FREE WORDPRESS PLUGIN A WordPress admin workspace plugin for roles and users
Create focused administration experiences inside native WordPress. Combine role and capability settings, dashboard blocks, quick actions, menu organization, a validated start page, and role or user assignments in one reusable workspace.
DevAgent Admin Workspace changes how authorized users navigate wp-admin without treating menu visibility as a security layer. WordPress capabilities and destination-plugin checks remain the source of access control.

Free WordPress plugin
Install and update DevAgent Admin Workspace through WordPress.org.
Native WordPress admin
Work inside wp-admin without replacing it with a separate hosted dashboard.
Role and user assignments
Share one published workspace across roles or apply an individual user exception when needed.
Local data, no telemetry
The plugin stores its configuration locally and does not require an external account or remote service.
Bring roles, dashboards, menus, and assignments into one workspace
Many WordPress administration tools address one layer at a time. DevAgent Admin Workspace connects the operational settings that need to work together, while keeping presentation and authorization separate.
Role and capability configuration
Create or duplicate WordPress roles and configure capabilities through guided questions or an advanced technical view.
Dashboard blocks and quick actions
Build a practical starting screen with configurable blocks, clear instructions, and shortcuts that respect the assigned role’s capabilities.
Menu organization and verification
Rename, hide, reorder, group, and review native administration menu items. Compare the intended workspace menu with the items that were actually rendered for an assigned role.
Assignments, preview, and recovery
Assign a published workspace to one or several roles, add individual exceptions, preview the result, and restore the previous valid configuration when needed.
Build and apply a workspace in three stages
Prepare a role
Use an existing non-administrator role or create a new role, then review the capabilities it needs for its real tasks.
Build and publish the workspace
Choose the dashboard blocks, quick actions, start page, menu structure, labels, and instructions that the assigned users should receive.
Assign and verify the result
Apply the workspace to a role or user, sign in with a test account, and review the browser-rendered menu before deploying the configuration to production users.
Menu visibility does not grant or remove access. Test the final result with a non-administrator account.

Common questions about DevAgent Admin Workspace
Is DevAgent Admin Workspace free?
Yes. It is distributed as a free, open-source plugin through WordPress.org.
Does hiding a menu item remove the user’s permission?
No. Menu visibility changes presentation only. WordPress roles, capabilities, and the destination plugin determine whether the user can access or modify data.
Can a workspace grant access to a plugin screen?
No. A workspace can organize an available menu item, but it cannot bypass the capability checks implemented by WordPress or another plugin.
Can administrators receive a workspace?
No. Users with the manage_options capability are excluded from workspace application in the current version. Administrators can use the protected preview tools instead.
Does the plugin use telemetry or external services?
No. The plugin stores its configuration locally and does not require an external account, remote API, CDN, or license check.
