# Roles and Capabilities Manager

The role manager, located inside the admin “Settings” menu, allows for the creation and management of custom user roles. Roles can be assigned to a users to limit or grant access to Disciple.Tools capabilities. Capabilities can be registered by disciple.tools theme and extension developers. See WP Admin > D.T Settings > Roles.
