Install Justin Tadlock’s Members Plugin. It has per-configured roles that allow in-depth control over users. If the standard roles don’t allow the amount of access control you want, you can create a custom role and assign your specific access level.
On your dashboard, check Settings -> General -> Standard role for new users

For example: wp role reset author contributor editor subscriber There is also an –all flag, which you can use like this: wp … Read more
Filter ‘login_redirect’. Sample code, not tested: add_filter( ‘wp_login’, ‘wpse_78150_login_redirect’ ); function wpse_78150_login_redirect( $url ) { # uncomment the next line for debugging # var_dump( wp_get_current_user() ); exit; if ( ! current_user_can( ‘custom_role’ ) ) return $url; return admin_url(); }
