allow role to edit privacy policy page

[dzamanakos]

Hi, i’ve read that in recent wp versions, only administrator can change the privacy policy page text.

How can via your pro plugin that i own to add edit capabilities to this page for some roles? Or at least for editor.

Hi,

Admin menu item “Settings->Privacy” and selected “Privacy” page editing are protected by ‘manage_privacy_options’ user capability.
‘manage_privacy_options’ capability is mapped by default to ‘manage_options’ capability.

So after ‘edit_pages’, ‘edit_published_pages’, ‘edit_others_pages’ WordPress checks ‘manage_privacy_options’ (‘manage_options’ by default) capability for privacy page too:

/*
* Setting the privacy policy page requires <code>manage_privacy_options</code>,
* so editing it should require that too.
*/
if ( (int) get_option( 'wp_page_for_privacy_policy' ) === $post->ID ) {
	$caps = array_merge( $caps, map_meta_cap( 'manage_privacy_options', $user_id ) );
			}

URE Pro has a related option at the “Settings->User Role Editor->Additional Modules” tab – ” Privacy related (manage_privacy_options, export_others_personal_data, erase_others_personal_data)”. It’s located under “Use additional capabilities section” at the bottom of the form.
With this option activated URE maps ‘manage_privacy_options’, ‘export_others_personal_data’, ‘erase_others_personal_data’ capabilities to the ‘manage_privacy_options’, ‘export_others_personal_data’, ‘erase_others_personal_data’ correspondingly instead of default ‘manage_options’.

But due to some glitch discovered during recent test user with ‘manage_privacy_options’ capability still does not have access to the ‘Settings->Privacy’ menu item. It needs investigation and fix.

If you does not plan to give access to this menu item for your editor, that’s it. Just select ‘Editor’ role at “Users->User Role Editor” and grant to it
‘manage_privacy_options’ capability. It should be enough in order to allow to editor role to edit your pre-selected privacy page.
