# Local Version – Editor Access

 * It looks like there is an issue that was introduced in 2.4.9 that prevents users
   with the editor role from being able to access the plugin. Even when **Settings
   > Advanced > Show the dashboard widget** for is set to “Editor and Above”, editors
   are not able to access the tool – it doesn’t show up in the admin menu and when
   going to /admin.php?page=view-broken-link, there is a “Sorry, you are not allowed
   to access this page.” error. 
   I tried resaving the setting as mentioned in this
   [Permission for Editor user after last update issue](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permission-for-editor-user-after-last-update/),
   but that did not fix it. I think it may be related to:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       ! empty( $local_settings->dashboard_widget_capability )
       ```
   
 * in `app/admin-pages/local-submenu/class-controller.php`, `prepare_props()`
   Changing
   that to:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       ! empty( $local_settings->get( 'dashboard_widget_capability' ) )
       ```
   
 * Seems to fix the issue.

 * Hi [@mactopher](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mactopher/)
 * I hope you are doing well and thank you for reporting it.
 * I could replicate the problem and reported to our developers, we can’t give an
   estimated time to release the fix but I hope we can include in any upcoming version.
 * Best Regards
