URE does not make any redirection itself in this case. It should exclude link from any WP listings and searches. So visitor trying to open the link should get “not found” message or 404 page provided by active theme settings. Does it work this way in your case?

According to the LD source code, Group Leader role has these capabilities by default:
‘read’,
‘group_leader’,
‘wpProQuiz_show_statistics’.
If show the Group Leader user in the Authors selector shown on the post editor, add
‘level_1’,
‘level_0’
else
‘level_0’ only.

With role restricted by “Admin menu” access I received required access for a user
I tested with older LearnDash version 3.3.0.3 though. If you have newer one, you may share it via Google Drive or DropBox with support [at] role-editor.com, in order I can make more exact test.

[Vladimir]

Try, Admin menu access add-on and block unneeded menu items for selected role.

Does ‘prevent from seeing’ mean, when editing, or viewing at front-end?

Hi,

This behavior is not wanted. It’s related to something special in your production environment. There is no difference for URE which role capabilities to request from server.

Would it by some security plugin, etc. Try deactivate all plugins temporally except URE, if possible. Will it resolve the issue?
If you can repeat this at a stage copy of the production setup, I may try to help investigate this.

Hi Tobias,

Profile menu item is available even to a user with ‘subscriber’ role, which has only ‘read’ capability. If this menu item is not available for your users, some plugin blocks it.
You may try deactivate them all, test, then activate plugins back one by one with new testing to isolate a reason.

@franchiserocket:
I may look if it’s possible to make something, if you share plugin copy with support [at] role-editor.com via Google Drive or Dropbox.

[Vladimir]

Thanks a lot for the good feedback and sharing your thoughts how to enhance the editing restrictions functionality. I agree with your suggestions and I will try to realize them in a month or two.

Hi,

URE Pro does not support wp-cli and any other CLI commands. If URE Pro is involved, You may temporally deactivate it – just rename it’s folder /wp-content/plugins/user-role-editor-pro to something other. It will be executed and will be automatically deactivated on ‘Plugins’ page opening.

URE Pro stores it’s settings in the database:

SELECT * FROM wp_options WHERE option_name='user_role_editor';

So you may change URE Pro settings replacing option_value field value.
For example, find
s:36:”force_custom_post_types_capabilities”;s:1:”1″;
and replace the final 1 with 0 in order to switch OFF the option “that CPT use their own permissions”.

Top admin menu bar items are the duplicates of the similar items from the main left side admin menu. So if use has access to the admin menu item, then he should have access to the similar item at the top admin menu bar.
If user does not have access to the main admin menu item, then you need to grant him such access, adding to a role a capability, which has administrator, but does not have this role.

[Vladimir]

You may use the ‘Prohibit’ value for ‘What to do’ option at the profile page of the selected user. Specify, what pages he can not edit. So such user will can edit all other pages, which are beyond of the specified criteria.

[Vladimir]

You are right. I will re-check the 1st available category pre-selection, as it worked earlier.

[Vladimir]

At my test I added new post without problem, but can not assign category for translation until extended list of allowed categories by the translation categories ID.

I suppose that your allowed to edit only main language category. Translation for category has own ID. Add needed ID to the list of allowed categories ID.

Hi,

If you revoked from shop_manage role some capability, this change is permanent. It does not depend from the presence of User Role Editor Pro at your site. You may grant it back manually to solve this.
WooCommerce->Reports menu is protected by ‘view_woocommerce_reports’ capability.
WooCommerce->Orders menu is protected by ‘edit_shop_orders’ capability.
If role can these capabilities but still can not access these menu items, and URE deactivation does not help, that is you don’t apply some restriction via URE’s additional modules, then some another plugin may be involved. Try to deactivate all plugins except WooCommerce and test. If that helps, activate plugins back one by one to isolate a reason.
