Product Description
MemberPress User Roles bridges MemberPress membership levels with WordPress user roles, automating role assignment based on subscription status. Instead of manually managing user permissions, role changes happen automatically as membership statuses change.
Role Automation
- Automatic role assignment when members subscribe to specific levels
- Role updates on membership upgrade, downgrade, or expiration
- Custom role creation for membership-specific permissions
- Multiple role support for members with multiple subscriptions
- Role restoration on subscription renewal or reactivation
Access Control
By linking roles to membership levels, you can use WordPress's built-in capability system alongside MemberPress rules. This dual approach provides fine-grained access control — MemberPress manages content protection while WordPress roles handle plugin permissions, admin access, and custom capabilities.
Use Cases
Common implementations include granting different admin capabilities to premium members, enabling BuddyPress or bbPress moderator roles for VIP members, assigning WooCommerce wholesale customer roles based on membership level, and managing LMS instructor roles through membership subscriptions.
