Access to Admin CP

Here’s a list of the user levels and what each level has access to.

In most cases the user levels for various admin tasks are hardcoded in the source. So if you need to make changes to one, you’ll need to edit it’s php document under wp-admin/, and look for where $user_level is compared throughout it.

Note: When editing source files, back up those you’re working on, and comment your changes for future reference.

“under wp-admin/ what file .php?”

Write, Manage, Profile and UPLOAD

Take your pick. Access the admin page(s) you want to make changes to, and look at the filename(s). Then start editing (carefully).

Note that in the case of Write and Manage, the file could be broken into various files. For example, look at edit-form.php and edit-form-advanced.php for the post elements.

parisgv: technically, letting a user upload files to your blog is very much equivalent to letting him access your entire admin menu. thus, you might just as well increase the level of your user.

if you still want to go through the wordpress code, search for:

function user_can

Or for:

$user_level

It will lead you to the various files where they are used.

parisgv — there is an option in Options -> Miscellaneous that allows you to change the min level necessary to upload
