Permissions Issue
-
Hi Josie,
First, thank you for creating a great plugin. Our club has used it without issues for a number of years. I am in the process of creating a new site for our club and I have run into a bit of a snag so I am looking for a little guidance.
I have created a user role called ProjectedChair that definitely has “edit_users” permission set. However, when logged in as the ProjectedChair, I am unable to view the EW Permissions item on the admin menu.
However, if ProjectedChair has “manage_options” permission, the EW menu item is visible. The state of the edit_user permission does not seem to affect the visibility of the EW Permissions menu item when “manage_options” is true.
This situation seems to contradict the Help documentation which, as you know states:
As of version 1.2.28, either ‘edit_users’ or ‘manage_options’ WordPress capability is required to see the Permissions page. Earlier versions of entrywizard required manage_options. Both are by default restricted to admin.
We are using PeachPress’s Capabilities plugin (v. 2.8.1) to manage role permissions. Our site is using WordPress version 6.2.2 with PHP 8.1.8 and the Twenty-TwentyThree theme. This issue is not mission critical but it would be nice if I did not have to expose the “manage_options” permissions to the ProjectedChair role.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions and information.
