Export users by role
by Jiri PILAT·9 months ago
Hello, the plugin is perfect, than you. Only one questions – is it possible to export all users of “group1” for example?
It is useful for other plugins (Notification) what aren’t able to work with UAM groups. Thx J.

Amazing
by hanspeter777·3 years ago
This plugin has made 3 plugins superfluous for me. It can create and restrict new backend user roles. It can also hide menu items individually etc. Great work!
Easy to use

Easy to use. Restrict some categories went smooth. For me, it replaced PublishPress Capabilities.

I mean is the developer(s) still active?
Because is it posible to set the inlog widget to dutch, and is it possible
When user A logs in he sees menu A and when user B logs in he sees menu B.
