Role Manager

Product: WPMazic SEO Pro

The Role Manager module in WPMazic SEO is the role-based access control system for managing SEO workspace permissions. It allows you to define who can access and modify different SEO features, ensuring safe collaboration in multi-user environments.

What it is

Role Manager is a permission control layer that lets you assign access rights to different WordPress user roles. It ensures that only authorized users can edit critical SEO settings while others can safely work on limited areas.

What it is used for

  • Control access to SEO modules and features
  • Allow safe editing for content teams
  • Restrict sensitive settings from unauthorized users
  • Prevent accidental changes to global SEO configurations
  • Manage permissions in multi-user or agency environments

Key Features

  • Role-Based Permissions: Assign access based on WordPress roles (Admin, Editor, Author, etc.)
  • Module-Level Control: Enable or disable access to specific SEO modules
  • Granular Permissions: Control editing rights for titles, schema, redirects, and more
  • Safe Mode Access: Allow limited access for non-technical users
  • Custom Role Support: Works with custom roles created by plugins

How to use

  1. Go to WPMazic SEO → Role Manager
  2. Select a user role (e.g., Editor, Author)
  3. Choose which SEO modules or features they can access
  4. Enable or disable specific permissions
  5. Save the settings

Understanding permissions

Full Access

Grants complete control over all SEO settings and modules. Typically assigned to administrators.

Limited Access

Allows users to edit only specific SEO fields such as titles and meta descriptions without accessing advanced settings.

Restricted Access

Prevents users from accessing SEO features entirely or limits them to view-only mode.

Module-Level Access

Control which modules (e.g., Schema Builder, Redirects, Analytics) are visible and usable for each role.

Best Practices

  • Limit access to critical settings to administrators only
  • Allow content teams to edit titles and descriptions only
  • Restrict advanced modules like redirects and tools
  • Review permissions regularly as team roles change
  • Use safe access levels to avoid accidental errors

Troubleshooting

User cannot access SEO features

  • Check assigned role permissions
  • Ensure the module is enabled for that role

User has too much access

  • Review role settings and disable unnecessary permissions
  • Assign a more restricted role if needed

Changes not applying
