 * Can I give the role of “Shop Manager” access to the Email Log feature?

 * In theory, Post SMTP would have no knowledge of any new roles created by users
   so wouldn’t be able to assign access rights to a custom user type.
    At the moment,
   I believe Post SMTP uses the level of Admin to control access to all settings.
   It doesn’t split up access control down to specific areas within Post SMTP (i.
   e. access to logs, sending of test email, import/export, troubleshooting, notifications).
 * However, there are other plugins which let you manage and control access to WP/
   Plugin features and controls.
    One plugin I use and recommend to clients is “
   User Role Editor” [https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-role-editor/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-role-editor/)
 * That plugin will let you assign access to Post SMTP, but it will give them access
   to “Manage Post SMTP” (manage_postman_smtp) which will include I suspect making
   the settings available as well as the logs.
    You can assign access via a specific
   username or groups of users (i.e. in your case “Shop Manager”).
 * We could ask [@yehudah](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yehudah/) very nicely
   if we could create a specific privilege requirement for the logs but that isn’t
   a quick fix.
 * Hope that helps.
