 * Hi There,
 * First of all, thanks for the useful plugin.
    We are going to employ an expert
   to answer comments on our blog section. How to give only “comment reply access”
   to this person. we have testes several combination like modarate_comments, edit-
   posts and etc but it will give access to other posts and pages too. Any suggestion
   would be much appreciated.
 * Thank you,

 * Hi,
 * Thanks for the good feedback.
    ‘Comments’ admin menu is protected by ‘edit_posts’.
 * Only user which can edit post, can moderate/reply to the comments to that post
   at the WP back-end. So you have to grant to such user at least ‘edit_posts’, ‘
   edit_others_posts’.
 * Workaround, if you don’t wish such user edit posts, to block for him the ‘Posts’
   admin menu. You may use [this sample](https://shinephp.com/how-to-block-wordpress-admin-menu-item/)
   as a starting point.
 * Or look at the “[Admin menu access](https://www.role-editor.com/block-admin-menu-items)”
   add-on included into User Role Editor Pro.
