Add access to code snippet plugin

[bsahin]

Hello,

I want “shop manager” role to edit code snippet plugins.

What should I do for this?

Hi,

Send a link to plugin at wordpress.org/plugins in order we talk about the same plugin.

Hi,

Code Snippets plugin uses ‘manage_options’ user capability and ‘manage_network_options’ for the WordPress multisite.
It allows to replace default user capability via custom filters:
code_snippets_cap :

/**
* Retrieve the name of the capability required to manage sub-site snippets
*
* @return string
*/
public function get_cap_name() {
	return apply_filters( 'code_snippets_cap', 'manage_options' );
}

and
code_snippets_network_cap:

/**
* Retrieve the name of the capability required to manage network snippets
*
* @return string
*/
public function get_network_cap_name() {
	return apply_filters( 'code_snippets_network_cap', 'manage_network_options' );
}

Take into account that user who can execute PHP code at the site server can get superadmin access in a minute. You should trust to such person.

Hi Vladimir,
So if I add these snippets to code snippet plugin, then I can assign shop manager to change it. (just example)

Yes, I am aware the risk, but we have to change some snippets by daily basis.

thanks for warning.

You don’t need to add these snippets to CS plugin. I took them from its source code to show you the possibility to change ‘manage_options’ to any other user capability.
If do not change that, just grant ‘manage_options’ capability to shop manager. It will get access to the ‘Snippets’ admin menu. Also it will get access to all other admin menu items, protected by ‘manage_options’, like ‘Settings’ for example. You can block them using “Admin menu access” add-on included into URE Pro.
