ROLE LIST INTERFACE
Search, filter, and audit roles from a living sidebar.
The split-panel view keeps the entire role catalogue within reach. Search roles or slugs in real time, view user counts, and see active state indicators before touching capabilities.
- Case-insensitive search debounces input and updates the count as you type.
- Active role badges mirror the detail panel, so teams always see who they are editing.
- Hover and focus states follow accessibility guidelines with ARIA labels and keyboard navigation.
Real-time role inventory
Sidebar search covers names and slugs, while result counts refresh after every change.
Guided creation modal
Enforce naming, slug formatting, and uniqueness before new roles ever touch your database.
CREATE ROLES
Launch new roles with validation baked in.
Trigger the modal from any view, auto-generate slugs from names, and watch errors surface before submission. Duplicate slugs, unsupported characters, or over-length strings never leave the UI.
Auto slugging
Lowercase conversion, whitespace trimming, and hyphen cleanup, all editable before save.
Restriction aware
Blocks protected roles, highlights user counts, and guides teams through safe deletions.
CAPABILITY MANAGEMENT
Master 116 capabilities with visual guardrails.
Collapsible categories, sticky progress summaries, and instant search ensure every checkbox is deliberate. Select all, deselect all, or hand-pick permissions with confidence.
Precision search
Filter capability names in-line while keeping categories intact. Matching rows remain highlighted so you never lose context.
Adaptive layout
Drawer navigation on mobile, dual-column grids on desktop, and touch-friendly controls for every viewport.
Change tracking
Sticky footers show selection counts, percentages, and unsaved indicators the moment anything changes.
Capability categories snapshot
Select All / Deselect All controls, badges for “All selected”, and progress bars keep role design intentional.
DEFENCE-IN-DEPTH
Security guardrails at every layer.
The Role Editor mirrors WordPress security best practices: every endpoint checks manage_options, nonces are required, and default roles refuse deletion. Validation runs on names, slugs, and capability arrays before they ever hit the REST API.
Access control
Page-level capability checks hide the entire experience from non-admins and prevent script execution.
Safe deletions
Protected roles, user-count checks, and irreversible warnings ensure no team member removes access accidentally.
Security checklist
Follow the built-in workflow to keep production sites healthy.
- Validate role names (1-100 chars) and sanitize input with WordPress helpers.
- Require nonces on every request and lock traffic to authorized administrators.
- Block deletions when users remain assigned and offer reassignment guidance.
- Log confirmations for risky operations like editing Administrator capabilities.
Give every team the access they need—nothing more.
uiXpress Role Editor blends design clarity with airtight safety so you can launch new workflows, audit existing roles, and sleep knowing safeguards are on duty.
