Features & How They Help You

🛡️ Advanced Role Manager

The core of DominoRole is its robust Role Manager, designed to give you full control over your site’s hierarchy without the fear of breaking default configurations.
* Clean & Responsive Dashboard: View all user roles with capability counts in a clean, two-column grid layout. Default WordPress roles (like Administrator and Editor) are safely separated from custom roles.
* Create Custom Roles: Build new roles from scratch. Example: Create a “Community Manager” role specifically for someone who only needs to moderate comments and manage users, keeping them out of your site’s sensitive settings.
* Clone Existing Roles: Easily duplicate any existing role with all its capabilities intact. Why it helps: If you need a role almost identical to an Editor but with slightly fewer permissions, simply clone the Editor role and remove the specific capabilities.
* Role Renaming: Rename any non-protected custom role on the fly.
* Reset Roles: Instantly reset a role to its default state (removes all capabilities except read).
* Import & Export Roles: Easily migrate your perfectly configured roles between a staging site and a production site via JSON files.

🔐 Powerful Permission Manager

Managing what a user can actually do shouldn’t be a guessing game. Our Permission Manager is built for clarity and speed.
* Multi-Tabbed Interface: Easily manage capabilities with organized tabs.
* Most Used Permissions: A curated list of top capabilities (read, edit posts, upload files, etc.) with detailed tooltips explaining their exact functions.
* Admin Menu Permissions: Manage capabilities tied directly to core WordPress admin menu areas.
* All Permissions: A comprehensive view with bulk action checkboxes and live search filters.
* Active Permissions: A quick review tab showing only the active permissions for the role, with interactive toggle-to-revoke buttons.
* Grouped Capabilities: View all capabilities intelligently grouped by category (Posts, Pages, Media, Users, WooCommerce, Plugins, etc.). Why it helps: Instead of scrolling through hundreds of alphabetical capabilities, you can instantly find all WooCommerce-related permissions in one block.

🧭 Dynamic Menu Access Viewer

Ever enabled a capability and wondered what it actually unlocked in the sidebar?
* See What You Unlock: Every permission row in the Permission Manager includes a unique “Menu Access” button.
* Visual Confirmation: Clicking this button opens a modal displaying exactly which WordPress admin menus and submenus will become accessible when that capability is enabled.
* Clear Table Layout: Menus are displayed in a clean two-column table (Main Menu and Sub Menu). Why it helps: It completely removes the guesswork from permission assignment. You’ll know exactly what your users will see before you even save.

👥 Comprehensive User Manager

Managing individual users is just as important as managing their roles.
* Intuitive User Grid: View all users with advanced search, role filters, and lightning-fast pagination.
* Instant Role Assignment: Change a user’s primary role with a single click.
* Multiple Roles: Assign multiple different roles to a single user simultaneously. Example: A user can be both an “Author” and a “Shop Manager” at the same time, inheriting the combined capabilities of both roles.
* Temporary Roles: Set a temporary role with an automatic expiry date and time. When it helps: If you hire a freelance developer to fix your site, give them a Temporary Administrator role set to expire in 48 hours. Once expired, their access is revoked automatically—no manual cleanup required.

⏱️ Temporary Permissions

Sometimes changing a whole role is too broad; you just need to grant one specific ability temporarily.
* Granular Time-Limited Access: Grant individual capabilities to specific users for a limited time.
* Precision Expiry: Set exact expiry dates and times using a built-in datetime picker.
* Status Tracking: View all temporary permissions with real-time status indicators (Active, Expired, Revoked).
* Example Use Case: An author needs to publish their own post (a capability usually reserved for Editors) just for today. You can grant them the publish_posts permission temporarily for 24 hours.

🧠 Smart Capability Detector

WordPress plugins often add hidden capabilities that go unnoticed by site admins.
* Auto-Discovery: Automatically detects brand new capabilities when third-party plugins are installed or activated on your site.
* Plugin Attribution: Shows exactly which plugin registered the new capabilities.
* Admin Notifications: Displays a gentle admin notice when new capabilities are detected, keeping you informed of security changes.
* Why it helps: If a newly installed gallery plugin adds a manage_galleries capability, DominoRole will detect it instantly, allowing you to assign it to your custom roles right away.

🚀 One-Click Permission Presets

Don’t want to build roles from scratch?
* Instant Setup: Create perfectly configured roles with a single click using predefined templates:
* Content Writer (Can write but not publish)
* Editor (Full content control)
* SEO Manager (Access to SEO tools)
* Support Agent (Customer management)
* Shop Manager (WooCommerce control)
* Teacher (LMS management)
* Accountant (Financial reporting access)
* Why it helps: Saves you hours of researching which specific capabilities correspond to common real-world jobs.
