Editor cannot access Media (3 posts)

    I have a WP installation (one of many) and I just set up the first user as an "Editor" role but she logs in and there is no Media section in the left hand navigation nor is there the icons/functionality to upload media of any type when creating a new post/page (or editing another).

    I have disabled or flat out deleted plugins and this has had no effect.

    I checked another installation that is allowing Editors access to Media Library and the only difference I can see is at the server level:

    The problem installation is running PHP 5.2 FastCGI with mod_security and the one working fine is running PHP 4 CGI with mod_security. I don't think this should have any bearing (if anything I'd think the problem reversed) but as I said, it's the only thing different.

    help! :) and thanks

    Are you perhaps running multisite? There is an option detailed here that you must check to enable media uploads. http://codex.wordpress.org/Network_Admin_Settings_Screen#Upload_Settings
