Add Capability for Co-Authors Plus Plugin?

Hello, I’m looking to grant the ability to create guest authors (feature of co-authors plus plugin) to users without granting admin access.

I’ve already taken a look at this forum post and followed the instructions to look at the plugin code, but haven’t seemed to have any luck.

Any ideas on where I could start?

Thanks…

Hi,

co-authors plugins uses: ‘list_users’ capability to protect its menu and some other functions. Another capabilities checked by this plugin: ‘edit_users’ and if current user can edit and/or delete the selected post.

How I got this information:

~/co-authors-plus$ grep -r -n -e "current_user_can("
php/class-coauthors-guest-authors.php:194:              if ( ! current_user_can( $this->list_guest_authors_cap ) ) {
php/class-coauthors-guest-authors.php:232:              if ( ! current_user_can( $this->list_guest_authors_cap ) ) {
php/class-coauthors-guest-authors.php:292:              if ( ! current_user_can( $this->list_guest_authors_cap ) ) {
php/class-coauthors-guest-authors.php:1341:             if ( ! current_user_can( $this->list_guest_authors_cap ) || is_network_admin() ) {
