question regarding admin control

    Hello!
    I have a few questions regarding the wordpress admin panel. Im building a social platform where members can also become moderators for the community. I do not want to give them full admin controls, rather limit them to approving/removing posts and comments and banning.
    Now i know how to distribute responsibilities but i want to be able to have the few specific admin tools available frontend on the website because its more convenient and i would like to avoid having them see the full admin settings. I wish i could attach a picture of an example. To describe it: above each comment/post/profile there are 3 dots which you can click on to activate a popup that allows specific roles to disable/delete/ban. Not sure what it’s called but i believe it’s a ui shortcut popup (please correct me if im wrong). I want to know how i can achieve this: is there a plugin i can use or would i need some coding?

    I also have a few other questions related to this issue:
    How could i add an admin option to disable/hide a profile while still allowing them to log in (this is helpful in case a member has a profile pic or other content that breaks guidelines. In this case i wouldnt want to ban them, rather disable/hide temporarily)? I am able to manually remove their profile picture, but cannot disable specific members from changing it again.

    How could i send a warning message/popup to specific members instead of banning right away?

    I appreciate your time, thank you

    You can upload your screenshot to any public image-sharing website then share the upload image URL here.

    Regarding your requirements, You’ll have to use some plugins to enabled those kinds of features. There are few plugins available related to user management you can test those plugin and find the suitable one for your need.

    Thank you. Would you mind giving me some direction on finding these plugins? So far ive found ones that allow you to make pages in your site to access admin panel. But i havent found what i was really looking for

    Looks for User Profile, User Dashboard, User Approve, and similar keywords to find plugins. It totally depends on your website setup, I am not sure how you’re making a social network. But one plugin will depend on another one or you’ll have to customize things or custom code to make your requirements possible. Chances are low that you’ll get plugins and they will fulfill all your needs without customizations.
