| Pros | Free customer groups, custom roles and wholesale pricing; Account approval emails for new B2B customers | Edit roles and capabilities with checkboxes; Create roles from scratch or copy an existing role; Assign several roles to one user, including multisite |
| Cons | Many advanced B2B features only come with the paid Pro add-on; Pro upsell screens appear in the admin | Admin menu and widget blocking are only in the paid Pro version; Changing roles wrongly can lock administrators out, so care is needed |
