User Role Editor
Description
User Role Editor WordPress plugin allows you to change user roles and capabilities easily. Just turn on check boxes of capabilities you wish to add to the selected role and click the 'Update' button to save your changes. That's done.
Add new roles and customize their capabilities according to your needs, either from scratch or as a copy of other existing roles. Unnecessary self-made roles can be deleted if there are no users assigned to such roles. The role assigned to every newly created user by default may also be changed.
Capabilities could be assigned on a per-user basis, and multiple roles could be assigned to a user simultaneously. You can add new capabilities and remove unnecessary ones that may have been left from uninstalled plugins. Multi-site support is provided.
