Description

Permissions Manager controls what each user role sees in the WordPress dashboard, restricting admin menus, configuration options, plugin areas and specific dashboard resources based on the core’s native capabilities. It is aimed at those who deliver sites to end customers and need to hide technical screens without editing code, keeping editing available only where it makes sense for the workflow.

Key Features of the Permissions Manager

  • Custom permission profiles
    Builds rule sets per user role without editing functions.php or core roles.
  • Sidebar menu item locking
    Hides specific entries in the admin sidebar based on the logged-in role.
  • Plugin page restriction
    Limits access to configuration screens of third-party plugins installed on the site.
  • Granular capability control
    Enables or disables individual WordPress capabilities within each created profile.
  • Admin interface management
    Centralizes creation and editing of rules on a dedicated screen within the dashboard.

Benefits of the Permissions Manager

  • Lean dashboard for delivery
    End customers receive a simplified admin, with access only to what they need to operate.
  • Reduced support tickets
    Reduces incidents caused by accidental changes to sensitive areas.
  • Shorter onboarding
    Editorial teams learn to publish without ignoring irrelevant technical screens.
  • Isolation of critical areas
    Protects theme, plugin and tool settings from non-administrative role access.

Who is the Permissions Manager recommended for?

  • Agencies that deliver finished WordPress sites and want to protect the admin from client curiosity.
  • Those who maintain editorial portals with multiple writers and need to expose only what each role should see.
  • Those who develop institutional sites and want to lock advanced options so the client can operate without risking layout or configuration breaks.

How to Download the Permissions Manager

Permissions Manager is available for download here on Ultrapack. After downloading the .zip file, install it in Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin, select the file and activate. Permission management options will appear as a new item in the admin sidebar after activation.

Those who manage WordPress sites for third parties know that the default panel exposes options the client does not need to see and often causes issues when someone opens the wrong screen. Permissions Manager resolves this friction with a layer of control over what each role accesses, transforming the WordPress admin into an environment tailored to each team’s technical level.
