   Is there a way I can allow users with a status of author to add IPs to block? I want to give access to the authors to add IPs but don't want to give them administrative rights.

   Currently, you will need to edit the file ipfilter.php and change the line 95:

   if( current_user_can( 'manage_options' ) )

   By:

   if( current_user_can( 'publish_posts' ) )

   And then Authors should be able to modify the list.

   Thanks, Gab
   I modified that line as well as the few other times it checks for the user type. Now it lets me see the page but if I try to save the changes (which goes to options.php) I get the "cheatin' uh?" message.

   Which lines do you modified exactly?

   I modified the one you mentioned which is around line 89

   Line 184
   if( current_user_can( 'manage_options' ) )

   Line 279 under
   $ipfilter_options_page_handle = add_submenu_page(

   Line 304
   if ( ! current_user_can( 'manage_options' ) )

   All of them I replaced "manage_options" with "publish_posts"

   I tried searching the forums, but there seems the "cheatin" message is so general.

   I think the problem is that publishers can't access the Settings section, only admins can.
