# section editor file link bug?

 * I notice a possible bug. When the user is an Editor, they can add like “href=
   file://blahblah-local-file” but when a user is a section editor, the “file:” 
   is removed so the link turns into “href=//blahblah-local-file”.
 * What kind of permission does a section editor get? similar to editor?
 * Thanks in advance.

 * I notice that below an editor does the same thing. If the section editor gives
   similar access to an Author, is there a way to give access similar to an Editor?

 * The filtering of the “file://” protocol in links occurs for any role below Editor
   due to the lack of the `unfiltered_html` capability. See [http://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities](http://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities)
   for more info.
 * By default the capability set for section editors is quite restrictive. This 
   can be modified programmatically or through a role management plugin such as 
   [Members](http://wordpress.org/plugins/members/). See this [Github Wiki](https://github.com/bu-ist/bu-section-editing/wiki/Custom-Section-Editing-Roles)
   page for more details.
