**Extension Add-on** - This add-on provides standalone functionality within MainWP Dashboard. No third-party plugins required.
[MainWP Team Control Add-on](https://mainwp.com/add-on/team-control/) 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:
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 WordPress admin sections, you will need to use a third-party plugin. Any role created by the extension is equivalent to the Administrator role outside of the MainWP Dashboard plugin.
The Team Control screen has two tabs:
* **Dashboard Users** - View users immediately, filter by one or more roles, search the users table, and apply bulk actions.
* **Roles & Permissions** - Create roles, review role descriptions, see how many users have each role, and manage or delete roles.
## Create a Custom Role
To create a custom role,
The **Create Role / Manage Permissions** modal includes the role information fields and permission sections together, so you can define the role before saving it.
After the role is created, it appears in the **Roles & Permissions** table.
## Define Role Permissions
Use **Select by Site** or **Select by Tag** to choose the child sites this role can access.
After setting custom permissions, you are ready to assign this role to an existing user or to [create a new user](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/users-add-new-screen/) with this role. By selecting permissions, add-ons, and child sites, you are allowing users with this role to use those actions only on the allowed sites. If you grant access through **Select by Tag**, the role can access the child sites that belong to those selected tags.
## Assign Role to a User
The users table loads automatically when you open the tab.
Use the role filter in the action bar and click **Filter Users**, or use the table search field to narrow the visible users.
Use the checkbox next to the user. You can select multiple users when you need to assign the same role to more than one account.
Select the new role, then click **Apply**.
**Note:** If you'd like a user to have access through a site tag, grant the role access to that tag in **Allowed Child Sites** > **Select by Tag**.
## Edit Custom Role
Use the table search, sorting, pagination, or the **Users** count column to review the available roles. The **Users** count links to the Dashboard Users tab filtered by that role.
Use **Select by Site** or **Select by Tag** to choose the child sites this role can access.
By selecting permissions, add-ons, and child sites, you are allowing users with this role to use those actions only on the allowed sites.
## Delete Custom Role
If any users currently have that role, choose a replacement role for each user in the confirmation dialog.
