Role Contributor vs Image Upload

Hi,

All the users who can create topic on support forum, will be able to upload images.

Why you think contributor should not be able to upload images? Is the contributor able to create topic on support forum, if yes, he will be able to upload images.

Why you think contributor should not be able to upload images?

See the answer here : https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Roles_and_Capabilities#Editor

Contributor rights
delete_posts
edit_posts
read

Editor – Author rights
upload_files
etc…

To be safe I would have thought that we should give an additional right – Special right – for it to Contributors selected.

Special Cases
The following capabilities are special cases:

unfiltered_upload – This capability is not available to any role by default . The capability needs to be enabled by defining the following constant:
define( ‘ALLOW_UNFILTERED_UPLOADS’, true );
With this constant defined, all roles on a single site install can be given the unfiltered_upload capability.

Now this is somewhat conflicting situation, because you are viewing it from WordPress role’s perspective. This being the bbPress plugin, we should think from bbPress’s point of view.

1. The lowest user role is who can create create and edit his own topic is “participant” which has “publish_topics” capability, so he can create topics (which are posts in fact), so he should be able to add attachments as well.

2. Now it depends on user (plugin user) whether a contributor can be participant or only Editors and author can be!

Hope this is clear.

Ankit
