FAQ
-
Can I lock myself out with Access Role Creator?
-
No. Administrators cannot be restricted and are always protected from lockouts.
-
Will the styling apply to administrators?
-
By default, no. Administrators see the standard WordPress admin interface. Non-admin roles will see the custom styling you configure.
-
What happens to my settings if I deactivate the plugin?
-
Your settings are preserved when you deactivate. They are only deleted when you completely delete the plugin from WordPress.
-
Is this plugin multisite compatible?
-
The plugin is compatible with multisite installations. All settings are stored per site and are not managed network-wide.
-
How many role restrictions can I create?
-
You can create unlimited role restrictions. Select any role and choose which menu items to hide from their sidebar.
-
Hiding a menu item removes it from the admin sidebar for that role. This is a visual cleanup to simplify the dashboard. Users may still access pages via direct URL if they know the address.
