# Allow access for editors

 * This a great plugin, simple and easy to use.
 * I needed to get it to work in a way which would allow Editors or users without
   full admin privileges to to use it.
 * Firstly I moved it from Settings to under the Tools menu as this can be seen 
   by editors.
    I actually that Tools rather that Settings might be a more logical
   place for it to live? [https://github.com/benhuson/simple-301-redirects/commit/93b909ad07a2933092e00a8adbb1f4ba526704d9](https://github.com/benhuson/simple-301-redirects/commit/93b909ad07a2933092e00a8adbb1f4ba526704d9)
 * Then I made the capability required to edit the redirect filterable so it’s possible
   to customise the capability to whatever is required:
    [https://github.com/benhuson/simple-301-redirects/commit/91b51175d3e41268ca74e6c994257779ec6cbc23](https://github.com/benhuson/simple-301-redirects/commit/91b51175d3e41268ca74e6c994257779ec6cbc23)
 * Then you can set the appropriate capability via the filter:
 *     ```
       function my_simple301redirects_admin_capability( $capability ) {
       	return 'edit_pages';
       }
       add_filter( 'simple301redirects_admin_capability', 'my_simple301redirects_admin_capability' );
       ```
   
 * I’m posting this here in case anyone finds it useful but it would be great if
   this could be incorporated into the main plugin.

 * Great suggestion, Ben! If this feature doesn’t make it into the next version 
   of the plugin (I’m wrapping final testing this week) it’s on my list for the 
   following release.

 * +1 here! I definitely don’t want to modify the plugin directly anymore.

 * Did this ever make it into the plugin?

 * Hi,
 * Is there a simpler way to enable the editors to be able to update the redirects?
 * Thanks.
