Is this plugin actively being maintained. It is listed as being not updated for 3 years and therefore not tested against current version of WP.
So what is the future for this plugin.
Hi This is a great plugin. Simple to use and does the job – except for ‘Profile’ menu item.
I have checked the box for all my non admin roles for “Users”, “Your Profile” but the ‘Profile’ menu item still shows up when these non-admin roles go to the admin UI (to do what they are allowed to do).
I just don’t want (or need) for my users to see the menu item page – its just to complex for them, they need a much simpler profile form to make any changes on – like the one my members plugin provides.
Hi Anh,
This plugin looks interesting, although It’s a bit of a concern that the ability to lock admins out simply by ticking a box is possible.
Would it not be better to disable that column entirely, or have a “whitelist” of some kind, or some kind of emergency access link in case of administrator error?
The fact is that the Admin role should not ever be blocked from accessing the Admin area, this really goes against Best Practices.
If you’re going to add that kind of restriction, then it should be possible to block certain Administrators only if they have a second role assigned, although I still don’t think blocking Administrators from the Admin is good practice, unless this situation is only available and applicable in a Network environment where the Super Admin has that power.
There is a real danger here that if there are multiple Administrators, then one of them could use this power maliciously in case of an internal relationship turning sour, or in case of a breach a hacker could hide things from the site Admins by setting up a custom role.
