Create role- and user-specific README documents visible in the WordPress admin menu.
What Is ReadMeWP?
ReadMeWP lets WordPress admins create internal README documents (guides, SOPs, onboarding docs, etc.) that appear directly in the admin sidebar. Each README is assigned to specific roles and/or users, so the right people see the right documents — and nothing else.
Key Features
- Custom post type — READMEs are a native WP post type, edited in the block editor
- Role-based access — assign a README to one or more roles (Editor, Author, Subscriber, etc.)
- Per-user access — grant access to individual users regardless of role
- Owner lock — optionally restrict editing to the README's creator (even from admins)
- Creator permissions — control which roles/users can create new READMEs via the Settings page
- Admin menu integration — READMEs appear as submenu items; non-permissioned users see nothing
- Read-only viewer — clean admin-page viewer for non-editor users; no front-end exposure
