URE updates for users without control of settings

[vision37]

We are an agency that builds and hosts WP sites for clients but we are trying to figure out how the site owners can only update the URE plugin without having the ability to deactivate/delete the plugin it or access the settings.

Can someone/Vladimir help with this?

If you pre-install URE to the site, input the license key or add it to WordPress configuration via PHP constant, like below:

// User Role Editor Pro License Code
define('URE_LICENSE_KEY', '5ae21 ... a75de');

and use has permissions to update plugins (update_plugins), there is not need to have access to URE settings. Such user will can install URE updates via ‘Dashboard->UPdates’ with any other plugin update together.

Thanks for your reply.

Is it possible to rename the URE plugin to something else? And if so, would those settings/new plugin name be overwritten when there are updates released?

Thanks

URE does not include suitable hooks to rename plugin. FYI, I do not appreciate this.

Yes, if you will replace plugin name directly in the plugin source code, the changes will be overwritten every time you will install updated version.
