Beschreibung

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.

FAQ

Who can edit users roles?: Anyone with the promote_users capability. By default, that means only administrators and network administrators on multi-site.
Can you edit your own roles?: If you’re a network administrator on a multi-site setup, yes, you can edit your roles in sites of that network. Otherwise, no. This is how WordPress works normally too.
I’m on the user edit screen – where’s the checklist of roles?: It’s underneath the default profile stuff, under the heading „Permissions“. If you still can’t find it, you might be on your own profile page, or you might not have the promote_users capability.
Can you remove all roles from a user?: Sure. The user will still be able to log in and out, but won’t be able to access any admin screens or see private pages. However, the user will still be able to see the WP Toolbar by default, which displays links to the Dashboard and Profile screens, so clicking on those will result in seeing a permission error.

Elegant and simple .. a great plugin

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.

Great plugin. Used on multiple sites now and it works perfectly every time

Installed this on my 4.9.5 site and performance was severely degraded. This was the first thing I disabled in order to troubleshoot and it was like night and day. Recommend finding an alternate solution unless this issue is addressed.

Browsed through the source code too. Everything looks good code-wise as well.

In my opinion, it's a major oversight for WP to not provide this interface by default. What a ridiculous limitation to have only one role per user. As you say, the underlying feature exists, but WP does not make it accessible. This plug-in does a great job of fixing that oversight. Thanks.
