License key input field is available at Pro version only.
It is needed to deactivate free version, download & install Pro version. License key input field is located at ‘General’ tab of URE plugin Options page (Settings – User Role Editor).

Just in case someone meet a similar issue, by @kardon report the reason of a problem was not deactivated free version of User Role Editor.

You should deactivate free version of User Role Editor Pro before activate Pro version. In general you will see correct error message, but it seems there are exclusions…

I did not get valid password from you. Did you resolve a problem yourself?

This is the 1st message of such kind. Is it possible to check this on site? Superadmin and FTP access could be required.
If ‘Yes’ send login credentials to support [at-sign] role-editor.com

[Vladimir]

Thanks for the information.
I suppose that it is a result of temporal service unavailability. I checked just now and got a valid response.

[Vladimir]

OK. Thanks for the help with testing the updates.

[Vladimir]

@andytc: Thanks for the good feedback!

Beta version 4.18b4 is available at Download page.
Starting from this version ‘Howdy, …’ menu including ‘Logout’ menu item at top bar admin menu will not disappear after blocking ‘Profile’ menu for the role.

[Vladimir]

I do not offer to turn of “Activate Create Post/Page”. Just turn on ‘create_posts’, ‘create_pages’ capabilities for those role you wish allow that, like ‘Administrator’, ‘Editor’ or ‘Author’.

Yes, of course. We may continue via email.

1) I can not repeat the logout disappear issue at my test sites. Is it possible to get admin access to your own to investigate the issue on site?
2) I suppose that you have an option “Activate “Create Post/Page” capability” activated. After that role should have capabilities ‘create_posts’ and ‘create_pages’ turned on in order to see ‘Add new’ at Posts/Pages submenu.
3) In order to delete role created by URE plugin this role should not be assigned to any user. After you reassign those users other role, custom created role you wish to delete will be available in the “Delete Role” dropdown list. “Delete Role” button appears when at least one role for deletion is available.

This plugin has its own fluid system of required user capability definition.
With Admin role selected at Plugin access level it is enough to have ‘manage_options’ capability to get full access to this plugin.
With Editor selected at ‘Record Edit Access Level’ drop-down menu it is enough ‘edit_others_posts’ to get access to the list/add participants menus (screenshot attached).
For ‘Contributor’ selected it will be ‘edit_posts’.

Version 4.18.b2 updated this way:
Admin menu items with empty user capability are available in “Admin menu access” add-on now. “Participants Database” plugin defines its menu this way.

[Vladimir]

This plugin adds its own menu with empty capability (3rd parameter):

// define the plugin admin menu pages
    add_menu_page(
            self::$plugin_title,
            self::$plugin_title, 
            '', 
            self::PLUGIN_NAME, array(__CLASS__, 'include_admin_file')
    );

This is the reason why Admin menu add-on does not show “Participants Database” menu item. I will try to fix this compatibility issue.

Alternative way to manage access to the “Participants Database” plugin is to use its own drop-down menus to select roles for 2 levels of access to it: admin and records editing.

Test admin you created for me can not add new coupons too. Quick checking shows, that You have ‘Activate “Create Post/Page” capability’ option active. It turned on automatically with “Activate user access management to editing selected posts and pages” together. But “Administrator” role does not have ‘create_posts’ and ‘create_pages’ capabilities included. This is the reason of the problem. Administrators who may add new coupons has those capabilities added directly to their users.
After I added ‘create_posts’ and ‘create_pages’ capabilities to the “Administrator” role, test admin (you created for me) can add new coupons. I’m sure that it will be the same for the rest administrators.

Can not reproduce described problem:
1) Activated User Role Editor Pro.
2) Created user with ‘Administrator’ role.
3) Logged in under that user.
4) Created WooCommerce coupon successfully.

Is it possible to look on the issue on site? I need such problematic user account access.

[Vladimir]

@CutBlow76: Hi,
I can not repeat this issue. Is it possible to look on it at your site? I need administrator privileges and know what user does not have ‘logout’ menu item at admin backend.
