 * If you install Justin Tadlock’s members plugin: [http://wordpress.org/plugins/members/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/members/)
   you can set up a new role to include the import and export capabilities and assign
   that role to the users you want to be able to do this.

 * I already have too many plugins installed, Don’t think can afford another one.
 * Any alternative with code?

 * Plugins are just code.

 * I understand, I am getting to know wordpress better.
 * Thing is, All i want to do is make tools available to one other non admin user.
 * Which is be possible with few lines of code than to install a plugin.
 * I really have no other need, Hence i find it better to use code here.
 * Anyone help with code is appreciated.
