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.
