WeCareRemote’s blog dynamically adapts what you see based on your account role. Refugee users see content relevant to accessing services, while NGO administrators get additional publishing and management capabilities. The changes happen automatically when you log in — no configuration needed on your part. Under the hood, the WeCareRemote WordPress plugin reads the permissions field from your JWT token on every page request and uses it to:
  • Show or hide menu items based on role
  • Display the appropriate header for your account
  • Filter post content visibility for role-restricted articles
  • Toggle administrative UI elements in the WordPress admin

​
Access by role

When you visit the blog without logging in, you see the public view:
  • Public articles and resources available to all visitors
  • A login prompt in the page header
  • The standard public navigation menu
To access any role-specific content, you need to log in.
Navigation menus on the blog are configured to show items selectively based on login status and role. A menu item can be set to display for:
  • All visitors — shown to everyone, including logged-out users
  • Logged-in users — shown to any authenticated user regardless of role
  • Specific roles — shown only to blog users or only to org_admin users
This means the navigation you see after logging in will differ from what a logged-out visitor or a user with a different role sees.

​
Changing your role

Roles are assigned by WeCareRemote administrators when your account is created or updated. You cannot change your own role. If you need a different level of access — for example, if you are an NGO staff member who needs org_admin access — contact WeCareRemote support to request a role change.
Your permissions are encoded in your JWT token at login. Every time the blog verifies your session, it reads the permissions field from the token to determine what you can access. You can view your current permissions using the [angular_user_info] shortcode on any blog page.

​
Configuring role-specific menus (for admins)

If you are an org_admin configuring menus in WordPress:
1

Open Appearance → Menus

Navigate to the WordPress admin and open the menu editor.
2

Edit a menu item

Click the menu item you want to restrict and expand its settings.
3

Set visibility

Use the WeCareRemote visibility selector to choose who sees the item — everyone, logged-in users, only blog users, or only org_admin users.
4

Save the menu

Save your changes. The new visibility rules apply immediately on the next page load.

​
Common patterns

  • Public landing pages with [wcr_login_form] embedded for easy sign-in.
  • Resource libraries visible only to logged-in users, so anonymous visitors do not consume them.
  • Internal NGO playbooks restricted to org_admin users for staff-only documentation.
  • Refugee-only support guides restricted to the blog role, so the content stays focused on the audience it is written for.
