# Listing Manager

**The Listing Manage**r is a **user role** in the **Motors** plugin designed to enhance administrative functionality while focusing on listing management. This role provides access to the WordPress Dashboard and includes permissions identical to the default [**editor**](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/roles-and-capabilities/#editor) role defined by WordPress. 

## What can the Listing Manager do?

Here is the list of capabilities of the listing manager:

* Access to the **WordPress Dashboard** (back-end)
* Ability to create and edit [**listings.**](/motors-car-dealer-classifieds-and-listing/listing-management/listing-actions.md)
* Ability to create and manage [**custom fields.**](/motors-car-dealer-classifieds-and-listing/search-filter/custom-fields.md)
* Have a [**Public Profile**](#public-profile) with inventory

## How to assign a Listing Manager user role?

Admins can manually assign this role to users via the "Users" menu, enabling seamless management of listings and custom content fields with a streamlined workflow.

{% hint style="info" %}
First, the user **must be** [**registered**](/motors-car-dealer-classifieds-and-listing/motors-plugin-settings/pages.md#profile-page) on your website to get the Listing Manager user role.
{% endhint %}

1. In the WordPress dashboard, follow **Users > All Users** and **edit** the user you want:

### Public Profile

**The public profile** of the Listing Manager is the page where the bio and inventory of the user will be shown publicly. In the listing, there is a special section where the author of the listing is mentioned. By clicking on it, all users can be redirected to the public profile of the user:
