The main settings page (Settings > SlugPilot) where you can configure the global author base, role-based author bases, and automatic/bulk slug updates.

This plugin allows full control of your user permalinks, allowing you to change both the author base (the ‘/author/’ portion of the author URLs), and the author slug (defaults to the username of the author). You can set the author base globally, or you can set it to be user-specific based on a user’s role. You now have the power to craft the perfect URL structure for your Author pages.

WordPress default structure http://example.com/author/username/.

SlugPilot – Author Permalink Control allows for http://example.com/ninja/master-ninja/.

Using a role-based author base would allow for http://example.com/ida/master-splinter/ (for an Administrator Role), or http://example.com/koga/leonardo/ (for a Subscriber Role).

Pull requests are always welcome!
