 * Hi,
 * Is it possible to add a function to allow Editors to add/edit downloads? I don’t
   need them to have all the admin capabilities for anything else, just to manage
   all the downloads.
 * Thanks very much in advance, awesome plugin.

 * I was just wondering the same!
 * It’s strange that plugin creators didn’t think that a user with permissions to
   add/edit posts is not allowed to add/edit downloads 🙁
 * I was just looking around the plugin’s settings in search of permission settings
   and I found none!

 * Until we got an answer for this, I’ll be using **User Role Editor plugin** to
   add `manage_downloads` permission to Editor role. That will fix it by the moment.

 * Hey there,
 * Download Monitor uses it’s own capabilities to manage the downloads. You can’t
   manage what roles has access to what capabilities within Download Monitor, but
   you can with a plugin like this one: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-role-editor/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-role-editor/)
