    Hi, it seems like user with author role is unable to see plugin on dashboard, it doesn’t exists for this role.
    I have User Role editor plugin, wich first wasn’t active, then I activate this plugin hoping I could enable this with some kind of permissions.
    But even if I let all 10 permissions to user author – it still unable to see this plugin.

    User with Editor role can see normally on dashboard link to plugin, so I just duplicated permissions of editor for author, but without any results. Not sure if it has something to do with recent update.

    Is there any way I can manage permission for video gallery so user with author role is able to use it? Thank you in advance

    Sorry, the back-end is restricted only for the site “admin” and the “editor” user roles. You must use the Front-end User Submission feature for other user roles.

    Kindly follow the solution below if still you want to give access for the “authors” in the back-end,

    1. Open /wp-content/plugins/all-in-one-video-gallery/admin/videos.php

    2. Find the line,

    if ( current_user_can( 'editor' ) ) {

    3. Replace it as,

    if ( current_user_can( 'editor' ) || current_user_can( 'author' ) ) {

    4. Save the changes and check now.

    Hope this solved your issue!
