Overview
This plugin allows you to select multiple roles for a user – something that WordPress already supports “under the hood”, but doesn’t provide a user interface for.
User edit and Add new user screens will display a checklist of roles instead of the default role dropdown. The main user list screen will also display all roles a user has.
It also supports well Multisite mode.
That’s it. No extra settings.

Cleanest way to assign multiple roles
by Old account·5 years ago
Thank you for this plugin, this is the cleanest interface to add multiple roles that I’ve seen. The popular User Role Editor plugin should take this as an example of good UX.
