    `Hi,

    First, thanks for the solution. Is amazing!

    I would know if the plugin have a feature to lock, set up passaword or limit access for user roles.

    I has been hacked before and even though the alleged hacker can access the admin profile, he will still be able to edit the snippets in php. I need to set a limit for these cases of access in the admin area, so that access to the edition will be only allowed after password authentication or something like that

    Is possible?

    Hi @ronanprado,

    By default, only administrator users are allowed to edit and activate WPCode snippets. Other user roles need to be assigned specific permissions to make changes.

    In the current version, there’s no extra layer to lock the snippet editing if someone gains access to your administrator account. I would recommend improving security for your site by using strong passwords for all administrator accounts and setting up two factor authentication for those users using a plugin like https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/two-factor/

    I also made a note about your request and we will consider potentially adding an extra optional layer for the scenario you described.
