Permissions – Impressive Question

    We’re using Caldera on some pages and some of our editors wanted to start viewing/export entries. I found the Pin settings and have to say it is really cool so I just wanted to say thanks.

    I don’t think we’ll ever have an editor we trust enough to create forms, but if we ever do, is it possible to allow them to edit a form (or all forms)? It looks like it is tied in the code to manage_options but since I almost missed the Pin option I wasn’t sure if I was missing something that could downgrade that to something like “publish_pages” or anything similar.

    Thanks again!
    Andrew

  • Still no answer to this?

    We have the same situation, in that we need to hand off the site to client, but need to allow “editors” to create and edit forms – is there any way to allow this?

    When I activate the “pin to menu” there is an error when logging in via an editor account, and the caldera forms admin menu isnt shown in the side menu.

    “Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/meerlanden/domains/meerlanden.nl/public_html/wp-content/plugins/caldera-forms/classes/admin.php on line 747”

    The only current option I have seen is to search the code for manage_options and replace with an editor permission such as publish_pages.

    We didn’t end up needing to explore it further as the admin did not want editors to create forms, just view them, and for us, the pin to menu worked as expected/intended.

    If you change the code you probably won’t need the pin to feature so you could take it off the form settings and hopefully it’d clear up your error until you can track it down.

    We plan on making permissions for editing forms filterable in a future release, but have not had a chance to work on it.

    Thanks for the feedback guys – replacing all “manage_options” with “publish_pages” in caldera-forms/classes/admin.php did the trick.
