Roles & Permissions

Intercessor creates three custom WordPress roles and six custom capabilities.

Custom roles

Prayer Manager

A Prayer Manager has broad WordPress content-management access plus full Intercessor management capabilities. This role is intended for trusted staff responsible for administering prayer requests.

Prayer Warrior

A Prayer Warrior is intended for trusted volunteers who need read/export access to prayer information without full settings or content-management privileges.

Requester

The Requester role is a minimal WordPress role used for people who are auto-registered through Intercessor's registration workflow.

Custom capabilities

Capability	Administrator	Prayer Manager	Prayer Warrior
edit_prayers	✓	✓	✓
manage_prayer_settings	✓	✓	—
view_prayer_reports	✓	✓	✓
export_prayer_reports	✓	✓	✓
view_prayer_sensitive_data	✓	✓	—
read_private_prayers	—	—	✓

The plugin uses these capabilities to protect administration, reports, exports, and sensitive request data.

WARNING

The read_private_prayers capability is distinct from edit_prayers. Do not assume that a user who can read private prayers can also moderate requests.
