Filter tables list

    Hi.
    I have a task: I need to give access to contributor to creating tables. I used default caps for this: tablepress_list_tables, tablepress_add_tables, tablepress_delete_tables.

    Contributors can delete own tables and tables created from other users. It’s not safety I think.
    So I need to get contributors access to delete only own tables.

    I decided to solve my problem by filtering tables list in menu “All Tables”. So contributor wouldn’t see tables created other users, so he couldn’t delete them.

    Help me to find hook (filter) responsible for list tables. Or we have any solution to fix this safety problem?
    Thanks.

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    Just hiding the other tables from the Contributors will not be sufficient. You must implement sufficient capability checks here, e.g. also using the map_meta_cap plugin filter hook that WordPress offers.
    (There will be a premium feature in the upcoming TablePress 2.0 that will allow giving access rights to individual tables to individual users.)

    That said, make sure to also use the tablepress_edit_tables capability. The list of tables can be filtered via the tablepress_load_all_tables filter hook.

    Regards,
    Tobias
