   I'm having a problem with the default "author" functionality.

   I've already reset Role Scoper to the defaults and then tried it, here's the situation.

   when I enable the plugin, authors cannot see all the images in the library, only their own

   when I disable the plugin, they can see all the images again

   how can I make it so authors can see all the images in the library, while the plugin is activated?

   thanks!

   nevermind.

   I ended up writing some code that enables my contributors to do certain actions and I removed role scoper entirely

   I want this functionality too! Perhaps that code should be posted here?

   If the images are not attached to other posts, you can make them visible by enabling this option:

   Roles > Options > Features tab > Content Maintenance > "Non-editors see other users' unattached uploads"

   Why would I want that? I want every user with any kind of edit rights to be able to see all uploads, attached or not.

   @katin, here's the code for it:

   add_action( 'admin_init', 'contrib_can_upload', 10 );
   function contrib_can_upload( ) {
       $role =& get_role('contributor');
       $role->add_cap('upload_files');
   }

   it's for a site I work on, http://thejockosphere.com

   we needed contributors to be able to do more than they currently could, so @viper007bond helped me with the code and it works great.

   we also added this, so authors can do the same -- since authors can't see "all" uploaded images, only their own.

   add_action ('admin_init','author_can_upload', 10 );
   function author_can_upload() {
           $role =& get_role('author');
           $role->add_cap('upload_files');
   }

   which allows authors to upload files and view all uploaded files, both work great.
