Role Editor - Add additional role ability

Hey @joy :waving_hand:,

I was wondering if the CM role editor currently supports the additional user roles.

I’m currently using the good old standard ‘User Role Editor’ plugin, and what it does is add an additional user role field in the user edit screen, so I can assign multiple roles.

When I disable the plugin and replace with CM role editor, the roles previously assigned to users stay in place, but there’s no way to add an additional role from the user screen.

Is there any chance you could make this happen? This would just help me remove yet ‘another’ plugin replaced with CM feature.

Many thanks.

Hi @yanno
Thanks for sharing this feature improvement.

We have addressed this in a previous release, please check v2.2.0 Changelog and update Classic Monks to the latest version.

Many thanks @joy , really appreciate that.

If you ever come back to the role feature, it would also be super helpful if you could ‘Duplicate’ an existing role with all its capabilities, just with a new name.
(Just like it is in the User Role Editor, Manager, can’t remember the name, already removed that plugin :grin: )

I was setting up a new role yesterday, but had to manually go through the capabilities of the old role and replicate them in the new role. Not a biggy, but it took a bit of time.

On it @yanno
You will find it in the next release!
