MainWP Team Control Extension

The MainWP Team Control extension is designed for agencies, freelancers, and site managers who need to delegate management tasks without compromising the security or integrity of their main dashboard. By allowing you to create restricted user accounts within your MainWP Dashboard, this extension empowers your team members to assist with site maintenance, updates, and monitoring while ensuring they only access the specific tools and sites you authorize, keeping your administrative control absolute.

Key Features

• Granular Role Management: Define exactly what your team members can see and do. You can create custom roles that restrict access to specific MainWP extensions, individual child sites, or sensitive dashboard settings.
• Site Access Restrictions: Limit a team member’s visibility to only specific client websites. This is essential for agencies that need to assign specific developers or support staff to particular projects without exposing your entire portfolio.
• Extension-Level Permissions: Control which MainWP extensions a user can interact with. Whether you want a team member to handle updates but not backups, or manage security scans without touching client billing, you have full control over their functional access.
• Dashboard Security: By limiting access, you reduce the risk of accidental configuration changes or unauthorized actions. Team Control acts as a layer of protection, ensuring that only authorized personnel can perform critical site operations.
• White-Label Friendly: Maintain a professional appearance by ensuring team members only see the tools necessary for their role, keeping the interface clean and focused on their specific tasks.
• Audit Logging: Keep track of actions performed by your team members within the MainWP Dashboard, providing transparency and accountability for all maintenance tasks performed on your managed sites.

Use Cases and Who It’s For

MainWP Team Control is the ideal solution for growing WordPress agencies and maintenance service providers. As your business scales, managing dozens or hundreds of sites alone becomes impossible. This extension is built for:

Agencies: If you have a team of developers or support staff, you need a way to distribute the workload. Team Control allows you to assign specific developers to specific client accounts, ensuring that your team stays focused on their tasks without having full administrative access to your entire infrastructure.

Freelancers: When you start outsourcing tasks to virtual assistants or junior developers, you need to protect your business assets. Team Control allows you to grant access to the specific sites or tools your contractors need to perform their jobs, without giving them the keys to your entire MainWP dashboard.

Multi-Site Managers: For those managing internal networks or large portfolios, this extension provides the necessary structure to delegate maintenance tasks safely. It ensures that even if you have multiple people managing your sites, the workflow remains organized and secure.

Setup and How It Works

Setting up Team Control is straightforward and integrates directly into your existing MainWP Dashboard workflow:

1. Install and Activate: Install the Team Control extension on your MainWP Dashboard site just like any other extension.
2. Create Team Members: Navigate to the Team Control settings within your MainWP Dashboard to create new user accounts for your team members.
3. Define Permissions: For each team member, select which child sites they are allowed to manage and which specific MainWP extensions they are permitted to access.
4. Save and Assign: Once the permissions are configured, your team members can log in to their own restricted views of the MainWP Dashboard. They will only see the sites and features you have explicitly authorized for them.
5. Monitor Activity: Use the built-in logging features to review the actions taken by your team members, ensuring that all maintenance work aligns with your agency’s standards and procedures.
