Reports not visible unless "Delete User" rights are granted

  • I’m using your plug-in in conjunction with another plug-in called Advanced Access Manager. Both plug-ins are great, and both deliver a great deal of capabilities that I need on my site.
    What I have found is that, after creating some reports, as an admin, users are not able to see these reports unless I grant them the access privilege to “Delete Users” as defined in the Advanced Access Manager (https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/advanced-access-manager/ ) plugin.
    I’ve discovered at least one other plug-in that also requires that I grant access to a very special privilege, in order to get the plug-in to work.
    To determine that the root cause was that this specific capability was needed I first noted that the Manager role had access to the reports, while the Author role does not. I compared the role of author and manager, and one after another, I enabled or disabled each individual capability until I had isolated the culprit.
    Is there anything you can do to declare separate capabilities, such as Create/Delete Reports, & Read Reports? That would be ideal.
    Any thoughts on this problem?

    delete_users is a special capability for non-multisite WordPress sites in which gives them full access to plugins and themes looking to determine who the ‘admin’ is.

    There’s a massive amount of stuff I’ve got planned for the Exports and Reports plugin at some point, but I’ve been focusing my time and efforts mostly on my more successful project, Pods – https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/pods/

    In the next update, I’ll keep this in mind for you so you can more easily specify these types of capabilities.
