Simply brilliant

They simplest is best and this plugin is no exception. Install, activate, tick the boxes and save … and you’re done. Works out of the box, no fuss, no hassles and makes your site logged in look really

Nice ‘N Easy

Does exactly what it says it does, without fuss or trouble. Every WP role and bbPress (Forum) role can be addressed individually, very nice.

I wanted that certain role of users can not see or have access to the Worpress desktop or any wordpress feature form the backend. In seconds this plugin did just that! Installed it, selected the user
