SleekView Kanban for Members
The Members plugin restricts content by role and stores that restriction as postmeta on every protected post. SleekView Kanban reads those posts, groups them by the role allowed to read them, and lets an editor drag a card to change the access role from one screen.

Read Members-restricted content as a board, not a list
The Members plugin, by MemberPress, manages roles and capabilities and adds per-post content restriction through a metabox on the post edit screen. The restriction is stored as postmeta with the key _members_access_role, holding one or more role slugs that are allowed to read the post. Public posts have no meta, restricted posts carry a value such as subscriber, contributor, premium_member, or editor.
SleekView reads the standard wp_posts table joined to the _members_access_role postmeta and treats the access role as the natural column to group by. Public, Subscribers only, Members only, and Editors only appear as their own columns with their actual counts. Post title and type ride on the card front, with author and last modified date on a second line so an editor reads the access map of the site without opening individual posts.
Drag a card from Public to Members only to restrict access and SleekView writes the corresponding _members_access_role postmeta through the standard WordPress update path, so the Members plugin's restriction rules apply on the next page load exactly as if the change had been made on the post edit screen. Filters scope the board to one post type when the site mixes posts, pages, and custom types.

Comparison
Default Members admin vs SleekView Kanban
Default Members content audit
- Members sets restriction on the post edit screen with no overview of the whole site by role
- Auditing the access map means opening every post or running a custom postmeta query
- No card layout that puts post title, type, author, and last modified together by access role
- No saved board view for editors who manage the access map across many post types
- No frontend embed for a stakeholder reviewing what is public versus members-only

Features
What SleekView Kanban gives you for Members
A real access map as a board
SleekView reads wp_posts joined to the _members_access_role meta and shows each post as a card grouped by access role. Title, type, author, and last modified ride on the card front so the access map of the site is one screen.
Drag and drop that writes meta
Moving a card from Public to Members only writes the _members_access_role postmeta through the standard WordPress update path, and the Members plugin's restriction rules apply on the next page load exactly as on the post edit screen.
Scoped by post type
Each saved board view can be scoped to a single post type or a single access role, so an editor working only on pages saves one board, and another editor working only on a custom resources type saves a different board.
Audience
Who runs a Members access board
Editorial leads
Audit the access map of the site in one screen, drag posts that should be Members only out of the Public column, and keep the editorial calendar honest about what is gated.
Site administrators
Save a board scoped to custom post types to confirm that internal documentation is restricted to Editors only and never accidentally exposed to the public column.
Membership owners
See the count of Members only posts grow across the year as a leading indicator of the value the membership tier delivers, without exporting a custom report.
The bigger picture
Access decisions live on posts, so audit them as a board
The Members plugin decides who can read a post through role-based capabilities and per-post overrides stored in postmeta. The plugin is excellent at the writing side: roles are easy to define, capabilities are easy to assign, and the per-post metabox is right there on the edit screen. The reading side, though, depends on opening individual posts or running custom queries, which makes auditing the access map of a site hard.
SleekView Kanban reads the same posts and meta and groups by access role, so Public, Subscribers only, Members only, and any custom role appear as columns with their counts. Editorial leads audit the map in one screen, drag posts that should be gated out of Public, and keep the editorial calendar honest. Membership owners watch the Members only column grow as a leading indicator.
The Members plugin still owns role definitions and capability enforcement, only the way the team audits and adjusts the map changes.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView Kanban for Members
No. The Members plugin still owns role and capability definitions and per-post restriction enforcement. SleekView Kanban is a reading and dragging layer on top of the _members_access_role postmeta, useful when an editor needs to audit the whole access map at once instead of opening posts one at a time.
Whatever role slugs the _members_access_role postmeta contains, plus a Public column for posts with no restriction. Built-in roles such as subscriber, contributor, and editor appear when they are used, and any custom role defined through the Members plugin appears as soon as a post carries it.
SleekView writes the _members_access_role postmeta through the standard WordPress update path. The Members plugin's restriction rules apply on the next page load exactly as if the change had been made on the post edit screen, including any caching invalidation the site does.
Yes. SleekView saves filters per board view, so an editor working only on pages can save a board scoped to pages while another editor working on a custom resources type saves a different board. Each view stays scoped to the user who saved it.
Yes. A post can carry more than one access role in the meta. SleekView shows that post as a card in each matching column with a small indicator that the post is restricted to multiple roles, so the editor sees the full picture without ambiguity.
Yes. SleekView refreshes on a short interval and on focus, so two editors working at once see each other's drag results within a few seconds. The underlying data is the same wp_posts and postmeta, so there is no separate state to reconcile.
It applies the same restriction the Members plugin would apply on the post edit screen. Whether the post is hidden from search results depends on the plugin's settings and any theme-level handling, the board does not introduce a different rule.
Yes. Save a board view, then embed it on a private frontend page reachable only by users in the right role. Reviewers read the access map without a full WordPress admin login, protected by the standard WordPress capabilities Members defines.
