What You’ll Learn

  • Creating custom roles for team members
  • Defining permissions and allowed sites
  • Assigning roles to users
  • Managing role-based access control
Extension Add-on - This add-on provides standalone functionality within MainWP Dashboard. No third-party plugins required.
MainWP Team Control Add-on allows you to create custom roles for your dashboard site users. With the custom roles you create, you can limit access to certain MainWP Dashboard features and actions. Also, it allows you to limit access only to certain child sites. To create your MainWP Management team, you need to:
1

Create your custom role(s)

2

Define Permissions and select allowed child sites for the role(s)

3

Create new users (optional)

4

Assign the role to dashboard site users

Users without permission won’t be able to use unselected actions nor to access certain MainWP Dashboard pages. Team Control extension allows you to create custom roles only on your MainWP Dashboard site. Roles created with the MainWP Team Control extension have effect only inside the MainWP Dashboard plugin. If you need to limit access to certain WP Admins sections, you will need to use a 3rd party plugin. Any role created by the extension is equivalent to the Administrator role outside of the MainWP Dashboard plugin.
