user role

User Role matters only if the evidence supports a paid workflow around keeping user access, permissions, and protected content correct, not a list of isolated fixes. The current commercial thesis is: Access mistakes expose private content, block paying users, and create support-heavy account problems. The entry wedge is to audit roles, permissions, protected pages, and login handoffs before access issues reach customers.

Opportunity Summary

Full report

Build an access control and account operations plugin for membership site owners, agencies, and operations teams: Access mistakes expose private content, block paying users, and create support-heavy account problems. The first wedge is to audit roles, permissions, protected pages, and login handoffs before access issues reach customers.

The unmet need is not the individual complaint. It is the recurring business workflow: Access mistakes expose private content, block paying users, and create support-heavy account problems. Current stage: commercial plugin opportunity.
