Members Pro Reference

Technical reference for roles, permissions, shortcodes, audience checks, limits, retention, and supported integrations.

Roles, capabilities, and scope

Capability	Purpose
`atshme_review`	Review posts and membership-change requests within scope.
`atshme_send_notices`	Build and schedule permitted notice campaigns.
`atshme_import_members`	Preview CSV data and send verified member invitations.

Administrators receive these capabilities on activation. Other operators need an explicit grant and, when classifications are used, an explicit scope. Post-publishing capability alone does not grant Members Pro operations.

Shortcodes

Shortcode	Output and access
`[atshme_workspace]`	Shows the signed-in member’s posts, private attachments, approval requests, and history. Place it on a members-only page.
`[atshme_notice_preferences]`	Lets the signed-in member opt in or out of notice email. The initial state is opt-out.

Shortcodes do not grant access by themselves. The current member, post audience, membership state, and Pro availability are checked for every operation.

Operational limits

Approval stages: Up to five ordered reviewers.
Notice bundle: 1–20 published notices per campaign.
Delivery audience: Up to 1,000 active members; 20 messages per worker run through WP-Cron.
CSV invitations: UTF-8, 200 KB, and 100 rows maximum. email is required.
WordPress topology: Single-site only. Multisite is not supported.

Accepted delivery means wp_mail accepted the message for transport; it does not prove inbox delivery. A message left in sending state is not automatically resent because the result is unknown.

Temporary data and retention

Data	Retention
Delivery history	30 days
Invitation profile initial values	30 minutes
Unconfirmed previews	10 minutes
Completed approval requests	Scheduled cleanup after 90 days

Active requests and current membership assignments are retained. Delivery history for a deleted member is removed during account closure.

Integration contract and boundaries

atshift User Profile Fields Pro owns hierarchical classifications; Members reads and changes them only through the supported integration API.
Classification hierarchy does not imply inherited permission or audience membership.
Classification-change approval, expiration-based membership, and branch-operator auto-assignment for invitations are not included.
Direct S3, Google Drive, Dropbox, or NAS-connection UI is not included. Private storage uses the free plugin’s configured server-side store.
Recurring digest generation and dedicated external mail-service adapters are not included.
