    I read a post that speaks of being able to restrict photo uploads to certain user roles — here’s an image of what I read http://screencast.com/t/5TnlnVqx

    However, when I went to the settingslink I could not find anything that helped me.

    I using MultiSite and Cannot Find where the Settings page is for Avatar Manager.

    Hi dplum,

    Avatar Manager uses the WordPress pre-defined roles and capabilities. Any user with the upload_files capability (allows access to add new media) is able to upload an avatar image (which is stored as a media item). To allow/restrict a role to upload files (including avatars) you can add/remove the upload_files capability from that role. The Anyone can upload option simply bypasses this verification allowing users like subscribers and contributors to upload an avatar image (roles which doesn’t have the upload_files capability by default). You can manage roles and capabilities programmatically or you can use a plugin like User Role Editor. Please let me know if this helps.

    Best,
    Cătălin
