 * I installed the plugin and it worked correcty.
    But it would be nice if my authors
   could use this, too. Unfortunately this is not possible because the the instant
   images admin page can only accessed with the capability “edit_theme_options”.
 * I think this is a bug because this capability is completely unrelated the the
   functionality of this plugin. This plugin is adding images to the wordpress media
   library. So a capability should be used which is meant to handle media library
   uploads.
 * I think the capability “upload_files” should be used instead of “edit_theme_options”.

 * [@derweili](https://wordpress.org/support/users/derweili/) Agreed, In the next
   version there is a filter to update the user capability role.
