Membership Manager Role

Get help managing your membership site without compromising 100% of your site’s security with the Membership Manager Role Add On.

This Add On allows the designated user permission to manage membership settings and your membership database, while restricting full administrative access to your WordPress site.

How it Works

Members with the “Membership Manager” role get access to specific capabilities in your membership sites so they can do things like:

• Manage your Paid Memberships Pro plugin settings: Managers can change level settings, edit email templates, create user fields, and more.
• View and manage members: Managers can browse and search the members list, as well as view a single member and make changes to their memberships.
• Manage orders and view reports: Managers can search orders, process refunds, and synchronize subscription payments with the gateway.

In addition to these permissions, this Add On also supports many of our other Add Ons that add custom capabilities, such as the Approval Process for Membership or Mobile Reports Dashboard App.

Settings

This is a drop-in Add On. After you install and activate the plugin, the Membership Manager role will be added to your site. Here’s how to give a new or existing user permission to manage membership settings:

1. Navigate to Users and locate the user to edit.
2. In the User Edit screen, change the Role field to Membership Manager.
3. Save changes.

That’s it. The user now has the Membership Manager role and will be able to manage your memberships area and settings, but nothing else in the WordPress site.

Customizing the Membership Manager Role

The role created by this Add On is kept in sync with every capability a person will need in order to access your PMPro site’s memberships admin. This means that if the core PMPro plugin or another Add On adds new capabilities in a future update, your Membership Managers will be granted that permission right away, too.

We do not recommend that you edit the Membership Manager role’s capabilities. Instead, please follow the steps in this guide to duplicate and customize the Membership Manager role using the User Role Editor plugin.
