Does not allow to add roles.

Plugin description reads, “Add new and manage existing user roles.” The plugin does not allow this unless you purchase a pro version. So… Better use the Force, Luke (or at least some other plugin). Un

Not working anymore

This plugin does not allow you to delete roles. At least not in 2020
