SleekView Kanban for Members Plugin
SleekView reads Members roles and capabilities directly from wp_users and the options where Members stores custom roles, groups every assignment by review state, and lets your team drag cards between Proposed, In review, Approved, and Active so the assignment updates instantly.

Why Members role assignments fit a kanban view
Members stores custom roles in wp_user_roles inside options and tracks user membership through wp_capabilities rows in wp_usermeta. Every assignment carries a user_id, a role slug, the capability list inherited from the role, an assigning admin reference, and a created-on timestamp. The default Members admin lists roles in a table and capabilities in a checkbox grid, fine for one-off changes and weak when a team coordinates a quarterly review across hundreds of users.
SleekView reads the same Members role records the plugin admin queries. Pick a derived members_state field that buckets assignments by review workflow, role slug, and assigning admin and every assignment becomes a card grouped under Proposed, In review, Approved, or Active. Card fronts show the user display name, the requested role slug, the assigning admin, and the capability count so a lead can prioritize approvals from one board.
Dragging a card writes a review tag into user meta. A move from In review to Approved flips a workflow flag and timestamps the action. The Members role enforcement on every page load continues to honor the live wp_capabilities row, so a board move never grants capabilities until the card lands in Active.

Comparison
Members admin vs SleekView Kanban
Default Members admin
- Long sortable user table with no triage queue showing role changes pending
- Editing a role requires opening each user and reloading the page filter
- No visual sense of which assignments are in review versus already approved
- Approving a role requires the per-user edit screen and a save confirmation
- Leads need promote_users and Members training to coordinate the review

Features
What SleekView Kanban gives you for Members
Native Members role model
Every column maps to a real review state derived from the role slug, the assigning admin, and a review tag in user meta. Members enforcement honors the live wp_capabilities row, so a move never grants until Active.
Drag-and-drop audit trail
Each move writes a review entry into user meta naming the admin, source column, destination column, and timestamp. If a lead pushes a role back from Approved to In review, the chain of custody stays visible for the next audit.
Saved board views per role group
Filter to editor and author assignments for the content lead, shop manager and vendor roles for commerce, and read-only auditor accounts for compliance. Each saved view becomes a shareable URL for each team's review session.
Audience
Where a Members role kanban changes work
Quarterly access review
Access leads scope the board to all role changes in the past quarter, drag proposed assignments into In review, and confirm Active only once every Proposed card has a documented approval.
Custom role rollout
Admins drafting a custom role pull the Proposed column, verify the capability list matches the documented scope, and Approve once the security lead signs off on the capability boundary.
Compliance audit support
Auditors scope the board to administrator and shop manager assignments, confirm each matches a documented business justification, and export the board to satisfy access control evidence.
The bigger picture
Why this view matters for role governance
Members lets admins build custom roles and capabilities, which is exactly what makes the default user table hard to use for review. The sortable list is great when an admin knows the specific user they need to change and almost useless when a lead is coordinating a quarterly review across hundreds of editors and contributors. Most teams end up exporting users to a spreadsheet, tracking proposed role changes in a separate tab, and updating the live site days later.
The spreadsheet drifts almost immediately. New users keep landing in WordPress with default roles, the spreadsheet records approvals nobody applies, and by the quarter's end the two views disagree. A kanban view that reads and writes the same Members user meta as the admin keeps the team and the source of truth aligned.
Proposed assignments surface immediately. Approved assignments carry a documented decision and a named admin.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView Kanban for Members
Live. SleekView queries the same wp_user_roles option and wp_capabilities user meta the Members admin reads from. Filters apply at the SQL level, so a board scoped to the last quarter reflects assignments made in that quarter.
Yes. The Active column write triggers the same WordPress set_role and add_cap calls Members uses internally, so role enforcement on every page load reflects the change in the same request. Earlier columns store only the workflow tag.
Yes. The role slug stored in wp_capabilities tags each assignment with its source role. SleekView exposes the slug as a filter and grouping option, so a lead can scope to custom Members roles or to built-in roles like editor.
Yes. Every move runs through current_user_can('promote_users') and the Members admin capability before any user meta write. An editor account can drag for personal sorting but the change does not persist.
Filters apply at the database query level rather than in JavaScript. A typical board scopes to a single role group, to the last quarter, or to in-review assignments only, so the rendered card count stays well under a thousand.
Yes. The capability count derives from the wp_user_roles option and the assigning admin lives in custom user meta. SleekView exposes both as card fields, so a lead can spot proposed roles with unusually broad capability grants.
Yes. Members add-ons extend the role model with content permissions, private site mode, and additional capability groups. SleekView reads the same wp_capabilities meta, so add-on fields surface on the same board.
Yes. Every drag writes a review entry into user meta naming the admin, the source column, the destination column, and the timestamp. The entry uses standard WordPress user meta so audits and exports can read the trail.
