Description

Roles enables configuring gallery permissions for teams managing photographic archives in Modula, adding a screen in Modula > Settings > Protection > Roles with checkboxes to publish, edit, delete, access private galleries and upload files. Thus, those working with portfolios, image proofs or client areas can separate responsibilities without granting broad access to the WordPress dashboard.

Key Features of Roles

  • Role-based permissions
    Configures gallery capabilities for roles already registered in WordPress.
  • Controlled publishing
    Authorizes or blocks the creation and publication of galleries in Modula.
  • Targeted editing
    Determines who edits own, third-party, or private galleries.
  • Restricted deletion
    Separates permissions for deleting own or other authors’ galleries.
  • Media access
    Controls file uploads, edits, and deletions in the WordPress media library.

Benefits of Roles

  • Less unnecessary access
    Reduces wide permissions without blocking the visual publishing workflow.
  • Editorial organization
    Helps separate responsibilities among creation, review, and maintenance of galleries.
  • Collection control
    Prevents unauthorized changes to sensitive, private or client galleries.
  • More predictable workflow
    Facilitates delegating tasks without always relying on an administrative account.

Who is Roles for?

  • Photographers who work with assistants, editors, or supervisors responsible for publishing galleries on the site.
  • Those who use Modula for client areas and need to limit editing, deletion, and access to private galleries.
  • Studios and agencies that maintain visual archives with varying levels of responsibility in the dashboard.

How to download Roles

Roles is available for download here on Ultrapack. After downloading the .zip file, install it in Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin, select the .zip and activate. Modula must be installed so the extension applies its permissions.

The additional module embeds capability control directly into Modula’s gallery flow, without requiring manual code changes or WordPress functions. For sites with multiple people handling images, it helps keep the dashboard more organized, reduces accidental editing risks, and preserves access only to what each role truly needs to operate.
