How Do I Create User Roles in WordPress?
Creating user roles in WordPress is a simple process that can help organize and control user access to content and features on your website. To create a role, first go to your WordPress admin area and click on “Users.
” This will open the Users screen, which you can see in the screenshot below.
Next, click on the “Add New” button and fill out the form as shown in the screenshot below. In the “Role” field, you’ll need to provide a name for the role, and in the “Access” field, you’ll need to decide which features and content the role will have access to.
To give users of the role access to specific content, you can create a category in the “Posts” category for the role, and then add posts to that category that the role members can access. Alternatively, you can give users of the role access to all of the posts in the WordPress blog by setting the “Access” field to “All Posts.”
When you’re finished creating the role, click on the “Save” button to save it. Next, you’ll need to assign the role to a user.
To do this, go to the Users screen again and click on the user’s name. Next, click on the “Roles” tab, and then click on the “Add New Role” button.
In the “Role Name” field, you’ll need to enter the name of the role you created earlier, and in the “Access” field, you’ll need to choose the options that the role allows. You can give users of the role access to specific posts, all of the posts in a given category, or all of the posts on the website.
When you’re finished assigning the role to a user, click on the “Save” button to save it. Finally, you’ll need to make sure that the user has the role assigned to them.
To do this, go to the Users screen and click on the user’s name. Next, click on the “Roles” tab, and then click on the “Edit Role” button.
In the “Role Name” field, you’ll need to enter the name of the role that you assigned to the user, and in the “Access” field, you’ll need to choose the options that the role allows. Finally, in the “Enabled” field, you’ll need to check the box next to the role name to make sure that the role is enabled for the user.
When you’re finished editing the role, click on the “Save” button to save it.
