If you have a WordPress website with multiple users and several User Roles defined, and you wish to prevent certain User Roles from accessing wp-admin, then this plugin is for you.

The plugin provides the following functionality:

• An options screen, that lets you:
  • Restrict Access to the WordPress Admin Screen (WP Admin) for one or more User Roles.
  • Choose how to handle the restriction for users with multiple roles
  • Define a login screen error message (if no custom redirect URL is set)
  • Set a custom redirect URL
