The MainWP Team Control Extension is a powerful tool designed to provide centralized control over user roles and permissions within a MainWP dashboard. This extension is especially useful for agencies, teams, or businesses managing multiple WordPress websites and having various users with different responsibilities. It allows you to efficiently manage and control who can access and perform specific tasks across the connected sites from one central location.
