 * Can’t see anything about allocating role permissions, is the plugin “administrator”
   only?

 * The “Post SMTP Email Log” functionality for a non administrator role user e.g.
   where a site has an “Editor” or custom role such as “Site Administrator”. This
   allows someone other than an administrator to manage sent emails etc.

 * No problem.
 * The reason is where a WordPress site use different roles for administrative tasks
   e.g.:
 * administrator – full access
    Editor – editor access + Post SMTP access (to manage
   logs)
 * It turns out that a capability already exists within the plugin -> manage_postman_smtp.
 * This could be improved by adding a “manage_postman_logs” capability that allowed
   access to the logs area only (not the plugin settings).

 * You lucky, you caught me while adding a new feature to next release.
 * I just finished adding what you asked, with a plugin like ‘user role editor’ 
   you can assign the ‘manage_postman_logs’ cap to any role you want.
 * BUT… wait for next release, coming soon ….

 * Fantastic 🙂
 * I use role editor (sometimes pro) on my sites and this is how I found the “manage_postman_smtp”
   capability.
 * look forward to the next release!!
