# Admin Only

 * Hi,
 * I would like to allow another role apart from administrators to have access to
   the user editor role plugin (have both standard and pro). I appreciate this will
   allow for this role to have full access to the system but it is required and 
   the role is limited to a small number.
 * I assume the above is the only solution as the problem I have is that I would
   roles to be allowed to change other users secondary role. For example
 * Staff member –> Can a default secondary role of a customer to elite customer.
 * In turn allowing them more permissions, however I do not want to give staff members
   admin as I wish to maintain it myself and present staff members with a reduced
   backend interface but with the power to change secondary roles.
 * Hopefully this makes sense
 * Thanks in advance
 * Sam

 * Hi Sam,
 * Starting from version 4.18 it is possible to give other than ‘administrator’ 
   role access to the User Role Editor. Use ‘ure_%’ permissions for that.
    But currently
   it is not possible to give to the role permissions to change user’s capabilities
   and/or his secondary roles without giving access to the User Role Editor itself(
   ure_edit_roles). I plan to change this in a future version. It has sense to add
   special capabilities to allow change secondary roles and user capabilities separately
   too.
 * Pro version 4.18 is in the beta-testing state currently. You may download it 
   after login from [https://www.role-editor.com/download-plugin/](https://www.role-editor.com/download-plugin/)

 * Hi Vladimir,
 * I am running 4.18.b5 currently.
 * Do I just add another Custom capability with the name of ‘ure_%’ ? As I cant 
   see the permission on the system as default.
 * Regards,
 * Sam

 * Hi Sam,
 * Custom URE’s capabilities were included to 4.18.b6. Download and install the 
   latest version please. Deactivate prev. version 1st. In theory You should not
   append anything manually. All new caps will be added automatically after plugin
   activation.

 * Hi Vladimir,
 * That appears to have worked perfectly.
 * Any idea when you are considering adding the secondary role feature discussed
   above?
 * Thank you very much.
