users to interact with your WordPress site, you may want to customize these user roles further and there are a number of plugins that make it easy to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"top\">Top User Role Editor WordPress Plugins<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"user\">User Role Editor<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"660\" height=\"380\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/userroleeditor.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-95093\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/userroleeditor.png 660w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/userroleeditor-300x173.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1360px) 876px, (min-width: 960px) calc(61.58vw + 51px), calc(100vw - 80px)\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>With over 700,000 active installations, the <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/user-role-editor\/\">User Role Editor<\/a> plugin is commonly used to edit user roles and create custom permissions for users.

No matter how many users your organization has, User Role Editor can help you keep track of how they interact with your WordPress website. For example, let\u2019s say you want only Administrator-level users to have the ability to activate plugins. Through the User Role Editor plugin, you can remove the ability to activate plugins from all user roles and restrict it to only users with the Administrator user role.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While this plugin shares a number of features with the other entries on this list, it is important to note that it cannot be used to restrict media library access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"members\">Members<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"676\" height=\"401\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/membersplugin.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-95094\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/membersplugin.png 676w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/membersplugin-300x178.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1360px) 876px, (min-width: 960px) calc(61.58vw + 51px), calc(100vw - 80px)\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>With over 200,000 active installations, the <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/members\/\">Members plugin<\/a> serves as another powerful user role editor tool for WordPress websites.
