Access
WordPress user permissions per role and per area — down to a single page
The WordPress roles are five boxes, and every client fits badly into all of them. Here you decide per role and per area: see and change, see only, or hidden. Fine switches go down to publishing, deleting and changing an address, and a single page can have a rule of its own.
Hidden means gone.
Not greyed out.
Per area
- Pages, blog, media, forms, messages, users
- Shop, memberships, newsletter, statistics, SEO
- Templates, the site look, modules, settings
- Three states: see and change, see only, hidden
- Hidden really is hidden — the screen does not exist for them
Fine switches
- Publish, but not delete
- Edit a page, but not change its address
- Upload pictures, but not empty the library
- Change words and pictures, but not move a block
- Rules for one single page, on top of the role
And around it
- A client area with your logo instead of wp-admin
- Two-factor sign-in with a passkey or an app
- A log of who changed what, and when
- Every save is a version you can restore
- Your own roles, not only the five WordPress has
Roles
Five boxes were never enough.
An editor who may write but not publish. A marketing person who may touch the blog and the newsletter and nothing else. A caretaker who may change the opening hours and must not find the templates. You build those roles here, area by area, and the client area shows each person exactly the screens they have.
In the editor
Change the words, keep the layout.
The most useful switch of the lot: a role may edit text and swap pictures, but not move, delete or restyle a block. The layout you built survives the year after handover, and the client still updates their own prices — which is the whole reason they wanted a WordPress site.
The client area
What they see instead of WordPress.
Pages, blog, messages, media, forms, orders, statistics and users in plain words, with your logo on top and larger text if their eyes want it. No plugin list, no update notices, no settings they should not touch. The WordPress dashboard stays with you.
Questions
Does this replace a role plugin?
For the ambera areas, yes: the permissions are part of the plugin and cover every screen it brings. WordPress capabilities underneath are untouched, so anything else you have installed keeps working as it did.
Can I give one person access to one page?
Yes. On top of the role, a single page can carry a rule — this person may edit this page, and nothing else.
Does the client ever see wp-admin?
Only if you leave the door open. The client area is a front end of its own at /themebuilder/admin/, and you can keep the WordPress dashboard out of their reach entirely.
Is it in the free version?
The client area and the roles are in Light. The fine switches per area and the rules for a single page are Pro.
