External Services & Privacy
WordPress AI Client API
This plugin optionally uses WordPress core’s AI Client API (WordPress 7.0+) to provide AI-powered features:
- What data is sent: When AI features are enabled, the plugin sends role/capability metadata, audit log entries, and permission configurations to the AI provider configured in WordPress Settings AI
- When data is sent: Only when you actively use AI features (natural language role builder, audit digest generation, capability explanations, anomaly detection)
- External communication: The plugin does NOT directly communicate with external AI services. All external AI communication is managed by WordPress core based on your site-level AI provider configuration
- Data retention: Data handling and retention policies depend on the AI provider you configure (Anthropic, OpenAI, etc.). Refer to your chosen provider’s privacy policy
- Opting out: AI features are disabled by default and can be toggled on/off in Settings AI
No Other External Services
This plugin does not make any other external HTTP requests or connect to third-party services beyond the WordPress AI Client API integration described above.

Nejčastější dotazy
-
Do I need WordPress 7.0 for this plugin to work?
-
No. The plugin works with WordPress 6.0+. However, AI features require WordPress 7.0+ and a configured AI provider.
-
Does this plugin call Anthropic or OpenAI directly?
-
No. The plugin uses WordPress core’s AI Client API, which handles all external AI communication. You configure your preferred AI provider once at the WordPress level (Settings AI), not per-plugin.
-
What AI providers are supported?
-
Any AI provider supported by WordPress core’s AI Client API, which typically includes Anthropic Claude, OpenAI GPT, and others. Configuration is managed in WordPress Settings AI.
-
Can I use this plugin without AI features?
-
Yes! All core role management, audit logging, access control, and multisite features work independently of AI. AI features are entirely optional.
-
Is my data sent to third-party AI services?
-
Only if you enable AI features AND have configured an AI provider in WordPress Settings AI. When enabled, role/capability data is sent to your configured AI provider to generate natural language descriptions, summaries, and analysis. The plugin itself does not directly communicate with external services.
-
What happens to orphaned capabilities from deactivated plugins?
-
The plugin detects orphaned capabilities (those not recognized by active plugins) and allows you to:
* View which roles have them assigned
* Use AI to explain what they likely controlled (optional)
* Remove them from all roles with one click -
Can I restrict access to specific REST API endpoints?
-
Yes. The REST API route permissions feature allows you to define custom permission rules for any WordPress REST API route by role.
-
Does this work in a multisite network?
-
Yes. The plugin includes full multisite support with network-wide role management, site-specific overrides, and bulk synchronization.
