Allow non-admin roles access

Hi @edival,

All of the capabilities for this plugin are tied to the manage_options capability (an admin-only capability). In almost all places, this capability can be changed with a filter.

For example, if you want to editors to be able to access parts of this plugin, use this code snippet. (The manage_links capability is only for Editors and Admins).

add_filter( 'yikes-mailchimp-user-role-access', 'yikes_mailchimp_change_user_role', 10, 1 );

function yikes_mailchimp_change_user_role( $cap ) {
    return 'manage_links';
}

For more information about capabilities for different roles, check out this article: https://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Roles_and_Capabilities.

Let me know if you need any help applying this custom code.

Thank you,
Kevin.

Haha well that’s how it’s supposed to work. I just tried it out and manage_links is a wrong capability.

Which roles are you looking to enable it for?

return 'publish_posts'; Should work for Authors, Editors, and Admins.

return 'read'; Should work for all user roles.

return 'unfiltered_html'; Should work for Editors and Admins.

Note that some of these won’t work in multisite configurations.

Hi @edival,

Were you able to work that out? Do you have the capabilities working as you’d like them?

Let us know.

Thank you,
Kevin.

Hello,

Unfortunately a filter function is the only way to do it. For editors & admins, that would look like this:

add_filter( 'yikes-mailchimp-user-role-access', 'yikes_mailchimp_change_user_role', 10, 1 );

function yikes_mailchimp_change_user_role( $cap ) {
    return 'unfiltered_html';
}
