SeedProd provides a set of WordPress filters that let you control which user roles and capabilities can access different areas of the SeedProd interface. Use these filters in your theme’s functions.php file or a custom plugin to restrict or expand access as needed.

Note: This document is intended for developers. For more information on using WordPress filters, see the WordPress Developer Reference for add_filter().
