Role for LifterLMS course author

@maudevuille,

You can use the following resource to customize the permissions necessary to access various areas of LifterLMS: https://lifterlms.readme.io/docs/filters-admin-menu-and-screen-permissions

We plan on creating some custom user roles (like WooCommerce) to make this easier in the future.

Let me know if you need any further assistance,

Hi,
Thanks for your swift reply. Unfortunately, with the multisite, this is beyond my technical skills.

@maudevuille,

I’m sorry that we don’t have a simpler solution…

Perhaps a plugin like https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/capability-manager-enhanced/ might help out?

Hello @thomasplevy,

Hi have the exact same need: I want to allow somebody to edit courses content, but not to touch anything else in the site.

I had found an article at
blog.lifterlms.com/permission-management-in-lifterlms-1-4-5/
that gives an overview, and suggests the same link you mentioned:
https://lifterlms.readme.io/docs/filters-admin-menu-and-screen-permissions

But that links just yields the message “We moved to lifterlms.com/docs”.
I tried to navigate lifterlms.com/doc in search for information, but found none.

Is there any other resource I can look at, to define proper user roles?

I believe it’s a natural requirement, to allow a user to create courses content and not be the administrator of the site.

Thanks a lot!

@pdoc,

You’ll want to take a look at the filters documented here:

https://lifterlms.com/docs/lifterlms-filters/#lifterlms_admin_menu_access
https://lifterlms.com/docs/lifterlms-filters/#lifterlms_admin_{$post_type}_access
https://lifterlms.com/docs/lifterlms-filters/#lifterlms_admin_{$settings}_access

I agree that this is a natural requirement and we’ve had improvements around this on our backlog for a long time now. Why haven’t we done it yet? Because I can only write so much code a day and we have a lot of other natural requirements that we’ve been slowly adding and we haven’t gotten here yet. Sorry

Hope that helps!

Hello @thomasplevy,
Thanks a lot for your reply.
You gave me a track to follow and study on.
In case I encounter any difficulty to code my filter, I will come back with questions, if that’s ok for you.
