 * Is there a way to allow users other than admins to Create/Edit tables using Table
   Maker.
    It only shows up in an admin’s menu.

 * You can try to change plugin’s file inc/class-wpsm-table-maker.php
 * Find
 * `$this->page_hook = add_menu_page( __('Table Maker', 'wpsm-tableplugin'), __('
   Table Maker', 'wpsm-tableplugin'), 'manage_options', $this->page_slug, array(
   $this, 'print_page'), $this->base_url . "/img/icon.png" );`
 * Here, you need to change string “manage_options”
 * Change it to one of user capability [https://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities](https://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities)
 * For example, for authors, you can use edit_posts
 * Note, that in this case other users can change tables (even if they are not made
   by this user)

 * Hi, That fixed it, thanks. Changed to “publish_posts” to restrict to author only.
