Create custom roles, inherit capabilities from existing WordPress roles, choose which admin menu pages each role can access, and define allowed actions for content, users, plugins, themes, imports, exports, and supported third-party plugins. #### Key Features **Custom Role Creation** Create custom WordPress roles from the admin dashboard. Each role can include a name, description, inherited base role, allowed admin menus, allowed actions, login redirect URL, and admin color scheme. **Admin Menu Restrictions** Choose which dashboard menu pages a custom role may access. Restricted menu items are hidden from the WordPress admin area, and direct URL access to blocked pages is redirected. **Action-Level Permissions** Control common WordPress actions including creating, editing, deleting, and publishing posts or pages; uploading media; managing comments; managing users; installing, activating, updating, and deleting plugins; managing themes; and importing or exporting data. **WooCommerce-Aware Controls** When WooCommerce is active, the plugin adds WooCommerce- specific action controls for orders, products, coupons, reports, settings, and order status changes. **Third-Party Plugin Action Groups** The available action list can automatically include controls for supported plugins when they are active, including Easy Digital Downloads, Advanced Custom Fields, and Gravity Forms. **Unauthorized Action Alerts** Set one or more alert email addresses to receive notifications when a restricted action or blocked admin page access attempt occurs. **Audit Log** Track role-related events and blocked access attempts with timestamp, user, action, context, and IP address. The audit log can be filtered and cleared from the admin screen. **Dashboard Overview** View quick stats for custom roles, total WordPress roles, audit events, and total users. The dashboard also lists recent audit events and active custom roles. **Role Management Tools** Edit, enable, disable, and delete custom roles from a dedicated role management table. Built-in WordPress roles are protected from deletion. **Role-Based Login Redirects** Send users with a custom role to a specific URL after login. **Admin Color Scheme Assignment** Assign a WordPress admin color scheme per custom role to make role-specific admin experiences easier to identify. **Developer Friendly** The available action groups can be extended with the `digages_rm_available_actions` filter.
