TN User Management

TN User Management is a WordPress plugin for simplifying admin access across a site or multisite network.

The plugin standardises user management around a clean model: users log in with their email address, roles are normalised, and admin visibility is controlled through permission sets. Instead of trying to build a full capability management system, it focuses on what most website teams actually need: a clearer, safer WordPress admin experience.

Core features include email-as-username, one-time migration of existing usernames to email addresses, baseline role repair, multisite user governance, and a permission set interface for controlling which admin areas a user can see. Permission sets can include native WordPress menus, post types, tools, settings, and third-party plugin menus.

The important design choice is that this is UX management, not true capability management.

That matters because most websites do not need deep, granular capability engineering. They need trusted users to have enough access to do their work, without being overwhelmed by every menu, setting, plugin screen, or admin option. TN User Management gives capable users a cleaner admin interface while avoiding the complexity and risk of inventing a heavy permission architecture.

For most content, campaign, fundraising, and operational websites, that is the right level of control. It reduces confusion, keeps admin simple, and gives site owners a practical way to govern access without over-engineering WordPress.
