    Can you suggest the hook or any setting so that I can restrict the dashboard or give an access to dashboard for custom role as well.

  • Hi Sonali,

    Permissions in WordPress and in this plugin are explicitly tied to specific capabilities and not roles. Typically the point of creating custom roles is so that you can assign a very specific combination of capabilities to user and also signify that they are a member of that user role group.

    The Advanced section of the Dashboard Access settings does support custom capabilities, so if you were to create a custom capability that only users with your custom role would have, then you could set that role as a requirement for access. Note that you would want to make sure that your account and your other administrator accounts were also assigned that custom capability so that you don’t inadvertently lock yourself out of your site.

    Hope that helps.

    It would be useful if in the settings it was possible to close all who are not registered or display a list of all the roles defined in WP with the ability to mark those that need to be closed (including guests) or those that need to be left open

    thx)
