Rather than give this plugin a low rating\/review I decided to let you know why I might give it a low rating\/review. I hope it helps.<\/p>\n<p>I went looking for a plugin to help me identify stray\/left-over permissions from previously removed plugins. But I wasn&#8217;t able to distinguish what permissions belonged to what with this plugin.<\/p>\n<p>I was able to see the stray permission in question using Admin Menu Editor, but it did not appear in this plugin. None-the-less, I gave it a test run to see if it would be useful for something else.<\/p>\n<p>After installing it, I used it to run a backup of the initial state. <\/p>\n<p>I then loaded the Administrator role and noticed a few boxes weren&#8217;t checked. I thought this odd since I own the server and should be superadmin by default, so I checked those boxes and saved it. I have no idea if they were core permissions or related to a plugin, it doesn&#8217;t give much indication.<\/p>\n<p>I then created a new role for another admin with only one box unchecked (ability to delete Pages made by others) and immediately lost this user in the author drop-down in both Quick Edit and full edit. I was unable to restore this capability to the Administrator role using the plugin, so I restored the last backup and was able to see the user again.<\/p>\n<p>And that&#8217;s it &#8211; end test run! I was able to uninstall the plugin, reinstall it and replicate the issue.<\/p>\n<p>Hence, I&#8217;d give the plugin at least 1 star for its ability to fully restore the database back to the initial state and leaving backup entries behind for future reference. <\/p>\n<p>But I didn&#8217;t really achieve much other than loosing a few hours troubleshooting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-11884665","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/11884665","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/11884665\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11884665"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
