Hi,

There is no user interface for this in the User Role Editor. You may restrict access for posting to the list of categories this way

Hi,

It is possible to update User Role Editor Pro as any other WordPress plugin. You need install the license key to use this feature. After that you will get WordPress notification when update is available.

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestion. I will include user menu access management to my development plan.

I work on access by role feature for posts and pages just now.

P.S. My apologies for the delay with answer. I did not get notification email about this post.

Hi,

My apologies for the delay with answer. Is this problem resolved already or you still need a help?

[Vladimir]

Hi,

The easiest way to achieve that – use “Admin Menu Editor” (http://wordpress.org/plugins/admin-menu-editor) plugin in conjunction with “User Role Editor”.

[Vladimir]

Hi,

Please send FTP and WordPress admin credentials to [email protected]
I will check what was happened with your site.

Hi Bernhard,

It is impossible with built-in WordPress capabilities as “Widgets” menu uses the same capability as the upper level menu “Appearance”.
We may block selected menu items for selected role by adding some code. Yes, I plan to add the interface for such functionality.

As about permissions for specific widgets this subject needs additional investigation. I have no ready to use decision for this moment.

Hi Joe,

If user with ‘administrator’ role has no any GF capabilities he automatically get full access to GF plugin functionality, line #841 of gravityforms.php file:

        else if(current_user_can("administrator")|| is_super_admin()){

            //checking if user has any GF permission.
            $has_gf_cap = false;
            foreach($gf_caps as $gf_cap){
                if(rgar($all_caps, $gf_cap))
                    $has_gf_cap = true;
            }

            if(!$has_gf_cap){
                //give full access to administrators if none of the GF permissions are active by the Members plugin
                $all_caps["gform_full_access"] = true;
            }
        }

Try to leave at least one minimal capability, e.g. “gravityforms_view_entries” and check how the access of administrator user will be changed.

Deactivate free version. Install Pro version.
Insert license key at the User Role Editor Pro Options page: Settings->User Role Editor.

Yes, you can assign specific page to edit to one specific user. Read this post for more details:

Hello,

Some times (year?) ago users started complain that there is a conflict between URE plugin and bbPress. bbPress did not store its own custom capabilities at the WordPress user roles storage but created them dynamically every page load. URE works directly with WP roles storage. It saved bbPress caps to the database when user edited some role. Thus I excluded bbPress capabilities from the User Role Editor scope of view apparently. That’s why you don’t see them in URE.

Let me investigate the question again (couple of days). I may provide you special URE version with opened access to the bbPress capabilities. Are you ready to test how the things will go?
