 * It would be great if possible to make this great plugin (thanks!) available on
   per user-role basis. For example only for administrators.

 * [@francesco](https://wordpress.org/support/users/francesco/): do you have any
   suggestion on how this should be implemented?
 * Maybe like this:
 * 1. File Gallery creates a new capability, let’s say ‘can_use_file_gallery’
    2.
   this capability is then assigned to administrators, editors and authors by default
   3. on the settings screen, there would be another block of options for choosing
   which roles should have File Gallery metabox enabled
 * How does that sound? I’ll put it on my todo list 😉

 * Yes, it sounds good!
    This feature request is because me (and think other admins)
   use your great plugin to manage linked images to a post. Sometimes editors add
   images and then remove them, so these images remain linked to the page, but in
   fact they are not used. This create problems with certain themes. For example
   the ones who fetches automatically linked images. The concept of “linked images”
   is usually not clear to editors, so I prefer to manage this by myself, as admin.
   What do you think?
