 * Hello. For some reason, when I’m logged with a user with “Editor” role or below
   I cannot access to the “Settings” or “Add-on” tabs on the WordPress Dashboard.
 * Is this intended to be like this? Or it’s a bug?
 * Thanks a lot for your help!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Feditor-role-cannot-change-settings%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi [@nchiari](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nchiari/),
 * Modifying the settings in Restaurant Reservations requires the `manage_options`
   capability, which only Administrators have by default.
 * The following Gist is a micro plugin which will change the required capability
   to `edit_pages`, which Editors have by default:

 * To use it, click the Download link at the top, unpack the .php file, and upload
   it to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory of your WordPress site. Once uploaded,
   you can activate it from the Plugins page in your WordPress admin area.
