Title: Cannot edit role Last modified: December 6, 2024 --- # Cannot edit role * Resolved [hbk747](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hbk747/) * (@hbk747) * [1 year, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-edit-role-2/) * Hello, * I have a role called MCQs Manager. As the name suggests this role is supposed to allow the user with this role to edit, publish, and delete quizzes. The plugin I am using for the quizzes is called QSM, a very popular plugin. Publish Press gives me many QSM capabilities in reading, editing, deleting, as well as in the additional capabilities but no matter what I do some capabilities just do not register for some reason. For example, I want to set all the capabilities for QSM (MCQs) editing as true like this: [https://ibb.co/T8SyWTh](https://ibb.co/T8SyWTh) * Basically when I select all the capabilities in the MCQs (whether in the editing, deletion, reading), most options disappear when I log in to that account. So when I log in and check the capabilities again, only the edit and create options are enabled in the editing MCQs section. Similar thing for deletion and reading. I also noticed a few invalid capabilities are present no matter what I do. They sometimes say read post, read qsm quiz etc. This remains the same if I keep qsm options in additional capabilities on or off. I am sure I am doing something wrong but cannot figure it out. * Please help! * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcannot-edit-role-2%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 15 total) * Plugin Support [Riza Maulana Ardiyanto](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rizaardiyanto/) * (@rizaardiyanto) * [1 year, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-edit-role-2/#post-18187421) * Hi [@hbk747](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hbk747/) * Thanks for using our plugin. * Can you please share some screen recording showcasing the issue?

Only as the admin can I acccess all QSM options and the capabilities do not disappear. I have tried the editor role, SEO manager, and the newly created MCQs Manager role but even when I turn on ALL capabilities in posts, pages, media, QSM/Quiz (essentially making those roles into admins), but still the QSM options appear for a while and then disappear. * Maybe I can create a staging website so you can see the issue directly.

Sorry, but that kind of direct support for a site is limited to PublishPress’ Pro members. * The next step in this issue may be to take this up with our Pro support or the QSM support. * Thread Starter [hbk747](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hbk747/) * (@hbk747) * [1 year, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-edit-role-2/#post-18231386) * [@stevejburge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stevejburge/) I see. * I have another question. If you go to the roles option, there used to be options to allow or disallow roles to log in. There was also an option to redirect people to a URL once they login. I do not see those options anymore.
