TL;DR

AI summary of the plugin's readme

This plugin is for WordPress site owners, agencies, developers, and security professionals who need to manage access controls across roles, users, content, and APIs. It addresses broken access controls and excessive privileges by letting administrators configure granular, policy-based permissions instead of relying only on external threat defenses.
