Provides: description
2 of 5 measures had too little evidence to score. They are left out of the total rather than counted as zero — otherwise a plugin would be marked down for being small rather than for being poorly kept.Measured 2026-08-02 from the WordPress.org plugin registry.
Ratings

No one has rated this plugin on WordPress.org yet. That is a statement about the ratings page, not about the plugin — plenty of well-kept plugins never collect them.

Limited Admin Role adds a custom WordPress role called Admin Panel Manager that gives a user broad content and product management access — but blocks access to WooCommerce Orders, Customers, Users, and sensitive reports.

Key Features:

  • 🔐 Granular capability grid — enable or disable every WordPress & WooCommerce capability from the settings UI, organized into 15 categories
  • 🚫 Block WooCommerce Orders, Customers, Analytics, and WordPress Users (menu + URL + REST API)
  • 🧩 Plugin Access Deny — per-plugin admin page blocking via a dedicated submenu
  • 🔑 Plugins view-only — can see installed plugins list but cannot install/activate/deactivate/update/delete
  • 🕐 Configurable session timeout (default 12 hours) — forces logout regardless of “Remember Me”
  • ✅ Compatible with Rank Math, Yoast SEO, WooCommerce HPOS, and Cloudflare

Capability Categories:

  • Core Access, Posts, Pages, Media, Appearance & Themes
  • Plugins, Users, WordPress Updates
  • WooCommerce Products, Orders, Coupons, Reports & Analytics, Settings, Customers
  • Comments

How do I assign the role to a user?

Go to Users → Add New and set the Role dropdown to Admin Panel Manager. Or edit an existing user and change their role.

Can I change which capabilities are granted?

Yes. Go to Limited Admin Role → Settings → Capabilities tab. Every capability is listed with a checkbox — check to grant, uncheck to deny. Changes apply immediately on save.

How does the session timeout work?

On login, the plugin records a timestamp. On every admin page load, it checks if the elapsed time exceeds the configured limit (default: 12 hours). If so, the session is destroyed and the user is redirected to the login page with a “Session expired” message. The auth cookie is also clamped so “Remember Me” cannot extend beyond the limit.

Can the user install or activate plugins?

No. Plugin installation, activation, deactivation, update, and deletion are always blocked. The user can view the installed plugins list (read-only). You can toggle even view access from the Capabilities tab (activate_plugins cap).

How does Plugin Access Deny work?

Go to Limited Admin Role → Plugin Access Deny. Every active plugin and its detected admin pages are listed. Check any pages to block them for the Admin Panel Manager role.

Is it compatible with WooCommerce HPOS?

Yes. Both the legacy post_type=shop_order URL and the new HPOS page=wc-orders URL are blocked.

Does it work with Rank Math and Yoast SEO?

Yes. Both plugins show their meta boxes to any user with edit_posts capability, which this role has by default.
