   Hi Mariusz,
   I'm not sure what you mean. Can you be more specific what type of issue you have?

   Regards,
   Vasyl

   Sure.
   I use a few kinds of plugins.
   Eg. Rating-Widget Plugin (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/rating-widget/) or Revolution slider
   It creates own modules in left sidebar of admin panel.

   Now I want to activate it for Editor role.
   In your plugin options list, in capabilities tab I cannot find such a capability, so I cannot manage access right to this plugin...

   Oh. I'm not sure that you'll be able to do that.
   The developer of this plugin, probably granted access to this plugin only for administrator's role.
   There is no such a thing like capability for a plugin. We, as developers, define our own capabilities if it is required. So if you really need it, then you have to dig inside that plugin and rewrite the Admin menu definition for that plugin.
   Would be also cool if you contact plugin's developer with your idea. He may take your suggestion and create a custom capability for that plugin and you'll be able to manage it with AAM.

   Hi Mariusz, i had the same problem/request with Revolution Slider plugin.

   I wanted "editor" role to be able to edit the slider(s).

   I took a look at the code and I found this in inc_php/revslider_globals.class.php on line 5

   const SHOW_SLIDER_TO = "admin"; //options: admin, editor, author

   That's a constant decalaration inside the GlobalsRevSlider class.

   I know - generally speaking - it's not good to modify code, since if you update plugin you will lose this change, but if you change "admin" to "editor" in that line, your problem should be solved.

   My Revolution Slider version is 2.1.4, maybe in next release it will be possible to modify that value using wp-admin UI - maybe you can do it right now too, but I didn't find where :-)
