Thanks. Your suggestions are clear and helpful. I will include this work into my development plan. I will inform you as 1st update related to this functionality will be available.
Thanks for sharing this.
It’s a good point to start with.
Let’s imaging we have the ‘Roles’ menu under Network Admin, which lists all existing roles in alphabetical order. And what’s further? This needs to be discussed.
Users under Network Admin is about add/remove a user to the subsite. There is nothing about user rights at that subsite here, because user may have different roles and capabilities at every subsite.We may list roles similar Users list, that is to show the list of roles with sublist (at every role row) of subsites at which this role exists.
But:
1) if you wish to edit this role, physically it has a separate data set at every subsite. So the link ‘Edit’ under the role does not have sense in this mode. We need ‘edit’ link for every subsite.
2) There are the multisite networks with very large quant of subsites (thousands). So the listing of this kind is unusable for the large networks.2nd (preferable) way to show this information – list all existing roles from all existing subsites as a separate rows with these required columns: role name, subsite. So you may quickly filter out needed role. There will be the ‘Edit’ link to open the selected role of selected subsite, ‘Delete’ link.
What’s additional (including network related) functionality may be needed/available here?As about current model of work with roles under network admin, it’s appeared not at the empty place. A lot of multisite network owners wish to have the same roles set at every subsite. So this is a way to synchronize changes from the main site to the whole network.
I’m ready to include more details to the confirmation message linked to the ‘Network Update’ button. Do you have your variant of such message?Hi Wolfgang,
You may always get information about capabilities in use opening “Admin menu” window for the “Administrator” role. Menu items under “Appearance” menu are protected with ‘edit_theme_options’.
Add ‘edit_theme_options’ to your role, update it. Then open “Admin menu” for this role and block unneeded menu items for it.Hi Conrad,
What kind of the access restrictions do you need to set: for view or for editing?
For edit access there is a bulk action ‘Edit access’ at the ‘Posts’ list page. After selecting it and click ‘Apply’ you will see popup dialog window where you may input posts and/or users ID list to apply those restrictions for.View access for the role allows to input posts ID list too.
Hi,
This filter is useful only if you restricted the list of pages available to the user for the editing.
Check if user really has ‘Staff’ role. Try to deactivate all other plugins and test.
If you have ‘Activate “Create” capability for posts/pages/custom post types’ option active at ‘Settings->User Role Editor’, role should have capability ‘create_shop_coupons’ to see missing “Add Coupon” button.
I confirm the bug – User Role Editor did not added such capability automatically. I will prepare the fix.
Quick turnaround – add ‘create_shop_coupons’ capability manually.There is no such feature at Pro version currently. Thanks for the idea for future development. Yes, it’s possible.
I hope this post will help:
https://www.role-editor.com/restrict-the-list-of-parent-pages/Hi,
The best way to replicate all roles from the main site to all subsites of the network is to click “Update Network” button at User Role Editor opened under “Network Admin – Users”.
When you click “Update Network” you should see popup window like this

There is an option there to copy widgets access restrictions from main site to all others with roles together. Does it work as expected?I confirm that menu access data is not copied currently. Export/Import data include only roles itself without extra data, like menu, widgets, etc. permissions for that role.
Initially, as different sites may have different plugins and themes set I did not think that such feature will be requested by users. But I see now, that it may be useful for someone. Your report is not the 1st.I plan to add these features to one of the future updates: replicating and export/import all User Role Editor saved data, not roles only.
@birgitEFGS: Thanks for the information. I plan to limit a list of “not selected” URL blocked by “admin menu access” add-on with the URLs only which are included to the admin menu. This should resolve issues similar to one with posts edit page blocking. I will include this fix to the next update (1-2 weeks).
Hi Robert,
Thanks a lot for so detailed recommendations/suggestions. I appreciate it. Especially, the news about Justin Tadlock “Members” plugin recent update. It costs to pay the attention for, really.
Regards,
Vladimir.
