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.

[Vladimir]

@JJSpringer: Thanks for letting me know. This feature will be available until the end of this year.

[Vladimir]

It is good that you found a workaround. Your situation is something special. Of course you should not give to the user an ‘add_users’ capability in order he sees ‘howdy’ menu.
If sometime in the future you will desire to investigate this issue I’m ready to take part in it.

[Vladimir]

If issue remains with the only URE plugin active, do you use Admin menu blocking URE add-on? What will be if you deactivate this add-on turning off its check box at the ‘Additional Moduls’ tab of URE Settings?

[Vladimir]

I can not reproduce it. Topbar menu “howdy” is always visible. It seems I need more information.
Try to deactivate all other plugins except User Role Editor. Does issue remain? If ‘No’, what other plugin together with URE does lead to this issue?

[Vladimir]

Thanks for you answers.

At this point, as single site admin I can see URE under Users and under Settings, but not under Plugins.

URE is available at single site “Plugins” list (multisite) under the same condition as it’s available under “Users” and “Settings”. User should have URE’s key capability. It is ‘manage_network_plugins’ in case URE_ENABLE_SIMPLE_ADMIN_FOR_MULTISITE constant is not set or ‘administrator’ – the same as for single site, in other case.
So I understand when you report the 1st issue, that single site admin does not see URE at all. But I don’t see the reason for the current state. Add here the fact that I can not repeat this issue at my test WP multisite, where single admin sees URE under “Plugins” of his site.

Is it possible to get FTP and superadmin access to your test WP mulitisite installation in order to try to find the reason of the problem?

[Vladimir]

What role your single site administrator has? Is it “administrator” or it has some other name?

[Vladimir]

Does single site admin see other plugins under “Plugins” menu at your configuration?

There should be the way to tell WPEngine that your update to wp-config.php is legal and should not be stripped. Other way it loses the sense as you can not customize WP configuration for your own needs.

You are right about ‘Enable “unfiltered_html” capability” option. So I will just hide the other options from local admin, not the whole “Multisite” tab. Thanks.
