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 denied. **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. **Optional Digages Role Templates** In **Role Manager > Role Templates**, import Direct Payments Manager, Invoice Manager or Engraver Packer. Each card lists its permissions and plugin availability. No roles are created automatically, and importing never overwrites an existing role. * **Direct Payments Manager:** View, confirm, cancel and update direct payments under WooCommerce > Direct Payments. Cannot access the WooCommerce Orders screen, ordinary WooCommerce orders, payment settings or payment deletion. * **Invoice Manager:** View, create and send invoices, add recipients and generate invoice PDFs. Cannot edit existing invoices or recipients, delete invoices, manually change payment status or manage settings. * **Engraver Packer:** View engraving orders and engraving details only. Cannot mark orders done/pending, manage templates or adjust prices. Free and Pro editions of Direct Payments for WooCommerce, Digages Direct Invoices and Digages Engraver are supported. Templates can be imported when a matching plugin is installed. Their plugin permissions become available while the plugin and its dependencies are active, pause on deactivation and return on reactivation. Disabling a role keeps its plugin permissions off. Edit an imported role in **Manage Roles** to change its menus, individual actions, and assigned users. The invoice integration uses `digages-direct-invoices` and `digages-direct-invoices- pro`; the older `direct-payments-wp` plugins contain payment forms rather than this invoice workflow. Pro-only functionality still requires the corresponding Pro plugin and license. **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. **Help Center** The Help Center uses the Direct Invoices admin design and bundled Digages plugin catalog, with Role Manager guides, support links, and plugin status cards. **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.

I had been looking for a modern plugin to manage staff permissions without the complexity of older role editors. This is intuitive, feels lightweight, and does the job perfectly. I had been searching for a simple way to control what different staff members could access in my WooCommerce store without giving everyone Administrator privileges. This Role Manager made the whole process straightforward. Creating roles is easy, and I was able to give each team member the permissions they needed without exposing sensitive settings or customer data. The interface is clean, easy to understand, and much less intimidating than manually editing capabilities. It has saved me a lot of time and given me peace of mind knowing that my staff only have access to the parts of the store they actually need. If you run a WooCommerce store with multiple employees, this plugin is definitely worth trying.
