\"role-excluder\"<\/a>‘Role excluder’ came about from the need to hide or mask out certain roles from users who can\u00a0promote others. \u00a0This is necessary when\u00a0the promoters\u00a0don’t have the full Administrator level of access and are acting as a second level administrators\/staff members.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

The free\u00a0Role Includer<\/a>\u00a0 plugin, \u00a0like other role type plugins, \u00a0creates a settings screen to assign roles to users with one difference; its not trying to do everything. \u00a0Other such plugins allow Administrators to\u00a0change and manipulate the capabilities of users and\/or roles and they do a good job at this. \u00a0However, the most popular versions don’t easily have delegated authority to lower levels of administration. \u00a0The ‘Role Includer’ plugin keeps it simply about role assignment to other users, where ‘Role Excluder’ comes into play is when a lower admin level users (with the ‘promote_users’ capability) are allowed to assign roles, but should not have the ability to assign high end role access such as\u00a0‘Adimistrator’.. ‘Super Administrator’ etc…<\/p>\n

As shown here the ‘Role excluder’ plugin allows for any role to be given a mask, below the ‘Staff Admin’ role has been enabled to generate a mask..<\/p>\n

\"Roles-tab\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We can now go to the ‘staff_admin’ tab to mask\/disable individual roles from view, below the role has been configured to\u00a0have no sight\/availability of the ‘Administrator’ or ‘Developer’ roles.<\/p>\n

\"staff_admin_tab\"<\/a>
\n<\/a>
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

So go download the free ‘Role Includer’ plugin, purchase the ‘Role Excluder’ plugin and you can quickly delegate\u00a0authority to prompt users without giving too much authority away!<\/p>\n\t
