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 users on your Dashboard site. With the custom roles you create, you can limit access to specific MainWP Dashboard features, add-ons, and child sites. To create your MainWP Management team, you need to:
1

Create your custom role(s)

2

Define permissions and select allowed add-ons and 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 or 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 Admin 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.
