In the PublishPress Checklists plugin, it is possible to allow some user roles to skip certain tasks. For example, users in the Author role won't have complete the same tasks as users in the Administrator role.
In the screenshot below, both the “Administrator” and “Editor” statuses are selected for the “Exclude User Roles” option. This means that the “Number of words in content” task will not be active for any posts for these user roles.
This feature can be enabled or disabled using the “Enable User Roles Filter” by going to Checklists > Settings > General in your WordPress admin area.
