TablePress and Limiting Access to Edit Tables

    I need to limit access to particular tables by user roles. To do this, I’ve implemented the Members plugin and Role Scoper to define particular roles and allows me to limit each user access to edit only particular pages. Some of these pages have tables on them. I’m trying to force the user to edit the table using the Edit Table link on the front end of the page (in edit mode). I’ve successfully limited their access to the pages I need, and on their pages are the Edit Table links that correspond with their particular tables they need access to. My problem now is that I’ve limited their access to actually edit the table – so when they click the Edit Table link, its saying they don’t have access to edit the table. I’ve been trying different permissions in the Member plugin for the given user group, but am not having any luck. What I want is for the user to login, not have access to all the tables in Table Press, so I don’t want the Table Press menu option available to them when they login – what I want is for them to only gain access to their tables via the page view where they can click the “edit table” link and get into their specific table. Is there such a way to do this?

    Here’s a link to one of the pages that I want limited access to:

    Any help would be greatly appreciate.

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    That’s not really possible like this. Users will need the tablepress_edit_tables capability. They might also need the tablepress_list_tables capability, as the “Edit” screen won’t show otherwise (this is due to how admin pages work).

    Now, I’m working on TablePress Extension for advanced access rights management, but as it will be a premium Extension in the future, it is not public yet. If you are interested in that, please send me an email, the address is in the main plugin file “tablepress.php”.

    Regards,
    Tobias
