User Role Permissions (Don't want Photo Seller user to be Admin)

[RickM]

Hi

I am a WordPress Admin and I want my client to be able to access all Photo Seller functions without being an Admin themselves.

If I make my client an Editor (or anything less) they cannot access WP Photo Seller.

Is there a solution to this please?

Hi,

Yes there is a filter you can use.

Put the following in your theme’s functions.php

add_filter("wpps_menu_capability", "wpps_change_mgmt_permissions", 10, 1);

function wpps_change_mgmt_permissions($permission){

return "publish_pages";

}

Thanks Peter – worked like a charm

Hi,

Thanks for the above answer, it is very helpful, but I was wondering if/how I could choose which role(s) I wish to use the plugin.

I use the User Role Editor plugin on my site. Is there a “capability” I can add to my chosen roles? If I do it this way will I still need the above code in the functions.php?

Thanks

Hi,

If you want to change the role which can access the photo seller plugin you will need to choose a different capability and replace “publish_pages” in the code sample with the new one.

For a list of roles/capabilities see the following:

Cheers Peter, this is working exactly as I was hoping. I was able to create a new capability called “photo_seller” and apply that to the custom role I created and replace it in the code above. Now only the custom role and Administrator can see the photo seller plugin
