                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p>Does this mean that every WordPress plugin will have access to the same set of users? For example, if users registers through WPforo, they will also get registered for posting comments on my website with the WPDiscuz plugin?</p></blockquote><p>Yes, all plugins use the same user system. Users register one time in wpForo registration form or in other pages you have for registration, it doesn't matter. And then they use all features of website with the same account. This is a single user authorization system for whole website.</p><blockquote><p>Will this subscriber list be available to other plugins as well? I installed <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/email-subscribers/" target="true" rel="nofollow">this plugin</a> but it did not add registered users to the subscriber list. Is there a way to know which plugins will be able to access the registered user list?</p></blockquote><p>The word "subscriber" doesn't mean email notification subscriber, this is the name of user role, it doesn't have any relation to any newsletter subscription. I'd call the "subscriber" as "Registered" user role (in forum they are the users who have <a href="https://wpforo.com/docs/root/members/usergroups-and-permissions/" target="true">Registered usergroup</a>). This name sometimes confuse people. This is user role, not a subscriber of any newsletter.There are five roles in WordPress:</p><ul><li>Administrator</li><li>Editor</li><li>Author</li><li>Contributor</li><li>Subscriber (a user group with lowest permissions)</li></ul><p>More info about user roles here: http://www.wpbeginner.com/glossary/user-role/</p>]]></content:encoded>

The main idea why users are listed in dashboard is allowing admins to manage them, delete, edit, etc... This is also provided by wpForo in Dashboard &gt; Forums &gt; Members admin page.</p><p> </p>]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi WPForoNoob,</p><blockquote><p>Is there any kind of security risk that I might face due to this? Will the registered users be able to access the Admin panel?</p></blockquote><p>You've started using WordPress and you should know that all plugins of WordPress based on WordPress functions and features. The main system used by all plugins is the user and user authorization system. There is no way to create a WordPress plugin without using WordPress user system. If you don't use WordPress user system then the plugin is not a WordPress plugin. All registered users become WordPress users with <a href="http://www.wpbeginner.com/glossary/subscriber/" target="true">subscriber</a> role. The database of users is the same for all plugins and for WordPress so you see all users in one place, in dashboard &gt; users admin page.</p><p>But there are lots of different between your account and other regular registered users. They have  different roles and permissions. WordPress made this absolutely safe, thus all WordPress sites in web allow user registration without any worry. When user access to dashboard he only see profile management fields (username, firstname, etc), nothing else is allowed to registered users. The screenshot of a registered user dashboard:</p><p>https://wpforo.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/wpForo-registered-user-dashboard.png</p><p>Users can open this page using to top black bar. WordPress displays this bar for all registered users. However this bar doesn't have all menus like it's for admin user. It looks like this:</p><p>https://wpforo.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/2018-05-02_1111.png</p><p>wpForo disables the top black bar for non-admin users by default. It has an option to disable it in Dashboard &gt; Forums &gt; Settings &gt; Features admin page:</p><p>https://wpforo.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/wpForo-disable-admin-bar.png</p><p>However some advanced WordPress users may access to this safe page using direct URL. To stop any accesses to the dashboard profile page you can use this plugin (this has not been updated long time, because it doesn't need any changes. it works just fine): https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-admin-no-show/</p>]]></content:encoded>
