   I'm looking to set up a blog for multiple authors where I would be the sole administrator.

   From within Subscribe2 in their dashboard sidebars, how do I prevent my users in lesser roles, mostly authors, from

   -under "Your subscriptions" selecting (all their fellow blog users including themselves and me) "Do not send notifications for post made by these authors" and

   -under "Send Email" emailing all other blog users at will?

   In other words, how can I restrict my blog users to only accessing and managing their own Email subscription preferences and nothing else if I use Subscribe2 as an Email subscription plugin?

   Thanks

   @saintandrews,

   Copied from the FAQ:

   I want to change the kinds of users who can access the Subscribe2 menus. Is that possible?
   Yes, it is possible with a little bit for code either in a custom plugin or your functions.php file in your theme. You use the add_filter() command that is part of WordPress to change the capability that allows access to each of the Subscribe2 menus.

   function s2_admin_changes( $capability, $menu ) {
       // $capability is the core WordPress capability to allow admin page access
       // $menu is the title of the page:
       //  'user' for access to personal subscription settings
       //  'manage' to allow access to the user management screen
       //  'settings' to allow access to the plugin settings
       //  'send' for access to the Send Email page
   
       // identify the menu you are changing capability for first
       // then return a new capability
       if ( $menu == 'send' ) {
           return 'read';
       }
   
       return $capability;
   }
   
   add_filter('s2_capability', 's2_admin_changes', 10, 2);

   Thanks for responding so quickly, MattyRob, and I apologize for not checking the FAQ for this-I looked through most of the forum posts instead

   @saintandrews,

   You are welcome - copy and paste answers are pretty quick for me so the FAQs serve a dual purpose! :)
