    Hi Tobias

    Thanks for all the work on this amazing plugin.

    Is it possible to restrict access to tables based on user level? For exmaple, Authors are able to delete tables created by Administrators. Is it possible that Authors can create and manage their own tables only?

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    TablePress uses the WordPress Roles and Capabilities system, so using e.g. the “Role Manager” component of the “Members” plugin from https://wordpress.org/plugins/members/ , you can define which capabilities should be available to which roles.

    Unfortunately, it’s not yet possible to restrict access rights on a per-table basis with this, i.e. if Authors would be given the capability to delete tables, they would be able to delete tables that were created by Administrators.
    I do have some ideas to make this more flexible, and I’m working on a TablePress Extension for this, but that will still take some time to develop.

    Regards,
    Tobias

    Tobias, thanks for the response.

    The Members plugin does the trick. WHile it would be nice to control access to each table, being able to disable delete is fine for me at present.

    Thanks for your advice, and thanks again for such a great plugin.

    Regards
    Mark

    Hi Tobias,

    Is there any update on the extension in which the author can edit/delete only their own tables?
