 * I’m doing some support for a client. They want some changes to be done to user
   roles and I see that they have Advanced Access Manager already installed, however
   the options are not appearing in the admin sidebar where they should be, so I
   cannot make any changes. I looked this up and it seems if I uninstall and re-
   install the plugin the options should appear. The only issue is that there are
   already multiple users set up with custom roles and deleting this plugin will
   delete the role data for each user. Is there anyway I can save the data just 
   for this plugin so that after I uninstall and reinstall, no data is lost and 
   the users maintain their roles?
