   3. Implement proper access restriction handling
 - **Testing criteria**: Verify correct permissions are applied based on user roles
 
+### Role-Based Access Controls
+- **Description**: Implement fine-grained access controls for different user roles
+- **Why it's valuable**: Allows administrators to restrict access to specific plugin features
+- **Implementation plan**:
+  1. Create role capability mapping system
+  2. Add permission checks throughout the plugin
+  3. Create UI for managing role permissions
+- **Testing criteria**: Verify users can only access features appropriate to their role
+
+### Improved Plugin Structure
+- **Description**: Better organization of code with clearer separation of concerns
+- **Why it's valuable**: More maintainable codebase and fewer dependency issues
+- **Implementation plan**:
+  1. Reorganize class loading order
+  2. Improve dependency management
+  3. Enhance error handling for API calls
+- **Testing criteria**: Verify plugin loads correctly with no dependency errors
+
+### Performance Optimizations
+- **Description**: Improve plugin performance and resource usage
+- **Why it's valuable**: Better user experience and lower server load
+- **Implementation plan**:
+  1. Optimize asset loading (CSS/JS)
+  2. Reduce database queries
+  3. Implement caching for external API requests
+- **Testing criteria**: Verify reduced page load times and server resource usage
+
+### Enhanced Plugin Filtering
+- **Description**: More advanced filtering options for the plugins section
+- **Why it's valuable**: Makes it easier for users to find relevant plugins
+- **Implementation plan**:
+  1. Add category-specific icons and metadata
+  2. Implement more filtering options
+  3. Improve search functionality
+- **Testing criteria**: Verify filtering works correctly and improves plugin discovery
+
+### Plugin Settings Export/Import
+- **Description**: Allow users to backup and restore plugin settings
+- **Why it's valuable**: Easier migration between environments and configuration backup
+- **Implementation plan**:
+  1. Create export functionality for settings
+  2. Implement import/restore capability
+  3. Add settings profiles for different use cases
+- **Testing criteria**: Verify settings can be exported and successfully imported on another site

 ## Development Order
 
 The suggested implementation order is:
 
 1. Admin Colors Feature (low complexity, enhances UI)
 2. Basic Admin UI Enhancements (foundation for other UI improvements)
-3. Advanced Admin UI Components (builds on basic UI)
-4. Access Manager Improvements (depends on UI components)
-5. Plugin Dashboard improvements
-6. New Category Pages
+3. Role-Based Access Controls (security-related, high priority)
+4. Advanced Admin UI Components (builds on basic UI)
+5. Access Manager Improvements (depends on UI components and role controls)
+6. Performance Optimizations (improves user experience)
+7. Enhanced Plugin Filtering (better usability)
+8. Improved Plugin Structure (code quality)
+9. Plugin Dashboard improvements (adds functionality)
+10. New Category Pages (content enhancement)
+11. Plugin Settings Export/Import (advanced functionality)
 
 Each feature should be developed in its own branch and only merged after thorough testing.
