Overview

Managing several WordPress sites with a team can make it difficult to give each person the right level of access. This extension lets you create custom roles and assign permissions based on each team member’s responsibilities. You can control access to specific Child sites, Dashboard features, and individual MainWP Extensions, helping keep delegated site management organized.

Team roles and users are managed from the MainWP Dashboard. Permissions from multiple active roles are combined, so review role assignments with that in mind. An authorized Dashboard administrator, called the Team Control owner, manages users and roles. The extension also provides permission controls for supported MainWP abilities, including Built-In Backups, and supports managing roles, users, and notes through MainWP abilities and MCP.

Features

  • Create custom roles: Define team roles with permissions suited to different responsibilities, so access can reflect the work each person handles.
  • Control site access: Limit a team member’s access to selected Child sites, giving you control over which managed WordPress sites they can work with.
  • Set Dashboard permissions: Choose which MainWP Dashboard features team members can access, keeping their available controls aligned with their assigned tasks.
  • Manage extension access: Set permissions for individual MainWP Extensions, including supported MainWP abilities such as Built-In Backups.
  • Manage team notes: Manage users, roles, and notes through MainWP abilities and MCP, alongside the extension’s team access controls.
  • Combine active role permissions: When a user has multiple active roles, their permissions are combined, allowing access to reflect the full set of assigned roles.

Best for

  • WordPress agencies managing client sites
  • Freelancers delegating site management
  • Development teams using MainWP
