Advanced Access Manager – Access Governance for WordPress

Advanced Access Manager (AAM) introduces Access Governance for WordPress – a systematic approach to securing your site by controlling who can access what, when, and why.

Most WordPress security plugins focus on external threats like malware, firewalls, and brute-force attacks. AAM addresses the root cause of the #1 WordPress security risk: broken access controls, excessive privileges, and misconfigured roles.

Instead of reacting to attacks, AAM helps you design security into your WordPress site.

What Access Governance means in practice

• Mitigate Broken Access Controls. Ensure roles, users, and permissions are correctly configured to prevent unauthorized actions and privilege escalation.
• Eliminate Excessive Privileges. Identify overpowered users and reduce access to critical functionality, admin areas, and APIs.
• Secure Content by Design. Control who can view, edit, publish, or delete posts, pages, media, taxonomies, and custom content types.
• Govern Access with Policy. Define access rules using JSON Access Policies — portable, auditable, and automation-friendly.
• Build Custom Security Logic. Use the AAM PHP Framework to create advanced, programmatic access controls tailored to your application.
