Overview
Comment Moderation Role by WPBeginner
This comment moderation plugin improves the comment moderation permissions on your WordPress site.
The new role “WPB Comment Moderator” is created on your site to allow you to give users access only to the comment moderation screen. Unlike the WordPress default settings, a comment moderator is not required to be able to author posts, so you can keep your content secure.
