Is there a way to allow a WordPress user with the category of Contributor or Author to add a featured image to a post? Not just, Editor’s or Administrator’s?
Your request is not related to Quick Featured Images but to WordPress.
Access to the “Featured Image” box is controlled by the WordPress capability upload_files. You have to make sure the role does have the upload_files permission. Please note, this includes access to the Media Library. The role can than upload any file.
As you can see here, role Author has the capability upload_files by default, contributor not.
Thank you for your reply. I confirm that author roles have the upload_files capability but only administrator and editor roles display in the Quick Featured Images settings as below.

I have checked this request and cannot add it. Adding the author role would have side effects that require too much attention. Since I’m currently focusing on revamping Quick Featured Images, I need to take care of that task first before adding new features.
Thank you for your understanding.
