The Members plugin stores role definitions in wp_options and assigns them to users through wp_usermeta. The default WordPress and Members admin presents the role list and the user list on separate screens, which makes the most important security question on any multi-author site ("who can edit this content type?") slow to answer. SleekView joins both stores and surfaces users with their roles, custom capabilities, and last-login activity in one grid tuned to the access-audit workflow.

The grid handles capability-level filtering. Filter by capability equals manage_options to find every user who can install plugins, which is the single highest-stakes capability on a WordPress install. Filter by capability equals edit_others_posts to find every user who can publish under another author's name. Sort by last login to spot dormant accounts that still hold sensitive caps (a common audit finding). Inline role changes route through the Members API so capability assignments stay consistent and any role-change hooks fire normally.

Custom roles defined in Members appear in the role column and filter, which matters for sites that build out custom roles like Reviewer, Translator, or Contributor-Plus. Multi-role users appear once with all their roles listed and individually filterable. Saved views become quarterly access-review habits: Users with manage_options, Dormant accounts with edit caps, Custom-role assignments, and Recent role changes. Export the filtered audit to CSV for compliance documentation, and keep the security workflow inside WordPress where the source data lives.

Privilege creep is the silent failure mode of every WordPress site. A contributor needs to edit one specific page, so an admin gives them the Editor role; six months later, the contributor has long since moved on, but the account still holds Editor caps and has not logged in in 90 days. Multiply by 50 users over five years and the site has accumulated dozens of dormant accounts holding caps that exceed any current need.

The Members plugin makes capability assignment flexible, but the default admin does not provide a fast way to ask "who currently holds this specific capability?" or "which accounts have not logged in but still hold edit access?" SleekView turns those questions into one-click filters. Quarterly access reviews become a habit instead of a project, dormant accounts get demoted before they become a security incident, and the compliance documentation that satisfies SOC 2 or ISO 27001 questionnaires is one CSV export away. The plugin keeps doing access control; the audit surface lives where it belongs.
