 * Hi
    this seems to be a very useful plugin. But I removed dashboard access and
   adminbar for users, so I cannot use it. Have you plans for frontend access?
 * Thanks

 * That’s a very good question, Georgio! Right now, we don’t have any immediate 
   plans to add front-end interfaces to Buoy for several reasons, but as we continue
   to develop the tool, we _are_ planning on creating several theme and plugin hooks
   for other developers to create new and extend existing interfaces to Buoy features.
 * If you want to help us determine what these hooks should be so that themes and
   other components can make the best use of them, consider joining us in [our project chat room](https://gitter.im/betterangels/buoy)
   to discuss this! You can also [open an issue ticket on our project management tracker here](https://github.com/betterangels/buoy/wiki/Submitting-a-feature-request).

 * Thank you [@meitar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/meitar/) for your quick
   response. I am not a developer and don’t have technical knowledge to help in 
   this project. I am launching a site for professionals and I thought that Buoy
   could be useful for professional emergencies. I see that Buoy doesn’t fit my 
   needs at this moment and it will take much time to have frontend access. So I
   will look for something else. Have a nice day !

 * No worries, glad I could get you an answer. 🙂
 * Out of curiosity, what do you mean by “professional emergencies?”

 * Some examples:
 * -people who travel and need to be in constant contact with their business
    -difficult
   or risky jobs -work under difficult circumstances (bad weather, mountain, sea
   etc) -missions in dangerous countries -urgent problems in business in not working
   hours -every external coordination -assistance in completing tasks remotely
 * The problem with dashboard access is that many plugins have options on posts 
   and pages. For example a simple member can see my membership options and manipulate
   the “plugin organizer” for the page they create. If some plugins are not loaded
   with the page the results will affect not only the page, but the image of the
   site.

 * Thanks, those are good examples. Some of them are examples I think are related
   to what we’re building for so it would be good to keep them in mind.

 * This seems like a problem with the given plugin, not about whether Dashboard 
   access is available. Plugins should be responsible for exposing only the functionality
   a given user capability permits, and for implementing access control checks on
   their own features.

 * You are right. I had a problem with the given plugin and I fixed it. I still 
   have problems with other plugins that show system information and alerts to simple
   users and I hope to fix them as well by contacting their authors. So I reconsider
   my decision and I think that I can use Buoy which seems to be a wonderful and
   very useful tool. I will test it and give you feedback.
    Thank you very much!
