   Hi anmari.

   I am so glad to have your excellent plugin working. Thank you!

   One question: What "role capability" is needed to be able to export CSV?

   For instance, should a subscriber be able to export? Or only a contributor? Or higher?

   If I wanted to change this, where in the plugin's code would I go?

   I created a custom role, and gave it the "list_users" capability. It can access the list (view it). But when I try to export CSV with it, I get taken to a generic view of the dashboard at this location:

   /wp-admin/?c=1

   Thanks again for such a great plugin!

   Hi Doug,
   I had a bit of a look and I think improved wp security has possible caused this bug.

   I did not get exactly your problem. I used an editor with 'list_users' and got the dreaded
   "you do not have permission to access this page" bug - 'tis one that has caused people many debug problems.

   I think it is because the csv php code is in a file that is in a options page, so wp probably does not like a non-admin linking there. the link is something like http://localhost/wpbeta/wp/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=ameta-admin.php&csv=1&_wpnonce=4ea77067f5 (CSV was originally just an admin thing)

   So either the user needs "manage_options" - yuck do not do that ,
   or the code has to be relocated and the csv link changed.

   I cannot work on it this weekend but am planning an update after testing against wp 3.1, so maybe a few days later? Unless someone else feels like diving into the code...
