Manage user roles and capabilities with AI

Create custom roles or adjust capabilities in plain language, with lockout protection built in and no role editor plugin.

Difficulty Intermediate
Time ~10 min

Prerequisites

A connected site and an admin account.

The prompt
Use WPVibe to adjust roles on my site: [what you want, e.g. let Editors manage plugins, or create a limited Client role].

First list the current roles and capabilities so I can see the starting point. Explain what each change will allow before making it, and never remove capabilities that could lock me out of my own admin.

Make the changes one at a time with my approval, then show me the final role setup.

Skip pasting the full prompt. Drop this into your AI on a site that already has WPVibe:

Run the “Manage user roles and capabilities with AI” recipe from the WPVibe cookbook on my connected site.

Want Editors to manage plugins, or a limited Client role that can edit content but never touch settings? That usually means installing a role editor plugin and picking through a wall of capability checkboxes.

With WPVibe, you describe the access you want in plain language. The AI lists your current roles and capabilities so you can see the starting point, explains what each change will allow, and applies changes one at a time with your approval. Lockout protection is built in: it will not strip capabilities that would lock you out of your own admin.

Paste the prompt into your AI client with WPVibe connected and describe the role or permission change you need.

Outcome

Roles and capabilities match what you asked for, with every change approved and admin access protected.
