You can use userspice to interact with the wordpress database, but as you said, since the php files aren't visible, you can't use it for access control. TBH, I've used several plugins to try to do that with wordpress and they all worked like garbage. Any time I needed a full CMS that needed userspice-type access control, I had to use joomla...which I didn't love, but it worked. Sorry. I wish I had better news.
thank you for your help and insight, I'd have loved to use userspice for my project as I also find the wordpress user management / access control plugins sloppy as one often needs about a handful of plugins and the related addons to get decent-ish administration. perhaps one should look to transform or adapt userspice into an open source plugin for wordpress to use across multiple projects... but the wordpress cms is a closed system for serious coding
