How Restricting User Ability Works? #
Every restriction can be done by multiple parameters.
The first and required step is to chose the role you want the restriction to apply. After that you can select one of the parameters or all of them. Available parameters are:
-
- Based on profile completes – If user profile is not complete or is bellow selected value, the feature we are restricting will not be available for all users in selected role.
- Based on avatar – If user don’t have their own avatar image, the feature we are restricting will not be available for all users in selected role.
- Based on cover – If user don’t have their own cover image, the feature we are restricting will not be available for all users in selected role.
Note: Features of the User limits can be expanded with additional plugins to allow restricting user abilities to create or manage events, and jobs ( WP Event Manager Integration, WP Job Manager Integration
