I’m not sure what problem you are having. * Thread Starter [vandersar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dtobe2002/) * (@dtobe2002) * [2 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-capability/#post-17539275) * Hello thanks for the answer! Yes it is still not visible, when you give “edit post” nothing happend still not visible. I think something is wrong with the capability, edit post is not the Required capability to show it ! * Plugin Author [David Cavins](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dcavins/) * (@dcavins) * [2 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-capability/#post-17539858) * What specifically is not visible? I’m still not sure what issue you’re seeing. Can you share a screen shot? * Thread Starter [vandersar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dtobe2002/) * (@dtobe2002) * [2 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-capability/#post-17545468) * Like i wrote i use “Admin menu editor” to show for a specific role a edited menu! The Required capability is “edit_posts ” when you add this capability to a role, BP Dokuments should bee seen in the admin bar. But in this case its not visible! You must add bunch of other capability to be seen! * [https://ibb.co/RT2SgF2](https://ibb.co/RT2SgF2) [https://ibb.co/R6Kvpv2](https://ibb.co/R6Kvpv2) * [azzuwayed](https://wordpress.org/support/users/azzuwayed/) * (@azzuwayed) * [2 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-capability/#post-17712927) * If I may jump in, I’m here for the same issue and I will try to explain it. * We are trying to fine tune the capabilities for who can publish/edit documents using another plugin called “**Menu Editor Pro**“. Currently, you almost need to give admin capabilities to enable Docs for any role (visible as OP describes it). I am not an expert in this area, I think the plugin needs its own capabilities for more narrow control. * **Check out these examples for other plugins:** [https://i.ibb.co/bmhJyXJ/Screenshot-2024-04-25-135914.png](https://i.ibb.co/bmhJyXJ/Screenshot-2024-04-25-135914.png) [https://i.ibb.co/cknjgp3/Screenshot-2024-04-25-135800.png](https://i.ibb.co/cknjgp3/Screenshot-2024-04-25-135800.png) [https://i.ibb.co/xYMymwB/Screenshot-2024-04-25-135850.png](https://i.ibb.co/xYMymwB/Screenshot-2024-04-25-135850.png) * **However, for Docs plugin:** [https://i.ibb.co/YXymk89/Screenshot-2024-04-25-135937.png](https://i.ibb.co/YXymk89/Screenshot-2024-04-25-135937.png) * I hope this helps clarify the issue, or rather just a missing feature. * Thanks, - This reply was modified 2 years, 1 month ago by [azzuwayed](https://wordpress.org/support/users/azzuwayed/).

Even the Docs menu in the admin area is not needed and should be managed by the super admin only. * Plugin Author [David Cavins](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dcavins/) * (@dcavins) * [2 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-capability/#post-17719117) * Hi [@azzuwayed](https://wordpress.org/support/users/azzuwayed/) Thanks for the screenshots. Yes, BP Docs use dynamic permissions, which is why they’re not set up in the same way as other plugins. For instance, by default, any logged-in user can create a document, but a user must belong to a group to associate a document with it. When a doc is created, the document author can choose who can read and edit the doc, so each doc essentially has its own set of permissions. * We do not recommend creating documents from the WP Admin area, as they will not necessarily receive the meta and taxonomy terms they need to function properly. * Thanks for your explanation of the issue! I had no idea what this other plugin is attempting to do.
