    Is there a way to enable an Editor to edit a specific plugin settings page without giving them too much access?

    So I’m using the Members (by MemberPress) plugin to manage user roles, but the only way to allow Editors to edit the plugin settings is to enable “manage_options”, which gives them too much access. Is there a way to give them access to only these specific plugin settings and nothing else?

    Hi @dnjen

    Plugin authors can use any capability they want, including custom capabilities to access their features. If you know which capabilities are required to edit a particular feature in a plugin you can assign those capabilities to a user/role.

    Remember that many plugins create custom capabilities or grant access to admin settings pages using a native capability associated with administrators, such as manage_options. In that case, you need to contact plugin author to get more information about capabilities used in their plugin.

    Best
