Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about RoleGuard — Temporary Role Manager

The user is automatically reverted to the exact role they held before the temporary assignment. RoleGuard stores the original role in user meta and restores it when the expiration time passes.
Every hour via WordPress built-in WP-Cron. As a safety net, RoleGuard also checks whenever any admin visits an admin page — but only if the cron hasn't run in the last 2 hours. This dual approach ensures roles never stay active past their expiration.
Yes. Visit the user's Edit Profile page and enter a new expiration date in the "Extend Until" field. The expiration is updated immediately without disrupting the user's current access.
Yes, two ways: (1) Check the "Revoke temporary role now" box on the user's profile, or (2) Select multiple users in the Users list and use the "Revoke Temporary Role" bulk action.
The cron schedule is cleared on deactivation, but user meta is preserved. If you reactivate later, existing temporary roles will resume normal expiration checks. Users who should have expired during the inactive period will be reverted on the next check.
10 active temporary role assignments at a time. This covers the vast majority of small-to-medium sites. If you need more, RoleGuard Pro removes this limit entirely.
No. RoleGuard enforces a strict role hierarchy. A user can only assign temporary roles that are lower than their own role level. Only users with the WordPress promote_users capability can assign temporary roles at all.
Yes. RoleGuard reads all registered WordPress roles and displays them in the role assignment dropdown. Custom roles created by other plugins (like Members or User Role Editor) are fully supported.
The free version works on individual sites within a Multisite network. Network-wide role management is planned for a future Pro release.
Yes. All strings use the roleguard text domain and are properly wrapped with WordPress i18n functions. Translation-ready out of the box.
