| Pros | Create, edit and duplicate roles with fine capability control; Hide editor, admin menu and toolbar features per role; Automatic backups of role changes with WP-CLI restore | Sanitises SVG uploads before they are stored; Shows SVG previews in the media library; Choose which user roles can upload SVG files |
| Cons | Pro edition adds further controls not covered here; Many settings screens; a learning curve for large role sets | SVG optimiser is off by default and needs a code filter; Settings are limited to the upload role choice; Sanitising rules decide what markup survives, so check designs after upload |
