    Hi Everyone,
    I’ve been trying to allow access for other roles than administrator to have full access of this plugin.As I think that I looked up that there are no user management function in CDBT and I have no desire to use role management plugins (I try to minimise plugins as much as I can), I already put some codes in the functions.php as follows

    function add_editor_access(){
    $role = get_role('editor');
    $role->add_cap('list_users');
    $role->add_cap('edit_users');
    $role->add_cap('delete_users');
}
add_action('admin_init','add_editor_access');

    I can’t find the add_cap parameter for CDBT plugin, where do I look it up or can anyone tell me what the parameter is?

    you can use advanced accesss manager to grant access for user and Admin menu editor to allows you to edit admin page menu

    Thank you for your inquiry.

    Actually, this CDBT plugin has filter of user capability for the administrator menu.
    The way to use is as follows:

    function custom_cdbt_operating_capability( $capability ){

  $capability = 'edit_posts'; // enable access by contributor

  return $capability;
}
add_filter( 'cdbt_operating_capability', 'custom_cdbt_operating_capability' );

    However, it may be not able to manage the table by set permission in each table, even though user that is allowed to access cdbt menu.

    Thank you,

    Hi Everyone,
    Apparently I managed to do it on the Shortcodes section of the plugin and set the cdbt-edit to editor now.

    It works now, and the editor role can now manage CDBT plugin as we intended, I thank you for the support.
