Description
Members – Role Hierarchy is an add-on plugin for the Members plugin, which adds a hierarchical role system.
Hierarchical roles are important when you want to allow “lower” level users, such as Editors, to create, edit, promote, or delete users without giving them access to a higher role, such as Administrator.
For more info, visit the plugin home page.

FAQ

A hierarchical role system is one of the most-requested features that I’ve gotten over the years from Members’ users. Fortunately, an awesome client had me build this add-on and allowed me to release it back for free to the community.
- How do I use it?

Most things should be fairly straightforward if you’ve used Members, but I’ve included an in-depth guide in the plugin download. It’s a file called
