## Descriere

Qaiyo Access Manager extends WordPress’s built-in permission system. Out of the 
box, WordPress only lets you assign broad roles (editor, author, contributor…). 
This plugin lets administrators set **fine-grained access rules for individual plugins,
custom post types and taxonomies**, at both the role level and the individual user
level — without writing code or touching `functions.php`.

Hide WooCommerce from editors, give a single freelancer access to one custom post
type, keep authors away from your category structure, stop contributors from seeing
a page builder, redirect each role to its own landing page after login, or protect
a block of content on the front end with a shortcode. Administrators always keep
full access and can never be locked out.

**Plugin & content access**

 * **Plugin-level access control** — Decide which roles can see and manage each 
   installed plugin. The plugin is hidden from the Plugins screen, its action links
   are removed, and its admin menu pages are removed and blocked (including direct-
   URL access) for restricted roles. This governs visibility and admin access; it
   is not a substitute for a plugin’s own internal capability checks.
 * **Custom post type access control** — Restrict any custom post type (WooCommerce
   Products, ACF field groups, portfolios, events…) per role, across the admin menu,
   list/edit queries, single front-end views (with a configurable redirect) and 
   the core REST API. Content types registered with their own capabilities are also
   enforced at the capability level, so guests and unauthorised roles are blocked,
   not just hidden.
 * **Taxonomy access control** — Decide which roles or users may manage each taxonomy(
   categories, tags, product categories, custom taxonomies): its admin screens, 
   and creating, editing, deleting and assigning its terms. Restricted users lose
   the taxonomy’s menu item, its screens (including direct URLs), its panel in the
   block and classic editors and in Quick Edit, and write access through the REST
   API and admin-ajax. Shared WordPress capabilities such as `manage_categories`
   and `edit_posts` are never changed, so other taxonomies and post editing keep
   working. Front-end term archives are not affected.
 * **Allow / Deny mode per rule** — Each rule can either allow only the checked 
   roles, or deny the checked roles and leave everyone else untouched — whichever
   needs fewer clicks.
 * **User-level overrides** — Allow or deny a specific user regardless of their 
   role. User rules always win over role rules.
 * **Access Matrix** — A bird’s-eye grid of every plugin, post type and taxonomy
   against every role, so you can audit your whole site at a glance.
 * **Native capability hints** — Next to each plugin and post type, see which roles
   already hold the relevant WordPress capabilities, so your rules and core roles
   never silently conflict.

**Roles, login & front end**

 * **Login redirect by role** — Send each role to its own URL right after login.
 * **Restricted content redirect** — Choose where logged-in users land when they
   open a single item of a content type they cannot access (home, 404, login or 
   a custom URL).
 * **Frontend protection shortcode** — `[qaiyo_protect role="editor" deny="subscriber"
   logged_in="yes" cap="edit_posts"]…[/qaiyo_protect]` shows or hides content by
   role, login state or capability, with an optional replacement message.
 * **Customizable restricted notice** — Pick the style (info / warning / error /
   none) and text shown to restricted users, with `{user_name}`, `{site_name}` and`{
   admin_email}` placeholders.

**Admin experience**

 * **Capabilities inspector** — A read-only, searchable capability × role matrix
   that flags core vs plugin capabilities. It never changes your roles — it just
   shows you what they already hold.
 * **Dashboard summary widget** — A WordPress Dashboard widget showing how many 
   plugins and post types are restricted and how many user-level overrides are active,
   for an at-a-glance health check.
 * **Hide the admin bar** — Remove the frontend toolbar for selected roles.
 * **Hide individual admin bar items** — Strip specific nodes from the top toolbar
   per role.
 * **Hide dashboard widgets** — Remove dashboard widgets per role.
 * **Update permissions** — Let non-admin roles update plugins and/or themes without
   granting full administrator access (applied at runtime, fully reversible).
 * **JSON import / export** — Back up every rule to a JSON file, or migrate your
   whole configuration to another site.
 * **Explore Qaiyo plugins** — An in-admin overview of the Qaiyo plugin family, 
   with a notice on your Qaiyo screens when a newer version of an installed Qaiyo
   plugin is available.

**Built for the real world**

 * **Administrators are protected** — Anyone with `manage_options` always has full
   access and cannot be restricted.
 * **AJAX save** — Rules are saved without a page reload.
 * **Translation ready** — Ships with 11 languages: English, Hungarian, German, 
   French, Spanish, Japanese, Portuguese, Italian, Russian, Turkish and Polish.
 * **Translation-plugin compatible** — Plays nicely with WPML, Polylang and TranslatePress;
   internal translation post types are excluded automatically.
 * **WordPress standards** — Nonce verification, capability checks, sanitized input
   and escaped output throughout.

**Looking for more?** Qaiyo Access Manager Pro adds an editable click-to-toggle 
matrix, rule presets, user groups, bulk actions, temporary (time-limited) access,
an activity log, admin page hiding, meta box control, email notifications and per-
term access: restrict individual categories or tags by role or user, with child-
term inheritance.

## Instalare

 1. Upload the `qaiyo-access-manager` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install 
    it from the Plugins  Add New screen.
 2. Activate the plugin from the WordPress admin Plugins page.
 3. Open **Access Manager** in the admin sidebar.
 4. Use the Plugins, Post Types and Taxonomies tabs to set role and user-level rules,
    and the Settings tab for login redirects, the restricted notice and admin-bar options.

## Întrebări frecvente

### What happens if no roles are assigned to a plugin or CPT?

It stays accessible to everyone. Rules are opt-in: an item is only restricted once
you add a rule for it.

### Can administrators be restricted?

No. Anyone with the `manage_options` capability always keeps full access, by design,
so you can never lock yourself out.

### How does the user-level override work?

User rules take priority over role rules. A denied user cannot access the item even
if their role is allowed, and an allowed user can access it even if their role is
not.

### What is the difference between Allow and Deny mode?

Allow mode means only the checked roles get access. Deny mode means the checked 
roles lose access and everyone else keeps it. Pick whichever is fewer clicks for
your situation.

### How do I protect content on the front end?

Use the shortcode, for example: `[qaiyo_protect role="editor,shop_manager"]Visible
only to these roles.[/qaiyo_protect]`. Combine the attributes `role` (allow list),`
deny` (deny list), `logged_in` (yes/no), `cap` (a capability) and `message` (text
shown instead when the content is hidden).

### Does the Capabilities tab change my roles?

No. It is a read-only inspector. Editing capabilities is intentionally out of scope
so WordPress’s core role system stays untouched.

### Will restricting a custom post type also block it on the front end and in the REST API?

Yes. CPT rules are enforced across the admin menu, list and edit queries, single
front-end views (with a configurable redirect), and the core (`/wp/v2/`) REST API—
and guests are blocked too, not just logged-in users. For content types registered
with their own capabilities (most plugin CPTs, e.g. WooCommerce Products), the rules
are additionally enforced at the WordPress capability level, which also covers custom
REST controllers. Content types that share the generic post/page capabilities are
enforced through the menu, query, front-end and core REST layers rather than at 
the capability level, to avoid affecting unrelated content.

### What does a taxonomy rule restrict?

Everything a user needs to manage that taxonomy in the dashboard: its menu item 
and screens (also via direct URL), creating, editing and deleting terms, and assigning
terms to posts in the block editor, the classic editor and Quick Edit. Writes through
the core REST API and admin-ajax are blocked too. Reading terms and front-end archives
stay public. Shared capabilities like `manage_categories` are deliberately left 
untouched, so restricting categories never breaks tags or post editing. To hide 
or lock a single category or tag instead of a whole taxonomy, see Qaiyo Access Manager
Pro.

### Does plugin-level access fully disable a plugin for a role?

It removes the plugin from the Plugins screen and removes and blocks its admin menu
pages (including direct-URL access) for the restricted roles, which stops normal
use through the dashboard. It does not rewrite that plugin’s own internal capabilities
or its private AJAX/REST endpoints. For a hard capability boundary around a specific
plugin feature, combine plugin-level rules with the plugin’s own role settings or
a capability manager.

### Is it compatible with WPML, Polylang and TranslatePress?

Yes. The plugin excludes the internal post types used by translation plugins and
does not interfere with language-based content filtering.

### What happens when the plugin is uninstalled?

By default your rules are preserved so they return if you reinstall. You can opt
in (Settings  Tools) to delete all rules and settings on uninstall instead.

## Istoric modificări

#### 1.3.3

 * Hardening: a redirect target you configure (login redirect, restricted-content
   URL) now works even when it points to another site, without opening the plugin
   up as a general redirector — only the host you configured is allowed through.
 * Hardening: per-user rules are normalised on save and on import (0 and negative
   IDs dropped, duplicates removed, a user listed as both allowed and denied is 
   kept in the allow list only), so a hand-edited or imported file cannot leave 
   junk in the rules.
 * Quality: added a PHPUnit 9 + Brain Monkey unit test suite (84 tests) covering
   the access decision chain, every sanitizer, taxonomy and post type enforcement,
   the shortcode and each AJAX endpoint’s permission gate. Tests are developer-only
   and are not part of the plugin package.
 * Verified: PHPStan level 5, PHP 7.4+ compatibility and the escaping sniff are 
   clean, and Plugin Check reports no errors on the released package.

#### 1.3.2

 * Fixed: on multisite, uninstall only cleaned up the site the plugin was deleted
   from. Every site in the network is now cleaned up.
 * Fixed: the cached „More plugins from Qaiyo” plugin list was left behind in the
   database after uninstall.
 * Code quality: hooks moved out of the constructor into an explicit register() 
   method, so the plugin class can be instantiated without side effects.
 * Code quality: return types added to 100+ functions (hook callback parameters 
   are deliberately left untyped so a third-party value can never turn into a fatal
   error), redundant class_exists() guards on the plugin’s own code removed, and
   unused CSS deleted.
 * Verified: PHPStan level 5 and PHP 7.4+ compatibility clean, Plugin Check reports
   no errors.

#### 1.3.1

 * New: Taxonomies tab. Allow or deny each taxonomy (categories, tags, product categories,
   custom taxonomies) per role, with per-user overrides, in the same Allow/Deny 
   model as plugins and post types.
 * New: restricted users lose the taxonomy’s admin menu item and screens (also via
   direct URL), its editor panel (block and classic) and Quick Edit column, and 
   cannot create, edit, delete or assign its terms through the dashboard, the REST
   API or admin-ajax. Enforcement uses per-term meta capabilities and taxonomy-specific
   capabilities only; shared capabilities such as manage_categories and edit_posts
   are never changed.
 * New: the Access Matrix shows taxonomy rules in a read-only table; JSON export/
   import includes taxonomy rules (older export files still import).
 * New: developer filter qaiyo_access_manager_group_access_taxonomy and action qaiyo_access_manager_before_taxonomy_list.
 * WordPress.org compliance: the bundled „More plugins” and brand-menu drop-ins 
   now use plugin-specific class names and style handles (no shared Qaiyo_ class,
   no class_exists guard), and the footer link is escaped with wp_kses.
 * i18n: all new strings translated in the 11 bundled languages.

#### 1.3.0

 * Compatibility: verified against WordPress 7.1. Checked the areas 7.1 changes —
   the persistent editor toolbar (admin-bar rules), jQuery UI 1.14.2 and the updated
   editor components. No code changes were required.

#### 1.2.0

 * Accessibility: added programmatic labels (aria-label / fieldset+legend / header
   scope) to the login-redirect inputs, admin-bar and dashboard matrices, capabilities
   search and update-permission groups.
 * i18n: added an explicit translation loader so the bundled languages load reliably
   across environments; the new interface strings are translated in all 11 languages.
 * Code quality: moved every remaining inline style into the enqueued admin stylesheet;
   verified clean with PHPStan (level 5) and PHP 7.4+ compatibility.
 * Compatibility: normalized the license header to „GPLv2 or later” and replaced
   a hardcoded example URL with a site-derived one.

#### 1.1.0

 * UX: friendly personalized greeting at the top of the Access Manager screen (uses
   the current user’s first name, falling back to their display name).
 * Security: custom post type rules now also block logged-out visitors. Previously
   guests were treated as allowed, so allow-list rules did not protect single front-
   end views or the REST API against them.
 * Security: plugin-level rules now remove and block (including direct-URL access)
   a restricted plugin’s own admin menu pages — not just hide it from the Plugins
   screen. Single-file plugins are covered too.
 * Hardening: CPT capability enforcement now applies only to content types with 
   their own custom capabilities, and resolves the real post type from the target
   object — preventing over- or under-blocking of content types that share the core
   post/page capabilities.
 * Correctness: JSON payloads (rule save, import, options) are now decoded before
   sanitization instead of after, so multi-line and special characters are preserved.
 * UX: added a clear security warning to the plugin/theme update-permissions setting.
 * Performance: cached admin-menu ownership resolution and bulk-loaded override 
   users to avoid per-row queries.
 * Docs: corrected developer-hook names (qaiyo_access_manager_* prefix) and clarified
   the scope of plugin- and CPT-level access.

#### 1.0.0

 * Initial release.
 * Plugin-level access control per role.
 * Custom post type access control per role (wp-admin, front end and REST API).
 * Allow / Deny mode for every rule.
 * User-level overrides (allow/deny per user), taking priority over role rules.
 * Access Matrix overview of every plugin and post type against every role.
 * Read-only Capabilities inspector (core vs plugin capabilities flagged).
 * Native capability hints shown next to each plugin and post type.
 * Dashboard summary widget (restricted plugins / post types / active user overrides).
 * `[qaiyo_protect]` frontend content protection shortcode (role / deny / logged_in/
   cap / message).
 * Login redirect by role.
 * Restricted content frontend redirect (home / 404 / login / custom URL).
 * Customizable restricted-access notice (style + text with placeholders).
 * Hide the frontend admin bar, individual admin bar items and dashboard widgets
   per role.
 * Plugin / theme update permissions for non-admin roles (runtime, reversible).
 * JSON import / export of all rules.
 * „Explore Qaiyo plugins” overview with update notices for installed Qaiyo plugins.
 * 11 bundled languages: English, Hungarian, German, French, Spanish, Japanese, 
   Portuguese, Italian, Russian, Turkish, Polish.
 * Compatible with WPML, Polylang and TranslatePress.
