Directory WordPress Plugin provides flexible user role management. You can define what each user role is allowed to do, including submitting listings, editing them, and viewing dashboard data.
Step 1: Configure User Roles
Go to Users > Roles (you can use a plugin like User Role Editor if not available).
Set the permissions for each role, such as:
Administrator β Full control over listings, settings, and user accounts.
Editor/Contributor β Can submit, edit, and delete their own listings.
Subscriber β Can only view the directory (no submission or editing privileges).
Step 2: Customize Permissions for Frontend Submission
Go to Directory > Settings > User
Configure what each user role can do:
Can Submit Listings β Enable for roles like Contributor and Editor.
Can Edit Listings β Allow users to edit their own listings.
Can Delete Listings β Grant permission to delete listings.
Save changes to apply these settings.
π‘ Tip: Customize user permissions based on the directory type (e.g., business, medical, real estate) to limit what users can access or modify.
