Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about JM Admin Role Lock | How you stop creating new administrator accounts

No. The role can only be kept by users who already have it. Deactivate the plugin before creating or promoting an Administrator, then activate it again so the file lists the new set of Administrators.

They keep the role. Their user profile still shows Administrator, so saving the profile does not demote them. You can change them to another role. They cannot be made an Administrator again after that.

Activation stores Subscriber instead. While the plugin is active, WordPress will not save Administrator as the default role.
