The Simple Membership Plugin uses membership levels to determine whether a user can access protected content on the front end of your website.
If content is protected by a specific membership level and a user doesn’t have that level assigned to their account, the plugin will hide the content from them. This is why a member record, with an assigned membership level, is required in the plugin’s Members menu for a user to access protected content.
If you want your WordPress admin user to access protected content, follow the steps below to create a membership record and assign a membership level to that admin user.

Import a WordPress Admin User and Assign a Membership Level
Step 1) Create a New Membership Level
Create a new membership level for the WordPress admin user. Lets call it “Admin Access Level“. This special membership level will be used by your admin user account only.
Step 2) Import WP Admin User
Import your WP Admin user into the “Admin Access Level” using our free wp user importer addon.
The following screenshot shows an example of how the importer addon can be used to import a WP user into an Admin level.
Step 3) Configure Membership Level Access
Give this newly created membership level (Admin Access Level) access to all your protected content.
Step 4) Re-Login to Apply Changes
Log out of the site and then log back in.
Now, when you are logged in using this admin user account, you will be able to see all the protected content from the front-end.
