User capabilities

Hi @dsl225

I hope you are doing well.

Another option is allowing full access:
https://gist.github.com/wpmudev-sls/d5b24413ca4211930aecd2bb07a4b562, and removing some pages using the remove_submenu_page() for editors.

On upcoming update it will be included on the plugin:
https://premium.wpmudev.org/docs/wpmu-dev-plugins/forminator/#user-roles

Our team is already working to add this option on the plugin interface, which should include the “view” only.

Let us know if you need any further help on this.
Best Regards
Patrick Freitas

Many thanks Patrick @wpmudevsupport12,

That’s excellent, will work that way for the time being and I’m looking forward to exploring the next version which really sounds very promising!

Good day!

@wpmudevsupport12

I enabled the first part and that gives access to Editors without problem.
But I cannot manage the remove_submenu_page() for Editors to work correctly with this plugin.

When I use “editor” in this part:

public function my_cap_forms()
    {
        //Aqui é a nova permiss?o mínima de acesso ao forminator, esse usuário poderá ver as submiss?es, porém apenas
        //usuários com permiss?o de "manage_options" poder?o criar forms, polls e quizes.
        return 'editor';    
    }

and I remove some sub-menu items it works fine for Editors but it completely hides Forminator menu for Admins!

I’m not sure I well understand how to use that section and the comments in there about ‘manage_options’ are quite confusing…

Any clues?

Hi @dsl225,

You only have to use the “remove_submenu_page” function, could you please try the following tweaked code and see whether it helps:

Many thanks Nithin @wpmudevsupport11,

That works great indeed!

I only had to remove the previous one submitted by Patrick to make this work and, if I well understand, this one seems to be a mix of the 2 codes:

– The Editor role gets full access and then menus are removed for this role, or is it a bit different?

Just for my personal education…

Many thanks for your time and assistance!

Hello @dsl225 ,

– The Editor role gets full access and then menus are removed for this role, or is it a bit different?

That is correct. Editor gets full access to Forminator options, so then if we want to limit those then remove_submenu_page is used, to not show those submenus.

kind regards,
Kasia

Many thanks, that’s awesome!
