Frequently asked questions

Answers for site owners, agencies and administrators before installing Titanium User Role Manager, Capabilities & Access Control.

Where can I get the free version?

You can install the Free version from WordPress.org: Titanium User Role Manager, Capabilities & Access Control.

Is Titanium User Role Manager, Capabilities & Access Control a membership plugin?

No. It manages WordPress roles, capabilities and role-based access tools. It does not replace PMPro, MemberPress, WooCommerce Memberships or subscription plugins.

Will it automatically create roles for me?

No. There is no setup wizard and no automatic role generation. You create, clone, edit and delete roles only when you choose to.

Can I use it only as a simple role editor?

Yes. The extra modules can be switched off, so you can use it purely for role and capability management if that is all you need.

Can I create, clone and delete WordPress roles?

Yes. The Free version includes role creation, cloning and deletion, with safety checks for used roles, default roles and the Administrator role.

Can I edit capabilities without writing code?

Yes. Capabilities can be managed from a visual interface with search and capability group filters, so you do not need to edit PHP or database values manually.

Can I change the default role for new users?

Yes. The Free version includes a compact default-role setting, with protection so the current default role cannot be deleted by accident.

Does it protect the Administrator role?

Yes. The Administrator role cannot be deleted, is not offered as a normal clone source, and is protected from dangerous capability removal.

What happens if I delete a role that users already have?

You must confirm the action first. The role is removed from assigned users, and any user who would otherwise have no role receives the current default registration role.

Can one user have multiple roles?

Yes. Multiple Roles is included in Free. When enabled, the user profile role selector becomes a clean checkbox list.

Is Multiple Roles enabled by default?

No. It is off on first install because it changes the WordPress profile role selector. You can enable it when you need it.

What are Smart Rules?

Smart Rules automatically remove selected roles when another role is added. This helps prevent conflicts such as Silver, Gold and Platinum roles being assigned together.

Will Smart Rules warn me when roles are removed?

Yes. When roles are changed on a user profile, the plugin shows an admin warning listing what was removed and links to the Smart Rules settings.

Can I restrict posts and pages by role?

Yes. Free includes post and page access control with role-based allow/block modes, login status modes, redirect URLs and denied messages.

Can restricted posts be hidden from archives and search?

Yes. For posts, you can choose whether restricted content is hidden from frontend lists, archives and search results, or only blocked after clicking.

Does Content Control affect pages the same way as posts?

Pages can be restricted, but the frontend list visibility option is only shown for posts because pages are normally not listed like posts in archives.

Can I restrict custom post types?

Free lets you enable Content Control for public custom post types. Pro is planned to add more advanced rule logic and taxonomy-aware controls.

Can I hide the WordPress admin bar by role?

Yes. Frontend & Login Tools includes admin bar hiding for selected roles.

Can I block dashboard access for certain roles?

Yes. You can block selected roles from opening the WordPress dashboard and send them back to the frontend.

Can I hide admin menu items by role?

Yes. The Free version includes basic admin menu visibility controls and can also block direct URL access to hidden admin screens.

Can I rename or reorder admin menus?

That is planned for Pro. Free focuses on hiding and blocking admin menu access, while Pro can add advanced menu editing such as rename, reorder and icon control.

Can I redirect users after login or logout?

Yes. Free includes simple role-based login and logout redirect URLs.

Does it include visibility shortcodes?

Yes. Free includes simple shortcodes for showing or hiding content by role and login status.

Will Pro add advanced shortcode rules?

Yes. Pro is planned to add advanced conditions such as AND/OR groups, role is not, capability checks and more flexible content visibility rules.

Can I filter users by role?

Yes. Free includes unlimited AND role filters, so you can combine conditions such as role is Silver and role is not Stripe.

Will Pro add saved user views and bulk actions?

Yes. Saved views, OR groups, filtered user export and bulk role actions are planned Pro features.

Does it include backups before role changes?

Yes. Safety backups are created before important role changes, restores and imports so you have a safer recovery path.

Can I import and export plugin settings?

Yes. Free can export plugin-managed data such as roles, capabilities, Smart Rules, Content Control settings, plugin settings and safety backups.

Does the export include passwords?

No. Passwords are not exported. Future Pro user-data export is planned to be passwordless and focused on safer migration and recovery.

Will Pro export full user data?

Yes, Pro is planned to add full user-data export and import without passwords, with preview, safer matching and rollback-style protections.

Can I see why a user has a permission?

This is planned for Pro. A permission explainer can show whether access comes from a role, user-specific capability, explicit deny rule or another source.

Will Pro include user-specific capabilities?

Yes. Pro is planned to allow carefully controlled user-specific capabilities for exceptions that should not require a whole new role.

Will Pro include explicit deny capabilities?

Yes. Explicit deny is planned as a Pro feature because it is powerful but needs careful UI and safety checks to avoid confusing access rules.

Will Pro include AND/OR access rules?

Yes. Advanced Content Control in Pro is planned to support condition groups such as logged-out OR role is Editor AND role is not Blocked.

Will Pro include role audit logs?

Yes. Role audit logs, history, restore points and change tracking are planned Pro features for serious sites and agencies.

Will Pro include permission scanners?

Yes. Planned scanners include dangerous capabilities, users with no role, conflicting roles, orphan capabilities and scheduled role checks.

Will it work with WooCommerce or other plugins?

It works with WordPress roles and capabilities, including custom roles and capabilities added by other plugins. It does not take over their payment, membership or subscription logic.

Can I use it with membership plugins?

Yes, but it does not replace them. Use your membership plugin for payments and levels, and Titanium User Role Manager, Capabilities & Access Control for safer role management and access tools.

Will it slow down my site?

The plugin is modular. Features such as Smart Rules, Content Control and Frontend & Login Tools can be switched off when not needed, so unused hooks do not run unnecessarily.

What happens if I disable a module?

Existing settings are kept, but the module stops enforcing its rules until you enable it again. Disabled module controls are shown as inactive rather than deleted.

Can I change the admin UI color?

Yes. Free includes predefined color themes such as Green, Blue, Red, Burgundy, Pink, Purple, Teal, Orange, White, Silver, Titanium and Black.

Can I delete all plugin data on uninstall?

Yes. There is a setting for deleting plugin-managed data on uninstall. WordPress core role and capability changes are not automatically reverted by uninstall.

Is multisite supported?

Basic role management can work on normal WordPress installs. Advanced multisite role sync and network-level tools are planned for Pro because they need extra safety controls.

Why not just use an older role editor?

Older role editors are useful, but Titanium User Role Manager, Capabilities & Access Control combines role editing, multiple roles, Smart Rules, Content Control, admin visibility, filters, safety backups and a modern interface in one workflow.

Titanium User Role Manager, Capabilities & Access Control Tutorials

10 practical ways to manage WordPress roles with clean visual control.

  • Role manager
  • Capabilities editor
  • Multiple roles
  • Access control

Step-by-step WordPress role management tutorials.

Each tutorial is written for real WordPress admin workflows: membership sites, client sites, editors, authors, private content, admin cleanup and safer permission changes.

01
Free Role Editor

How to create, clone and edit WordPress roles without code

WordPress roles decide what users can do on your site, but editing them manually can be risky. Titanium User Role Manager, Capabilities & Access Control gives you a visual role manager so you can create new roles, clone existing roles, edit role names and manage access without editing PHP or changing database values by hand.

How to set it up

  1. Open the Titanium User Role Manager screen in your WordPress admin area.
  2. Choose whether you want to create a new role from scratch or clone an existing role.
  3. Use cloning when the new role should start close to Editor, Author, Customer or another existing role.
  4. Review the role name, role slug and capabilities before saving.
  5. Save the role, then assign it to a test user before using it on important accounts.
02
Free Capabilities

How to edit WordPress capabilities more safely

Capabilities are the individual permissions inside a WordPress role. A role might be allowed to edit posts, publish pages, manage categories or upload files. Titanium helps you search, group and compare capabilities so permission changes are easier to understand before you save them.

How to work through a capability change

  1. Open the role you want to change in the role and capabilities editor.
  2. Use capability search or capability groups to find the permission you need.
  3. Compare the role against a known WordPress role when you are unsure what is missing.
  4. Change only the capabilities needed for the real task.
  5. Save the role and test with a user account that has only that role.
03
Free Multiple Roles

How to give one WordPress user multiple roles

WordPress normally focuses on one primary role in the user profile. Many real sites need more flexibility: a user might be a customer and a forum moderator, a member and an editor, or staff and a content contributor. Titanium Multiple Roles replaces the standard role selector with a clean checkbox workflow.

How to set it up

  1. Enable the Multiple Roles module in Titanium settings if it is not already enabled.
  2. Open the WordPress user profile you want to edit.
  3. Use the role checkbox list to assign more than one role to the user.
  4. Save the profile and check the warning or confirmation message after saving.
  5. Log in with a test account to confirm the user sees the correct admin and frontend access.
04
Free Content Control

How to restrict WordPress posts and pages by role

Not every page should be visible to every visitor. Titanium Content Control lets you restrict posts and pages by role or login status, choose what denied users see, and keep restricted posts out of frontend lists when needed.

How to set it up

  1. Edit the post or page you want to restrict.
  2. Find the Titanium content control settings for that content.
  3. Choose whether access should depend on login status, role, or another available rule.
  4. Select the roles that should be allowed or denied.
  5. Choose the denied-access behavior, save the content, then test with allowed and denied users.
05
Free Admin Access

How to hide WordPress admin menus and block dashboard access by role

Some users need a WordPress account but should not see the whole admin area. Titanium admin access tools help you hide the admin bar, block dashboard access, hide left-side admin menus and block direct access to hidden admin screens.

How to build a clean admin experience

  1. Decide which roles should be allowed into the WordPress dashboard.
  2. Use dashboard blocking for roles that should stay on the frontend.
  3. Hide the admin bar for roles that do not need WordPress admin shortcuts.
  4. Hide left-side admin menu items that are irrelevant or risky for a role.
  5. Enable direct access blocking for hidden admin screens where appropriate.
06
Free User Filters

How to find WordPress users by role combinations

On a busy site, the normal WordPress Users screen can be too limited. Titanium User Filters help you find users by role combinations, missing roles or blocked roles, so you can audit accounts and clean up access without manually checking every profile.

How to use filters practically

  1. Open the Titanium user filter tools from the WordPress admin area.
  2. Select the roles a user must have for the filter to match.
  3. Add roles the user must not have if you are checking for conflicts.
  4. Use missing-role filters to find accounts that need cleanup.
  5. Review the results before editing users in bulk or changing roles manually.
07
Free Smart Rules

How to automatically remove old or conflicting roles with Smart Rules

Role combinations can become messy over time. A user might keep an old role after an upgrade, or two roles might conflict with each other. Titanium Smart Rules can clean up selected old or conflicting roles when a new role is added, with clear admin warnings after profile saves.

How to plan a Smart Rule

  1. Identify the role that should trigger cleanup when it is added to a user.
  2. List the old or conflicting roles that should be removed.
  3. Create the Smart Rule in Titanium and keep the rule name clear.
  4. Test the rule on a non-admin test user first.
  5. Review the profile save warning or result message after the rule runs.
08
Free Backups

How to export, import and restore role settings before risky changes

Role and permission changes can affect the whole site. Titanium includes import, export and backup tools so you can move plugin-managed settings, keep a copy of your configuration and restore role data when needed.

A safer change process

  1. Export your current roles, settings and plugin-managed data before major changes.
  2. Download and store the JSON export somewhere safe.
  3. Make the role, capability or module changes you need.
  4. Test the result with separate user accounts before handing the site back to a client.
  5. Use restore tools if a role change needs to be rolled back.
09
Pro Advanced Permissions

How to use Pro tools for user-specific capabilities and explicit denies

Most WordPress permission work should happen at role level, but some advanced sites need more precise control. Pro permission tools are built for workflows like user-specific capabilities, explicit deny capabilities and explaining where a user’s final access comes from.

How to use advanced permissions carefully

  1. Start by checking whether a normal role-level capability change would solve the problem.
  2. Use user-specific capabilities only when one user really needs an exception.
  3. Use explicit deny logic carefully because it can override expected role access.
  4. Check the capability origin explainer when the final result is confusing.
  5. Document any user-specific exceptions so future admins understand why they exist.
10
Workflow Best Practice

How to build a safer WordPress role workflow for client sites

Client sites often grow messy because roles are changed quickly and nobody documents why. A safer workflow helps you avoid accidental access problems, confusing admin screens and risky permission drift across production sites.

A practical workflow

  1. List each real user type on the site before creating or editing roles.
  2. Keep role names simple, such as Staff, Client, Moderator or Content Manager.
  3. Use the least powerful role that still lets the user do their job.
  4. Test frontend content access and admin access separately.
  5. Export settings and document final role logic before client handover.
