If you need to manage custom roles or tweak specific capabilities for your clients, look no further. User Role Editor is lightweight, perfectly integrated into the WordPress core logic, and extremely reliable.
It allows us to restrict client access safely without breaking site functionality. A 5-star, must-have plugin for any serious development environment.

This plugin is working well. Thank you for the developer who put lot of time into it. Very nice, lightest and most simple.

I'm a DIY self learner, and had a great experience with URE. It has vast capabilities and is organized to make it easy to navigate and apply so many customizations. Very intuitive. On the one occasion I needed guidance, the tech support was quick, personal and a success. Highly recommend.

I hate giving bad reviews as I know how much work goes into these plugins, often by one person. But we have wasted so much time and lost orders because of a known bug. I can see that others have reported this bug from at least 4 months ago. So I want to warn others. The whole point of us using this plugin was to create a custom role and to assign specific capabilities to that role. For a short while it worked so we launched the site. And then it stopped working and caused chaos. We have spent FOREVER trying to figure this out. We will be moving to a different plugin asap.

Didn't break my site, it just doesn't work. On multisite, trying to give user permissions to install plugins–as it indicated in settings that it could do that. Appears to uninstall cleanly, at least.

I've tried two other plugins to no avail. This one works great!

Journal des modifications
[4.66.1] 25.08.2026
- Fix: URE_Assign_Role::$lib property was changed to protected.
- Fix: URE_Uninstall::delete_options() private function changed to protected.
- Fix: URE_Uninstall::init_options_list() referenced ‘ure_task_queue’, which never matched URE_Task_Queue::OPTION_NAME (‘ure_tasks_queue’), so that option was never deleted on uninstall.
- Fix: URE_Core::define_files() – class URE_Uninstall was not added correctly, null was written instead of class name.
- Fix: activating Pro while free was already active caused a fatal « Cannot redeclare ure_log_error() » error; the function declaration is now guarded with function_exists().
- Fix: activating this plugin while the paired Pro plugin was already active silently left both active instead of deactivating the paired one, because the register_activation_hook() call never ran in that request; it’s now registered as a standalone function directly in the main plugin file, ahead of the class_exists(‘URE_Loader’) guard that was skipping it.
[4.66] 19.08.2026
- Update: Marked as compatible with WordPress 7.1
- Required PHP version increased up to 7.4
- Required WordPress version increased up to 4.6
- Update: Plugin loading code is enhanced.
- Update: Plugin does not use self-defined PHP global constants. Needed data moved inside classes.
- Update: URE_Admin_Notice class output was escaped with esc_attr(), wp_kses_post() functions.
- Security Fix: SQL queries in URE_Editor::direct_network_roles_update() and leave_roles_for_blog() are passed to $wpdb->prepare() with real %s placeholders.
- Security Fix: URE_Editor::get_caps_columns_quant() now requires a valid nonce before writing a display-preference transient from $_POST, closing a minor CSRF gap.
- Fix: URE_Protect_Admin used a bitwise « & » instead of a logical « && » when checking a capabilities array, which could throw a PHP 8 TypeError; fixed to use « && », and the related IN() SQL clause is now hardened with array_map(‘absint’, …).
- Update: nonce actions used on the Settings/Tools pages are now scoped per form (ure_settings_update, ure_addons_settings_update, ure_default_roles_update, ure_settings_ms_update, ure_settings_tools_exec) instead of one shared string.
- Update: additional output escaping was added across URE_View, URE_Role_View and URE_Role_Additional_Options (role/capability slugs, wp_json_encode() instead of json_encode(), esc_url() on form actions), plus a defense-in-depth capability check in URE_Role_Additional_Options::save().
- Update: rel= »noopener noreferrer » was added to external links opened with target= »_new ».
- Update: hardcoded text strings in the role editor toolbar are now translatable.
- Fix: URE_Assign_Role used the %i SQL placeholder, which needs WordPress 6.2+, below the plugin’s declared minimum; replaced with direct interpolation of internal table names.
- Fix: URE_Editor::reset_user_roles() had an unescaped wp_die() message; further output escaping (esc_url(), esc_html(), absint()) was added across URE_Base_Lib, URE_Editor, URE_User_Other_Roles and URE_User_View.
- Fix: several request-var/database-result comparisons that could be bypassed by PHP type juggling are now strict, including URE_Grant_Roles::is_try_remove_admin_from_himself()’s « can’t remove your own admin role » check.
- Fix: URE_Base_Lib::set() now correctly rejects unknown properties instead of silently creating them; URE_View declares its $advert property explicitly.
- Update: $_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’] is now validated and unslashed before sanitizing in URE_Lib::is_right_admin_path() and URE_User_Other_Roles::is_user_profile_extention_allowed().
- Update: posted role IDs are now sanitized (sanitize_key(), wp_unslash()) in URE_Editor, and its ‘object’/role-selection request parameters are constrained to known values.
- Update: URE_Base_Lib::get_blog_ids() now uses get_sites() instead of a raw database query.
- Update: URE_Capability::revoke_caps() now uses get_users() instead of a raw database query.
- Update: URE_Protect_Admin::has_administrator_role() now uses user_can() instead of a raw database query.
[4.65] 21.05.2026
- Update: Marked as compatible with WordPress 7.0
- Update: Pages markup are modified to correspond WordPress 7.0 CSS changes.
- Update: « defined(‘ABSPATH’) » guard was added to all PHP files to exclude PHP files direct execution.
- Update: sanitize_text_field(), sanitize_key(), sanitize_url() functions are used to secure user input before processing.
- Update: _nonce field checking was added before data update in addition to test made already on the higher level.
