Users with role of “Author” no longer able to view applicants

    Hello,

    Our agency created a website for a client using the Simple Job Board plugin. It has been working perfectly until recent WordPress and Plugin updates. Previously, users that were logged in with the role of “Author” were able to view applicants information. Since the upgrades, a logged in Author receives the message “Sorry, you are not allowed to edit this item.”

    We had a developer help add a custom field to the job board, but I don’t believe he would have touched user permissions. And so, I’m wondering if an update might have caused this. If so, how might we resolve the current issue so that Authors can check applicants information again.

    Thank you!

    Running: Simple Job Board Version 2.8.0 with WordPress Version 5.4.

    Hello @engeloneill,

    We did not touch the Author’s capabilities in our latest release. What can you do now please ask your developer to assign additional permission of application post type to author role via customization.

    Thank you for writing to us. Let us know if we can assist you further.

    Regards,
