MainWP Team Control

Description

The Team Control add-on adds a layer of team management to the MainWP dashboard, allowing you to create secondary user accounts with granular permissions over child sites, extensions, and administrative actions. Built for agencies and professionals who delegate WordPress maintenance, the module defines who can access which sites, run updates, install plugins, or only view reports, without exposing the credentials of the primary administrator.

Key Features

• Individual team accounts
  Creates separate profiles for each member with their own login within the MainWP dashboard.
• Permissions by child site
  Determines which connected sites each user can view, manage, or ignore.
• Administrative action control
  Restricts operations such as updating core, installing plugins, removing themes, or running backups.
• Extension visibility
  Allows or blocks each member’s access to extensions installed in the main dashboard.
• Assignment by site groups
  Applies permission rules in bulk using the site groups already configured in MainWP.

Team Control Benefits

• Secure task delegation
  Members perform maintenance without needing the primary administrator’s credentials.
• Agency operational scalability
  Enables distributing hundreds of sites among developers, support, and resellers with clear rules.
• Reduced human error
  Limits sensitive actions to specific profiles, preventing accidental changes to client sites.
• Clear accountability trail
  Separates what each user can do, making internal auditing and process review easier.

Who Is It For?

• WordPress agencies with maintenance and support teams that manage multiple clients.
• Freelancers and consultants who subcontract developers for specific tasks on managed sites.
• Managed hosting companies and resellers that offer a WordPress panel as a service.

By incorporating team control into MainWP, Team Control turns the central dashboard into a multi-user environment, where each technician operates within the scope defined by the administrator. For growing agencies, the practical result is being able to expand the team without compromising security, while keeping access management compatible with collaborative and auditable workflows.
