Do we need to keep plugin active?

    After creating capabilities or roles and making changes to existing defaults, do we need to keep the URE plugin active?

    I don’t know if it provides runtime services or if it only makes changes to the database. If there is no runtime activity then I’d prefer to disable it until needed, just to eliminate the few init lines of processing in every page cycle.

    Thanks!

    Yes, you can deactivate URE after finishing modification user roles and capabilities. It saves changes directly to the WP core database table and it’s not needed in order those changes used by WP.

    Take into account, if you grant to someone edit users, URE automatically protects users with administrator role from such users – hides their records from the users list.

    If someone except user with administrator role is granted to ‘activate_plugins’, URE automatically hides itself from the “Plugins” list for such user.

    It also adds some UI elements to the “Users” page.

    If you don’t need listed additional features you don’t need to keep plugin active.
