What is the User Role Condition?

This condition allows you to display dynamic content based on the various user roles on your site.

If-So automatically pulls the list of user roles from your WordPress site and adds them to the dropdown menu of the User Role condition.

Custom User Roles (Created by Third-Party Plugins)

Custom user roles created by third-party plugins will automatically appear on the condition’s user roles list for you to choose from.
