Title: admin bar not shown Last modified: May 28, 2026 --- # admin bar not shown * [didier59450](https://wordpress.org/support/users/didier59450/) * (@didier59450) * [1 week, 4 days ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/admin-bar-not-shown/) * Hi, * Using UM for membership, I’ve conflict with plugins using permissions like User Role Editor or PublishPress Capabilities. These plugins allow to add a second role for user. * When user has its main role not authorizing “show admin bar” in UM, no admin bar will be shown even when secondary role is authorized in UM and in User Role. But he has access through direct link to wp-admin! What’s the trick? * How to deal with this case?

Main role (member) has no permission for “show admin bar” in UM, but secondary role (operator BA) has “mask admin bar” off and “access to wp-admin”. It’s the same choice as for editor role, who are accessing wp-admin and admin bar. * In User Role Editor, this member with secondary role “operator BA” has all BA permission and option “mask admin bar” not ticked. * ![](https://wordpress.org/36a5d05b-0684-48e2-ad32-04618b24f560) - This reply was modified 1 week, 3 days ago by [didier59450](https://wordpress.org/support/users/didier59450/). * Plugin Support [Yurii](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yuriinalivaiko/) * (@yuriinalivaiko) * [6 days, 4 hours ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/admin-bar-not-shown/#post-18926005) * Hello [@didier59450](https://wordpress.org/support/users/didier59450/) * What is the “mask admin bar” option?

I’m not surprised as editor has allready user role priority set to 50. * This user has a main role set to “member”, who has no permission for admin bar in UM. * But this user has also a secondary role (operator BA) who has permission for admin bar. * It seems that secondary role has no impact in UM. * [missveronica](https://wordpress.org/support/users/missveronicatv/) * (@missveronicatv) * [3 days ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/admin-bar-not-shown/#post-18929679) * [@didier59450](https://wordpress.org/support/users/didier59450/) * > Users may have multiple roles.
