Members and Permissions

Control how many business pages members can create, based on their role or BuddyPress profile type.

Go to WB Plugins > Business Profile > Member Restrictions.

Global Creation Limit

Set the default maximum number of businesses any member can create.

Setting	Description	Default
Business pages per member	Maximum businesses a single member can create	5

Administrators always have unlimited creation rights.

Role-Based Limits

Enable role-specific limits to override the global setting per WordPress role (Editor, Author, Contributor, Subscriber, and any custom roles).

Special values:

• 0 - Cannot create any businesses
• -1 - Unlimited businesses
• Any positive number - That many businesses allowed

Profile Type Limits (BuddyPress)

If you use BuddyPress profile types, you can set a different limit per profile type. This is useful for tiered membership, for example one business for free members and unlimited for a business tier.

Priority Order

When more than one limit could apply to a member, the plugin resolves in this order:

1. Profile type limit (if enabled and the member has a type)
2. Role-based limit (if enabled)
3. Global limit (default fallback)

Example Configurations

Global limit: 1

Checking a Member’s Quota in Code

The resolved quota for the current or a given user is returned by:

$quota = bp_business_profile_get_user_quota( $user_id );
