# Can site admin (not network admin) activate plugins?

 * I have a test Network with 6 active sites with 6 different site/blog admins.
 * As a Network Admin I can see the Plugin menu option for each site.
    As a Site
   Admin I do not see the Plugin menu option.
 * Is there a way to enable Site Admin’s to see and use the Plugin menu option so
   they can enable Plugin’s that are installed but not Activated for the entire 
   Network?
 * Site Admins do not need to install Plugins.
 * This seems like it should work since Site Admin’s can see the Appearance menu
   option and select available Theme’s for their blog.
 * Am I missing something here?

 * Yes, they can,. and yes you missed the setting under Network Admin -> Settings-
   > Plugins . a checkbox called “enable plugins menu”.
