Pods Admin menu item in dashboard

    I am new to Pods. I am working on a staging site in a university system. Pods is one of the available plugins but we have discovered that it requires Super-admin privileges in order for the Pods Admin menu item to appear in the WP dashboard. Our super-admins were looking for a setting that would allow them to provide Pods access to Admins but didn’t see anything. The work around will be to provide me super-admin privileges while I test Pods, but this will not be sustained long term once the site moves from staging to live. What do you suggest? Thanks, Craig

    One workaround is to update the administrator role on the site with the capability “pods”.

    Another workaround is to filter the pods_admin_capabilities value and add whatever capability check you want. Like “edit_users” or “manage_options”:

    /**
 * Filter the capabilities that are required to access the Pods Admin area to include whatever caps we want.
 * 
 * @param array $pods_admin_capabilities The capabilities that are required to access the Pods Admin area.
 *
 * @return array The capabilities that are required to access the Pods Admin area.
 */
function my_custom_pods_admin_capabilities( $pods_admin_capabilities ) {
	$pods_admin_capabilities[] = 'edit_users';
	$pods_admin_capabilities[] = 'manage_options';
	
	return $pods_admin_capabilities;
}
add_filter( 'pods_admin_capabilities', 'my_custom_pods_admin_capabilities' );

    Ultimately, I want to add a network setting that can enable/disable admin on individual sites and choose which capabilities can get access.
