AAM 8.0Live · Monitoring and fixes

A new home for access control

AAM 8.0 is deployed. We are actively monitoring the release, responding to incoming reports, and fixing bugs as they are found. The redesigned interface gives access decisions a clearer home in WordPress.

A clearer path through roles, users, policies, and settings
A familiar WordPress feel with a quiet AAM character
Ongoing fixes and refinements informed by real use

AAM 8.1Planned

Access control, wherever you work

Bring AAM into developer workflows and agent integrations with WP-CLI commands, a library of Abilities, and an MCP server.

WP-CLI for repeatable operational work
A library of Abilities for defined actions
An MCP server for controlled tool access

AAM 8.2Exploring

Activity with useful context

We are exploring our own user activity log, built around a different implementation pattern from conventional activity tracking plugins. The goal is useful access context, not another wall of events.

Understand meaningful changes and actions
Connect activity to access decisions
Make reviews more focused and explainable

A living direction

Help shape what useful looks like.
